(July 24, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.ca (Pink Sheets: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer of Canadian cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover is augmenting its U.S. retail account sales force with the immediate appointment of Illinois based manufacturer’s sales agency ISK Industries www.isk-industries.com. ISK already services Sears/K-Mart, Target, Menards, Meijer’s, and Ace Hardware corporate amongst others. The move reinforces Winning Brands’ intention to have a mix of retail chains and independent local stores carrying its eco-responsible Winning Colours Stain Remover coast to coast in the USA. Winning Colours has been increasingly described as a brand to watch as tipping point developments lift Winning Colours to national brand stature.
ISK President Don Cashmore explains what his group intends to do for Winning Brands; “We are very strong in the mix concept. Yes, we reach professional outlets and distributors, but we also already have working relationships with retail chains. Winning Colours Stain Remover deserves to be in U.S. chains – there’s no doubt about it. We are going to boost their contact management in this regard to support what they are already working on by themselves and with others. Our focus on the Midwest doesn’t stop us from working with national accounts either. The Midwest is our backyard where there is a special concentration. We’re accustomed to being successful in what we do and we recognize winners when we see them. Winning Colours Stain Remover is going to be a success story for us to talk about. That’s the way we see it”.

The innovative stain remover and multi-cleaner is targeted to become the world’s favourite stain removing solution and multi-cleaner because of its unusual characteristic of being strong as a solvent, but gentler than soap. This performance gives consumers the freedom to find favourite uses in a remarkably broad range of applications.

Examples include the automotive stains, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JHJP4kYz5I&NR=1, industrial stains of various commercial types, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiIrH71IgRA&feature=related clothing stains, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeD7JIClOLk&feature=related , embedded chewing gum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOhronFNcTA and a variety of chemical messes on skin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e13rArdH6M&feature=related.

We are modifying our website store locator operation to accommodate new functions, so the Indianapolis locations will take a week or so to pop up. We have chosen Indianapolis media partner WIBC 93.1FM “Indy’s News Center” (http://www.wibc.com/) to develop a suitable marketing strategy to support this initiative and lay the foundation for growth in Indianapolis.

We can start that process now that we know who the retailers are,” Mr. Lehner added. July 31st had been the date set by Winning Brands to achieve placement with 100 stores in greater Indianapolis as the first run of the new distribution concept.

They have also heard from stores who want it. It’s clear now that Winning Colours Stain Remover is great fit and Lancaster wants its retail account base to have access to this new product. Together, we can make Winning Colours Stain Remover the talk of the industry.” The move keeps Lancaster at the forefront of servicing paint retailers with new products that help them succeed. The Lancaster relationship will be managed for Winning Brands by Key Account Manager, C.E. Norman of North Carolina.
Mr. Lehner points out that the business relationship with Lancaster helps close the gap for Winning Brands between independent retailers and chains; “Lancaster recently announced the creation of an expanded National Accounts Team that will be dedicated to building current business and finding new business with retail chains across all market channels. It is clear from recent developments at Winning Brands that we are finding ways to boost our exposure to national retailers. This is a big step in the right direction. Winning Colours Stain Remover now has the foundation for a banner year in 2010. Our distribution arrangements are now very good.” Mr. Lehner remarked.

Piggly Wiggly is Winning Brands' Launch Partner for U.S. Grocery Sector Initial Focus on South Carolina and Georgia for Launch of Winning Colours Stain Remover
(September 15, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (OTC: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer of eco-responsible cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover welcomes the Piggly Wiggly banner to its family of retailers with the listing of Winning Colours by Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company, www.thepig.net. Representing over 100 stores, this is the largest single franchise ownership holding within the Piggly Wiggly group of over 600 stores. The listing follows successful implementation by Winning Brands of its EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) system and relevant planogram considerations by the grocer.
The opportunity for Winning Colours Stain Remover to start with the Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company, in particular, is considered a perfect fit for Winning Brands’ launch into the U.S. grocery sector. The high level of service in this specific group of grocery stores throughout South Carolina and Eastern Georgia is well known and matches Winning Brands’ preference to work with partners who care about what they do. Piggly Wiggly Carolina, employee owned, is known regionally for maintaining supportive relationships with consumers and in the communities they serve. This is consistent with Winning Brands’ special effort to develop satisfying relationships with Winning Colours Stain Remover customers. It is the stated goal of Winning Brands that Winning Colours Stain Remover become America’s favourite stain removing product and multi-cleaner.
Operational steps for the new listing with Piggly Wiggly are being coordinated now that the listing has been confirmed. Winning Brands Senior VP Lorne Kelly comments – “People who are interested in Winning Brands will see the logic of us boosting our presence in the Carolinas and Georgia for a number of reasons. Also, the ability of expanding sideways into the grocery sector here confirms that as great as the paint sector is, it is only one sector for Winning Colours. Here is another, U.S. grocery, and there are more to come.”
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner adds that it has always been his company’s preference to grow from a manageable starting point within a large retail group before spreading across the entire group. “Taking things one step at a time will contribute to an orderly progression, resulting in knowledgeable personnel on the ground. The remaining stores within the group will look with interest on the experience of this initial collection of Piggly Wiggly stores. We’d like to focus on the success of Piggly Wiggly Carolina Company as the basis for enthusiasm amongst grocers, both within the Piggly Wiggly group and generally in the sector.” remarks Mr. Lehner. It is estimated that in the United States there are approximately 50 well known grocery banners, including Piggly Wiggly, operated by multi-state store groups that in aggregate operate 35,000 supermarket locations with sales over $2 million per store.

Southern California Gets First Winning Brands Distributor Inventory now in California for quick deliveries of Winning Colours Stain Remover
(June 17, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer and marketer of advanced eco cleaning solutions, announced today that it has delivered product inventory to its first California distributor, XL Supply and Sundries of Anaheim. Approximately 5,000 bottles of Winning Colours Stain Remover in two sizes, as well as California’s first inventory of CLEAN1 Spray from Winning Brands are now on-hand for efficient deliveries to Southern California retailers. XL Supply is a specialized distributor of paint sundries, highly focused to meet the needs of select paint retailers such as Sherwin Williams, Dunn Edwards and Frazee Paints from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Previously, Winning Brands deliveries to Winning Colours retailers in Southern California were through out-of-state distributors and managed at a distance, which hampered growth.
“This development gives Winning Brands its first practical presence in California,” says Winning Brands National Sales Manager, Patricia Diane Miles. “Our emerging Brand Ambassadors Paul D’Orazio and Brandon Whaley, both residents of Southern California, are going to provide local support to help XL Supplies be effective in its new role, perform training and participate in select sales calls, while looking for new opportunities. Our presence in California demonstrates commitment. This will help us ramp up additional market sector openings and tests. It’s only the beginning.” Ms. Miles concludes.
California has long been in the forefront of environmentally sensitive issues relating to the use of solvents and chemicals in commercial and residential settings. This and the fact that California would be ranked as one of the world’s top ten economies if it were considered on its own, makes local California working relationships opportune for Winning Brands. The current economic climate has had less impact on painting projects than many other categories of consumer expenditure because houses and apartments continue to be painted whether they are put up for sale or renovated as an alternative to sale. Winning Colours Stain Remover is gaining fans in the paint sector for its ease of use in cleaning up messes of all kinds associated with painting projects, without solvents, while being exceptionally gentle to skin and delicate surfaces, including upholstery, clothing and carpet. Professional painters and artists also consider Winning Colours to help preserve the useful life of their brushes, almost regardless of the paint type used.
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner adds that the California paint store sector is only the starting point for Winning Brands in the state. “It’s an outdoors’ state with active people. It has the perfect climate for maintenance activities all year long. Winning Colours Stain Remover has the dual personality of both a full strength stain remover as well as a highly economical and versatile multi-cleaner when diluted with water. We are well positioned to provide satisfaction to California’s 30 million people, indoors and outdoors,” Mr. Lehner concludes. ABOUT WINNING BRANDS CORPORATION: Winning Brands Corporation is a manufacturer and marketer of eco-responsible solutions including its lead brand, Winning Colours Stain Remover. The innovative stain remover and multi-cleaner is targeted to become the world’s favourite stain removing solution because of its remarkable skin-friendliness, ease of use and versatility. CLEAN1 is Winning Brands’ low-foam cleaner ideal for pressure washers, carpet cleaning machines and certain hard surface applications. TrackMoist Dust Suppressant is gaining fans in all sectors of motorsports for its ability to dramatically conserve water and improve track performance. Additional brands include KIND Laundry Products, SMART Wet Cleaning Solutions and ReGUARD-4 bunker gear cleaners for fire fighters.

Winning Brands Chooses Indianapolis for First Launch into Convenience Stores Winning Colours Stain Remover Targets Greater Indianapolis for Initial Wave of 100 C-Stores
(June 12, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (OTC: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer and marketer of advanced eco cleaning solutions, announced today that the race was on to implement its new marketing program called “The Local 100”. The aggressive program identifies specific U.S. urban areas in which Winning Brands intends to establish intense local product placement for its breakthrough stain removing solution called Winning Colours Stain Remover. The “Local 100” method focuses on attaining 100 points of sale over any specified 6 week period in an urban market. Indianapolis is the first target market for the program. July 31st is the date set by which to have Winning Colours Stain Remover available in 100 stores in greater Indianapolis.
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner explains the context - “The Local 100 program is designed to create ‘hot zones’ where Winning Colours Stain Remover can gain traction through sheer exposure. We are focusing on the convenience store category in our ‘Local 100’ programs for several reasons. Firstly, there are nearly 140,000 such outlets in America today; in other words, they are everywhere. Secondly, within this group, there is a healthy variety of suitable field teams with whom to develop custom fulfillment arrangements. Thirdly, a higher than average proportion of convenience stores are independently owned. This lets the pace of our progress match our own initiative because convenience stores can react faster than conventional retail chains for such a program.”
Winning Colours Stain Remover has come to the attention of industry watchers because of Winning Brands’ plan to create the world’s favourite stain removing solution. Winning Brands Senior Vice-President, Lorne Kelly, remarks “Customers have become quite enthusiastic about Winning Colours Stain Remover, but we are business realists. Landing on the store shelves across the country is what we need to accomplish as the business method. Then those hot zones can emerge and distribution consolidates into regions. What we must achieve is that Winning Colours Stain Remover is known across America, used across America and becomes its favourite stain removing product. We want to reach the point that people will connect us to the simple but powerful premise – ‘Got Stains? Try this!’ Our determination is fuelled by the testimonials we receive. Winning Colours is terrific for the millions of stains that happen every day.”
The first Local 100 program will feature custom designed Winning Colours Stain Remover 12-pack displays that fit easily on counters. The display packs contain pock-sized 4 oz bottles that fit into purses, auto glove compartments, tool kits, kitchen drawers, and many situations where space is limited or portability matters. The Manufacturer’s Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for the mini-bottle of concentrate is $3.99 Winning Colours is known to be highly dilutable as a multi-cleaner. The 4oz bottle can yield between 40-80 ounces of multi-cleaner by mixing with plain water or can be used full strength for stain shots. At the end of July Winning Brands will add the names, addresses and photographs of each of its 100 new Indianapolis outlets to the Winning Brands’ Store Locator page at www.WinningBrands.ca
Mr. Lehner concludes, “The bottom line is that Winning Colours Stain Remover is a universal product. Few products on the market have as many ways in which to be distributed as Winning Colours. This is an example of that fact. We can grow categories; home improvement, grocery, convenience stores, office supply stores, pet stores, wine stores - there are as many ideas as there are stains.”

Winning Colours® Phenomenon Continues as 1000 Stores Added to Winning Brands Distribution Distribution America Member House Hasson Places Opening Order
(February 24, 2009) Knoxville, Tennessee - The phrase "paying your dues" has special meaning at Winning Brands Corporation these days (Pink Sheets: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU) as 3 years of patient market development seems to be yielding "sudden" stardom. The company's Winning Colours Stain Remover brand is turning into a consumer products rock star as it gains fans amongst the grass roots in U.S. consumer markets despite the fact that it has been hard to find for most American customers, causing them to go to great lengths to buy it. Distribution America member House Hasson of Knoxville, Tennessee www.househasson.com this week acquired distribution rights to reach its retailer customer base of over 1,000 stores and today placed its opening order. This follows on the heels of yesterday's confirmation that the Orgill Distribution buying show has yielded a crop of new accounts as far flung as Hawaii
Winning Colours was developed in Canada as an eco-responsible alternative to conventional solvents but has become popular amongst die hard customers because of its versatility to clean up so many different kinds of drips, drops and disasters. Winning Colours is well known in Canada because it was eventually listed by that country's largest retailers including Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and others. Now it is getting some high level American attention too and that's starting to translate into store doors.
Winning Brands Senior Vice President Lorne Kelly who is Winning Brands' prime contact for U.S. sales of Winning Colours Stain Remover is taking this "sudden" stardom in stride. "The parallels to Hollywood are striking. One day nobody has heard of you and then all of a sudden you're on the A-list" says Kelly. "Just as in Hollywood however, it's really a story of a long journey to get your first break and be discovered. But we're not going to let success go to our heads; we've been grounded in hard work so long that we're hard-wired that way now. The other factor is that we have terrific new colleagues joining the cast. Key Account Manager C.E. Norman, of North Carolina, is a case in point. When House Hasson sees that someone of C.E.'s calibre is part of the production, then it's more reasonable for them to make the commitment. House Hasson is extremely service oriented - so it matters to them who is involved." Kelly adds.
What is Winning Brands' view of its future? That's where Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner jumps in to ensure there is no exaggeration. Lehner is known amongst his peers in the public equity markets as preferring caution to promotion in public comments about his company. "These are still early days and we still have obstacles ahead of us. But our business model is so simple that it just might work. You can boil it down to an equation - design the company so that good profit can come from a select few superstar products that are phased into massive distribution that generates economies of scale in production with as few people as necessary to manage it all to keep costs under control. That's it in a nutshell. Cost control is vital too. We don't want any fat. We need to be able to deliver to the nation's top retailers products that are terrific value for what they do. If we just keep pounding away remembering these principles then we are likely to succeed. That's what will matter most to shareholders - verifiable, statistically projectable profit that makes the company valuable by being strong. Until then, it's speculative."
Winning Brands Corporation manufactures Winning Colours Stain Remover for consumer and commercial use as an environmental supplement to traditional solvents and cleaners. Large scale production takes place at the Grand Rapids Michigan facility of Surefil, LLC to augment Winning Brands' Canadian production. Winning Colours is gaining popularity for its unusual gentleness to skin and delicate surfaces while still being a powerful and versatile stain remover. Winning Brands' full product range includes a variety of advanced cleaning solutions, such as its non-toxic SMART™ Wet Cleaning liquids (alternative to perchloroethylene used in dry cleaning), KIND™ Laundry Products and CLEAN1™ - the first choice in outdoor cleaning. The company's mission is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives. The initial focus is on cleaning products.
Winning Colours Stain Remover gains access to an additional 1,000 retailers through Distribution America partner House Hasson.
Winning Colours is gaining popularity as it is discovered by Americans across the country.

Winning Brands Registration with U.S. Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES)
Leading Points Group and Winning Brands Commence Alliance
Feb 5, 2009 - Barrie, Ontario - Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD, Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.ca and Leading Points Corporation www.LeadingPoints.com announce the commencement of their cooperation to acquaint U.S. military personnel with products manufactured by Winning Brands.
An agreement between Winning Brands and Leading Points has been executed by which Leading Points will be authorized to represent Winning Brands in placing products on the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) Source List, the Navy Exchange Service Command (NEX COM) Source List, the Coast Guard Exchange System (CGES) Source List, and the Marine Corps Exchange System (MCX) Source List amongst other activities in the nature of military procurement. The combined market reach of the Exchange stores exceeds 30 million people.
Unlike conventional representation arrangements which are primarily sales oriented, Winning Brands and Leading Points’ cooperation is focused on identifying opportunities for Winning Brands to assist the United States government to reduce costs and/or improve the performance and value associated with government consumption of products in the categories that apply to Winning Brands through production, research and development.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, has set out the mission this way: “...delivering value and performance that will make procurement personnel proud, leave the consuming military consumers satisfied and our shareholders gratified that their confidence in Winning Brands Corporation is well placed. Let us also set a new standard of high regard for the honour that the opportunity to supply the U.S. government should represent. There are too many individuals and companies who think of supplying goods and services to government as an opportunity to pad. Instead, let’s internalize into our corporate culture that it is a matter of civic duty to be efficient in the value that we deliver to the United States government.”
Lieutenant Colonel Kevin T. K. Sullivan (Ret.), President of Leading Points, and Thomas Graham, Manager, Winning Brands’ U.S. Government Procurement Office, are the operational personnel responsible for implementation of the accord.
Leading Points and Winning Brands are particularly well suited for the implementation of ties with military organizations because of their mutual desire to deliver a new era of service and efficiency to government procurement outcomes. In Sullivan’s words, the effect of success in this mission will be beneficial to all concerned. “We’re enthusiastic about these products” said Sullivan, “they’re the right product at the right time.”
Graham adds, “As a past military man, I can think of nothing better than to be a part of the process that delivers to our servicemen and servicewomen the outstanding products that Winning Brands has to offer - in addition to making them available to all government employees as we move forward.”
Winning Brands production takes place at the Grand Rapids, Michigan facility of Surefil LLC and at the facilities of Winning Brands’ subsidiary Niagara Mist Marketing Limited in St. Catharines, Ontario. Winning Brands’ goal is to replace hazardous chemicals in widespread use with safer alternatives, with an initial emphasis on cleaning products. Its leading brands currently include Winning Colours Stain Remover, known for its versatility, power and skin friendliness as an alternative to conventional solvents, SMART™ Wet Cleaning Solutions used in professional garment care to reduce or eliminate the need for Perchloroethylene in conventional dry cleaning, KIND™ Laundry Products for domestic garment care through professional grade performance and industrial & special sector cleaning with CLEAN1™ spray and concentrates.

Winning Brands has recently placed Winning Colours Stain Remover in some gasoline convenience stores in the USA in the Indianapolis and Cleveland area, where the program is still being fine tuned to develop the right mix of elements, such as display consistency, personnel familiarity, etc. "The fact that additional gasoline stations are joining us at the same time in New Zealand will strengthen our analytics and lead to comparative statistics for good support programs. Long term success has a lot to do with coordinating the elements into a good system," Mr. Lehner concludes.
The first Mobil outlet in New Zealand is located at 286 Puhinui Road, Papatoetoe, Auckland - a city of approximately 1.4 million on the country's North Island. This location and others in New Zealand will be added to Winning Brands' store locator function for consumers.

WNBD NEWS JUST OUT!!! Winning Colours Stain Remover Listed by O'Leary Paints

BARRIE, Ontario, Oct 01, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), manufacturer of eco-responsible cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, announced today that Michigan based O'Leary Paints is adding Winning Colours to its stores effective immediately. This listing arises from business development planning between Winning Brands and its newest distributor, Lancaster. The collaboration is generating a new wave of interest and awareness of Winning Colours Stain Remover amongst paint retailers in the USA. "We are impressed with the motivation and effectiveness of Lancaster operations," remarks Eric Lehner, Winning Brands' CEO, adding, "It has been a pleasure to get to know the Lancaster sales team. It really feels like word-of-mouth about this terrific new product is gaining speed with Lancaster. The O'Leary listing is only the most recent development in a steady stream of new retail outlets that we have been setting-up together since our September product training conference at Lancaster. "
Winning Colours is gaining fans in the USA because of the convenience of its unique "dual personality" to serve as either as a full- strength stain remover for a wide range of messes including paint, or as a highly economical general purpose multi-cleaner through dilution with plain water. The unusual kindness to skin and delicate surfaces of Winning Colours Stain Remover is increasingly making it a first choice to reach for within a widening circle of paint retailers, convenience stores, marinas, wine retailers and other settings where stain solutions are required.

NEWS OUT!!!Winning Brands Keeps Growing in Australia PR Newswire "US Press Releases "
BARRIE, Ontario , Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- North America's Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.ca (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), manufacturer of Winning Colours Stain Remover, has now completed the first stage of its plan to become Australia's favourite stain removing product by achieving additional listings in the grocery banner IGA within the southeastern State of Victoria . This development, for the first time, provides Winning Brands with retail partners in all three eastern states of Australia , home to the cities of Brisbane , Sydney and Melbourne (whose U.S. sister city is Boston ). The additional IGA listings in Victoria , which have been receiving inventory and training over the past few days, join select stores in the Mitre-10 group www.Mitre10.com.au, Inspirations (3D Paint and Colour) http://inspirationspaint.com.au/, Coco's Fresh Food Markets and various independents.
Winning Brands Ambassador to Australia , Kori Walsh , puts the development in context - "We are hoping to provide consumers with this fantastic, versatile, eco-responsible product throughout all of Australia within the next year. In-store demonstrations have been exposing us to people who purchased Winning Colours and were enquiring where friends and relatives can get more. We have only just begun 'in the big picture' but with the positive response from Australians already using Winning Colours, I am confident we will become a new favourite for Australia ."
Winning Colours order volume from the South Pacific has been increasing as systematically as the company's approach to its market development. Whereas the first shipment to Australia was a single skid, and subsequently more, the most recent refill order for the region has reached 10 times that original size. With the current shipment to Australia and New Zealand now reaching thousands of units for consumers who are demonstrating an early interest in repeat purchases, Winning Brands has begun development of its first commercial for Australian TV.

2ND PR TODAY!!! Boost for Winning Brands in Pennsylvania Trader Horn Stores places opening order for Winning Colours Stain Remover for all stores
* Press Release * Source: Winning Brands Corporation * On Friday October 2, 2009, 2:09 pm EDT
o Buzz up! 0 o Print
BARRIE, Ontario, Oct. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt; WMU), manufacturer of eco-responsible cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, announced today that Pennsylvania based Trader Horn Stores www.traderhornstores.com has placed an opening order to carry both standard sizes of Winning Colours Stain Remover in all 10 locations effective immediately.
The listing demonstrates the versatility of Winning Colours Stain Remover to fit a variety of store types. The usefulness of Winning Colours across the full spectrum of lifestyles makes it a perfect fit for a general merchandise retailer, including budget conscious settings. This is because Winning Colours is sold as a concentrate that can be used full strength for stains or diluted with water to create a super-affordable multi-cleaner for general purpose use. Trader Horn stores provide rural consumers with a low overhead, no frills inventory of plumbing, hardware, electrical, automotive supplies, craft supplies, paint, sporting goods, lawn and garden supplies, small appliances, pet and cleaning supplies, housewares, snacks, popular food items and pop.
Winning Brands Senior Vice President, Lorne Kelly, comments on how the least likely pockets of interest can be the most surprising in uptake, reinforcing Winning Brands' goal that Winning Colours Stain Remover becomes a household name in America: "I was in Cleveland yesterday performing a field audit of our convenience store placements. Some of these are very basic settings, yet I personally had evidence of an entire box of 12 bottles being sold-out in days, in more than one location. Stains, in particular, are unwelcome in all households. No one likes them. It's terrific that Trader Horn Stores understands this about its customers and wants the best for them. We have the most convenient solution available. It's that simple."

There are soooo many Irons in the fire..But in my own opinion... I think people are watching for the "Big/Great News" (ie: U.S. National Retailer, Large army/govt order, or Financials)they each have yet to be released ..that is what many are waiting for in my opinion and it could happen any day now:)I also think we now have many more eyes watching this so if it does go it can go very quickly!! Winning Brands Boosts Sales Force Illinois based ISK Industries to utilize 30-person team to expand reach of Winning Colours Stain Remover (July 24, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.ca (Pink Sheets: WNBD) (Frankfurt: WMU.F), manufacturer of Canadian cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover is augmenting its U.S. retail account sales force with the immediate appointment of Illinois based manufacturer’s sales agency ISK Industries www.isk-industries.com.ISK already services Sears/K-Mart, Target, Menards, Meijer’s, and Ace Hardware corporate amongst others. The move reinforces Winning Brands’ intention to have a mix of retail chains and independent local stores carrying its eco-responsible Winning Colours Stain Remover coast to coast in the USA. Winning Colours has been increasingly described as a brand to watch as tipping point developments lift Winning Colours to national brand stature.
ISK President Don Cashmore explains what his group intends to do for Winning Brands; “We are very strong in the mix concept. Yes, we reach professional outlets and distributors, but we also already have working relationships with retail chains. Winning Colours Stain Remover deserves to be in U.S. chains – there’s no doubt about it. We are going to boost their contact management in this regard to support what they are already working on by themselves and with others. Our focus on the Midwest doesn’t stop us from working with national accounts either. The Midwest is our backyard where there is a special concentration. We’re accustomed to being successful in what we do and we recognize winners when we see them. Winning Colours Stain Remover is going to be a success story for us to talk about. That’s the way we see it”.

Winning Brands Surpasses 100 Stores in Australia - Better Homes and Gardens is first media partner -
* Press Release * Source: Winning Brands Corporation * On 11:30 am EDT, Wednesday October 14, 2009
o Buzz up! 0 o Print
BARRIE, Ontario, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.ca (Pink Sheets: WNBD - News; Frankfurt: WMU - News), manufacturer of popular new cleaning solution Winning Colours Stain Remover, has surpassed the 100 store mark amongst Australian retailers for the first time, representing growth ahead of schedule. The 100th store, a Mitre-10 location in the State of Queensland, represents a tipping point because it makes the implementation of television broadcast advertising feasible. The first television media partner is Better Homes and Gardens TV - one of the highest rated programs in the country on Friday evenings. The initial Winning Colours advertising will be regional, during the national broadcast. http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/better-homes-gardens
Winning Brands Ambassador to Australia, Kori Walsh, is impressed that even experienced hardware retailers with large product assortments, take note of the unique performance characteristics of Winning Colours Stain Remover. "Store number 100 was very impressed after the demonstration and learning about Winning Colours, but was amazed when I cleaned tar off their floor that was sitting there for days. Winning Colours will be on television starting Friday nights starting in mid-November," remarks Ms. Walsh. Better Homes and Gardens Magazine is the companion print media partner for the launch of Winning Colours Stain Remover in Australia. Winning Colours' print advertising commences with the Christmas issue, which is printed in November.
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner explains the significance of the development: "If one store likes a new product, it might be a fluke. Two stores, maybe you're lucky. Reaching 100 stores is much more than a pattern - it is proven momentum. Canada, Australia and New Zealand have already between them converted thousands of consumers from merely trying Winning Colours for the first time into regular consumers. America will follow this pattern because there is no fundamental difference between U.S. consumers and Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders in this category of product. Widespread adoption in the U.S. will have a profound impact on the company's destiny and looks increasingly inevitable."

NEWS JUST OUT!!! First TrackMoist Delivery to Europe by Winning Brands - 2010 Trial Partnership Begins in England -
Press Release Source: Winning Brands Corporation On 5:00 am EST, Tuesday November 3, 2009 Buzz up! 0 Print.Companies:Winning BrandsWinning Brands Corp BARRIE, Ontario, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD - News; Frankfurt: WMU - News) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of popular new TrackMoist performance enhancer and dust suppressant for dirt racetracks, has entered into a partnership with Speedway Prep for trials of TrackMoist to commence in the U.K., following trials in the USA which have already been successful.
Related Quotes Symbol Price Change WMU.F 0.0060 +0.0030
Initial inventory for testing has now arrived in the U.K. The trials will commence at Elite and Premier League speedway events in spring 2010. If successful, Speedway Prep sees a considerable UK and European wide market for TrackMoist within speedway racing - a popular and fast growing sport with around 2,000 league events each year attracting extensive television audiences on Sky Sports. http://www.skysports.com/opinion/0,25219,12276,00.html Other dirt track racing such as motocross could also benefit from successful trials with TrackMoist, A Speedway Prep website will be launched prior to the start of the race season.
Kelvin Tatum, senior partner at Speedway Prep is a former England Speedway captain and three-time world champion, who raced for 23 years before retiring in 2005. He is now Sky Sports' number one speedway pundit and a coach for young, upcoming speedway riders. When asked why his company has chosen to partner with Winning Brands to trial TrackMoist, Kelvin said: "Speedway racing has been my passion for many years, and as someone who has been involved both in front of the cameras as a championship rider and television commentator and behind the scenes as a coach and technical consultant, I am always aware of how fundamentally important the preparation of the track surface is to a successful speedway event. A well prepared track not only provides for more exciting and skilful racing but also ensures that riders' safety is not compromised by substandard conditions and ensures that dust does not obscure vision for both riders and spectators, which has become a particular issue for many European speedway events in recent years. I am therefore very excited to be involved in trialling TrackMoist, which if successful will enhance the quality of European speedway racing whilst increasing safety for riders and reducing water usage and maintenance and preparation costs for event organisers."
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner points out the reason for the announcement at this time - "With the debut of TrackMoist at the Performance Industry Tradeshow in Orlando, Florida this December, including thousands of attendees internationally, we can provide Speedway Prep with a good basis to begin organizing European interest that will be stimulated by the show by letting others know now of Speedway Prep's preparation to provide service in Europe."
TrackMoist is a concentrate that is added to the water tanks of trucks used to spray dirt race tracks. It is typically sold in 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers. They mix to create 45,000 gallons of treated water and 225,000 gallons, respectively. It has been reported that water consumption is reduced by up to 50% in such applications. Tracks typically consume tens of thousands of gallons of untreated water per weekend. Additional savings arise from reduced fuel consumption, equipment wear and personnel costs. The Manufacturer's Suggest Retail Price (MSRP) for 1 gallon is $109. 5 gallons is $475.

prnewswire Winning Brands Begins Operational Presence in Korea Winning Colours South Korea Appointment
* Press Release * Source: Winning Brands Corporation * On 9:10 am EST, Thursday November 5, 2009
o Buzz up! 0 o Print
BARRIE, Ontario, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD - News; Frankfurt: WMU - News) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of stain removing sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, has taken its first step to doing business in the Republic of South Korea with the launch of the first of several planned on-line internet discussion blogs with Korean consumers http://kr.blog.yahoo.com/long3624/1003.html as well as the appointment of Winning Brands Ambassadors to South Korea, Mr. Joel Haley and his wife Sojung. The blogs will foster conversation amongst Korean consumers and will be updated frequently to reflect developments of the Winning Colours launch in Korea. Distribution of initial inventory for market tests will commence by January 2010. Initial product placement will include a variety of store types that have already been identified. The stores will receive Korean labeled bottles with the name 1000+, as Winning Colours is known in non-English markets internationally. The Korean market will receive the same attention and focus as Australia and New Zealand have received in the South Pacific - two markets that are already gaining traction as Winning Colours gains new fans in the region. PR Newswire - Winning Brands Opens in Korea ...
Joel Haley is originally from Texas but has lived in South Korea for 17 years, including enlisted service with the U.S. military with engagements in Iraq and Afghanistan and subsequent provision of aviation maintenance contracting to the military. "I have a longstanding personal interest in international trade, including commodities of various kinds. Based on my considerable research I am impressed with the opportunity for Winning Colours Stain Remover in Korea," Mr. Haley remarks. His wife, Sojung, was raised in the City of Wonju in South Korea. She is managing the on-line discussion with Korean consumers. Together, they will coordinate the development of distribution and retailing partnerships for Winning Colours from Korea itself, full time, effective immediately. "I agree with Joel about the potential here. South Korean consumers are increasingly interested in the best possible cleaning results and are open to the arrival of new brands, particularly from North America. I have personally experienced how gentle Winning Colours Stain Remover is to my skin - Koreans will love this benefit. I look forward to introducing my country to the next generation of cleaning power for the whole home - in a single bottle!" says Mrs. Haley.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, points out why the development is a logical extension of Winning Colours' growth in the Asia/Pacific region. "Winning Colours Stain Remover is highly concentrated, and therefore delivers the necessary value to make shipping to any major market feasible. South Korea, with nearly 50 million inhabitants, efficient communications infrastructure and an impressive economy is a desirable place for new exposure only a few hundred miles from Beijing, capital of China. This will provide important additional Asian experience to Winning Brands and help us to develop momentum here. With such a versatile cleaning product as Winning Colours/1000+, a wide range of consumers in Korea will find their own favourite uses and share their findings with friends and family. Word will continue to spread. Winning Colours/1000+ is a world class product."
Winning Colours Stain Remover is already listed by Canada's national retailers (where it was developed) and is gaining ground in the USA because of its versatility in dealing with drips, drops and disasters of all kinds. Winning Colours is making news in key consumer sectors where stains occur continuously and easy clean-up is important. The paint sector, the wine sector and others have shown strong interest in the unusual property of Winning Colours Stain Remover to be gentle on skin and delicate surfaces while still performing with the strength expected of harsher traditional stain removers. The fact that Winning Colours converts even oil based messes into a simple clean-up with plain water has addressed consumers' increasing desire for convenience in all matters.

--New retailer listings accelerate for Winning Brands
BARRIE, Ontario, Nov 10, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, has surpassed its milestone of 4,000 retailers at which Winning Colours can be purchased. Today's planned additions to the company's on-line Store Locator http://www.winningbrandscorporation.com/store_locator.htm will reveal the growth of the manufacturer's retail network by over 100 stores in recent weeks, taking Winning Brands within sight of the firm's initial operations target of 5,000 points of sale. The most recent store additions include new retailers in exactly 107 different U.S. cities over 29 states. Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, notes that the diversity of these listings bodes well for the company. "It is significant that there are owners/managers in new stores saying 'yes' virtually every day now to the idea of adding Winning Colours Stain Remover to their product mix. It is easy to underestimate this business achievement. We are in the midst of an economic climate that has become so severe that most stores are reluctant to take any new initiatives. Everywhere we look, people are cutting back, yet store owners are joining our retailer family in growing numbers - sometimes even several new stores within a single day. The widespread nature of the interest and support of this terrific multi-cleaning product helps make us resilient by diversifying our customer base across such a large number of independent businesses. As we come closer to the 5,000 mark, we will increase product sell-through by ramping up marketing. You have to have product in place for consumers to buy conveniently before widespread advertising makes sense. A new brand is emerging in the marketplace - you can't get more real than product on the shelf. It's happening before our eyes," remarks Mr. Lehner.
Winning Brands Senior VP Lorne Kelly points out that U.S. national retailers are particularly affected by the current business atmosphere of caution toward new products: "They are being very conservative right now. But Winning Colours Stain Remover is known to several candidate national chains now. They are watching with interest to see whether Winning Colours has traction and will continue to get stronger - all of which brings us closer to national relationships as well. There will be a leader amongst them too, taking the first step, paving the way for others. When that leader emerges, they will receive a positive response from consumers too," says Mr. Kelly
Winning Colours has already secured national retail partnerships in Canada (where the advanced cleaning solution was developed) including Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Zellers. The fact that Winning Colours Stain Remover is newer to the USA has not prevented early U.S. product fans from posting a wide range of creative and difficult stain scenarios at YouTube creating a growing community- http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Winning+Colours+Stain+Remover&search _type=&aq=f

MEMO FROM ERIC(CEO)
Hello Moderator Team – FYI
From: Eric Lehner Sent: November-12-09 3:38 PM To: Shareholder X Cc: Paul Knopick Subject: RE: Shareholder Question: Revenue vis Store Count
Hello Mr. XXXXXX,
Thank you for the opportunity to explain what may appear to be a paradox.
Winning Brands has an attractive business model. We supply a product that can be sold widely throughout the community (ie many store types) because of its usefulness across so many lifestyles and because of its relative affordability (most people can come up with $9.95 for something they want). However, for this model to be fully operational, two conditions must first be satisfied – the widespread availability of the product (ie many stores) as well as a high rate of purchase from those stores by consumers (ie product purchased daily). It takes a high volume of transactions of a few dollars per bottle to add up to millions of dollars. Fortunately, in our category of products, millions of people are purchasing something every day, or at least having an unsatisfied need every day. Millions of stains occur every single day. Many are left unattended due to the lack of a familiar, satisfactory, easy solution.
For the past 3 years, Winning Brands has been striving from the ground-up to determine which of its products would be its lead product, and then to secure store listings for it. We, and our lead product Winning Colours Stain Remover, were not known by retailers. It was very difficult to get into any stores. You may be surprised just how hard it was and the gruelling effort required. This is typical of any “quirky” new brand that comes out of nowhere with a proposition that is out of the ordinary. Yet it is those quirky brands that stand the best chance to become iconic favourites over time because they have genuine personality, rather than being massaged into just another “me too” line extension of established brands. In the computer world, the early unusual approach has evolved into a style leader. There are many other examples. That is why respected larger manufacturers buy new brands – it is less costly to buy a proven winner than to try unsuccessfully to create a portfolio from scratch because of the failure rate of new product attempts.
Gradually, we were able to add some Canadian retailers of significance for Winning Colours Stain Remover and are now in discussions with U.S. significant retailers, some being highly advanced. Therefore, the material growth of store count for Winning Colours Stain Remover has only happened very recently – and remember, store count is only the first part of our model. The second part is to generate enquiries by consumers and lift sales within the stores to leverage this growing geographic footprint of stores that carry Winning Colours. We need to convert the sales rate from a bottle per week (or less) per store, in some cases, into a bottle per day per store, and then into several bottles per day per store. It is during this implementation of this second part of the business model that the sales growth of the company will make itself felt in dollar terms. The good news is that we are now seeing an increasing number of stores moving up from early low turnover counts. This is happening because of personal satisfaction by many consumers and their eventual re-purchase, word-of-mouth by those satisfied customers to friends and family, local advertising in some places and in-store audits by our field personnel to provide retailer staff training and display touch-ups. In the early days, we considered ourselves fortunate if a store sold 7 bottles in a week. Now, the most advanced store (in terms of merchandising and training) has reached 56 bottles per week, although that varies with the location of the bottles in the store. There are now many stores that sell more than a bottle per day.
In summary – 4,000 stores purchasing a case of product (12 bottles) once may generate approximately $200,000. But the same 4,000 stores supported to increase sell-through to a bottle per day, for this one product, in the one size translates to nearly $6 Million dollars. 10,000 stores selling a couple of bottles per day would generate $30 Million and so on. I have been reliable from the outset of us being a public company to speak realistically about things. I have always been plain spoken about the challenge of initial operations. Any realistic assessment will reveal that we are still, by and large, unknown to the vast majority of investors and consumers both. This is what makes Winning Brands so attractive in my opinion. This is the opportunity for us as current owners – the current shareholders and staff (who are also shareholders). We are just barely emerging from relative obscurity with many predictive indicators that suggest that our up-side outweighs the down-side risks; particularly because we have survived the initial 3 years that usually take the toll on new junior public companies, and because your management and staff are so clearly focused on their mission. Rarely is there a company with so much verifiable linear progress toward a stated goal, that has such massive potential, with precedents to support it. This is why we have more “longs” than most of our peers amongst junior public companies. Our longs are not “in love” in the sense that their judgment is impaired, but instead they love the fact that here is a company whose progress is demonstrated right before their eyes concretely through pictures of products on the shelf. They appreciate that we have an accountable management team that understands that it is an honour and privilege to serve the interests of these stockholders. Your management and staff also understand that we must accomplish something truly meaningful for these stockholders in order to earn their respect and to earn a reputation of being a cut above the rest.
Accordingly, the current sales figure being less than a million (and don’t worry it is higher than $200K) is nonetheless real, unexaggerated, verified through listing of business partners by names, address and telephone numbers – all working toward an outcome that requires tenacity and creativity to achieve. We have plenty of these qualities at the headquarters of Winning Colours Stain Remover, the emerging favourite stain removing product - and home to other fine products that even earlier in their life cycle. We have limitless reserves of tenacity and creativity. The marketplace has not even seen a fraction of what we are capable of.
I am thrilled to come to work each morning because we are building a business success story that will be worthy of study in the future. Our shareholders are in part the authors of this success.
Thank you again for your interest in Winning Brands and your kind support.
Eric Lehner, CEO
WinningBrands.ca
P.S. I will share this with the board moderators in fairness to other shareholders, with your name removed.
From: Shareholder X Sent: November-12-09 2:20 PM To: Eric Lehner Subject:
Hello Eric,
Congrats on reaching the 4000 store milestone! I think this company has come a long ways and you are going a terrific job. I have one question, in spite of having 4000+ stores selling winning colours now, how come each time there is a Form D filed the revenue listed on there is still under 1,000,000. Having so many retail outlets and still doing revenue under 1,000,000 just does not make sense. Would you be kind enough to share you thoughts on this!
Thanks,

Winning Colours Stain Remover Surpasses 4,000 Stores New retailer listings accelerate for Winning Brands
(November 10, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD, Frankfurt: WMU.F) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, has surpassed its milestone of 4,000 retailers at which Winning Colours can be purchased. Today’s planned additions to the company’s on-line Store Locator http://www.winningbrandscorporation.com/store_locator.htm will reveal the growth of the manufacturer’s retail network by over 100 stores in recent weeks, taking Winning Brands within sight of the firm’s initial operations target of 5,000 points of sale. The most recent store additions include new retailers in exactly 107 different U.S. cities over 29 states.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, notes that the diversity of these listings bodes well for the company. “It is significant that there are owners/managers in new stores saying ‘yes’ virtually every day now to the idea of adding Winning Colours Stain Remover to their product mix. It is easy to underestimate this business achievement. We are in the midst of an economic climate that has become so severe that most stores are reluctant to take any new initiatives. Everywhere we look, people are cutting back, yet store owners are joining our retailer family in growing numbers – sometimes even several new stores within a single day. The widespread nature of the interest and support of this terrific multi-cleaning product helps make us resilient by diversifying our customer base across such a large number of independent businesses. As we come closer to the 5,000 mark, we will increase product sell-through by ramping up marketing. You have to have product in place for consumers to buy conveniently before widespread advertising makes sense. A new brand is emerging in the marketplace – you can’t get more real than product on the shelf. It’s happening before our eyes.” remarks Mr. Lehner.
Winning Brands Senior VP Lorne Kelly points out that U.S. national retailers are particularly affected by the current business atmosphere of caution toward new products: “They are being very conservative right now. But Winning Colours Stain Remover is known to several candidate national chains now. They are watching with interest to see whether Winning Colours has traction and will continue to get stronger – all of which brings us closer to national relationships as well. There will be a leader amongst them too, taking the first step, paving the way for others. When that leader emerges, they will receive a positive response from consumers too.” says Mr. Kelly
Winning Colours has already secured national retail partnerships in Canada (where the advanced cleaning solution was developed) including Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Zellers. The fact that Winning Colours Stain Remover is newer to the USA has not prevented early U.S. product fans from posting a wide range of creative and difficult stain scenarios at YouTube creating a growing community - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Winning+Colours+Stain+Remover&search _type=&aq=f

Racetracks Accelerate Use of TrackMoist From Winning Brands
--- Improved track performance and reduced water consumption with TrackMoist is hot discussion topic at Performance Racing Industry Tradeshow -
BARRIE, Ontario, Dec 14, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), www.WinningBrands.ca manufacturer of new TrackMoist performance enhancer and dust suppressant for dirt racetracks forecasts tens of millions of gallons in reduced water consumption by dirt race track operators during the 2010 racing season because of the acceleration in their use of TrackMoist track treatment. TrackMoist had previously been in various stages of testing to ensure that it would meet real world operating conditions but was formally unveiled at the Performance Racing Industry Tradeshow in Orlando, Florida Dec 10-12, 2009. A large number of new track partners across the USA are placing opening orders or getting involved in their own testing. Don "Herbie" Williams, product specialist and distribution coordinator for Winning Brands' TrackMoist, reports that a wide range of tracks will begin using TrackMoist as soon as possible, with organizers of key race series also considering a formal endorsement for the 2010 season. "Frequently over the 3 day show, our booth would be filled with guests asking questions about how to provide an improved experience for their thousands of paying spectators. The most common response to TrackMoist's performance characteristics was 'WOW!'" Mr. Williams says. A partial list of new track partners illustrates the diversity of interest, including Volousia Speedway in Florida, Eriez Speedway and Selinsgrove Speedway in Pennsylvania, Heartland Motorsports Park in Kansas, Dirt Devil Speedway and Nelson Ledges Road Course (for associated dirt service roads and facilities) in Ohio, Miami County Speedway in Indiana, Dublin 441 Speedway in Georgia and facilities in Rochester, NY. Mr. Williams added: "The most satisfying thing of all was that many of my 2009 TrackMoist testing customers from the U. S. came to the TrackMoist booth specifically to bring new customers to me because they had used TrackMoist and they knew how well it performed."
The surging interest in TrackMoist is not confined to the United States. Perth Motorplex in Australia will begin use of TrackMoist as soon as initial TrackMoist inventory is delivered there, with strong interest from emerging partners in Brazil and Japan as well. Winning Brands recently announced 2010 trials with Speedway Prep in the UK as the starting point in Europe.
Winning Brands Senior VP, Lorne Kelly, estimates that TrackMoist may reach approximately 250 tracks during 2010 as a result of current discussions. "Track owners and promoters are expressing strong interest in what TrackMoist can do to enhance their track performance and control dust. We are definitely gaining momentum for TrackMoist because progress no longer depends on our own promotion exclusively - now the right people are starting to talk about TrackMoist amongst themselves," Mr. Kelly says. He adds, "These new motorsports relationships will also strongly benefit distribution of Winning Colours Stain Remover and CLEAN1 Spray. Both Winning Colours and CLEAN1 are absolutely perfect for people who work with engines and vehicle maintenance. The opportunities for Winning Colours and CLEAN1 in motorsports are terrific."
TrackMoist is a concentrate that is added to the water tanks of trucks used to spray dirt race tracks. It is typically sold in 1 gallon containers. 1 gallon of TrackMoist mixes with 45,000 gallons of plain water to produce the track treatment. It has been reported that water use can be reduced by up to 50% on dirt race tracks, yet deliver improved track characteristics. Dirt race tracks can each consume tens of thousands of gallons of water per weekend to keep the tracks wet. Financial savings to track operators arise from reduced water costs, reduced fuel consumption of water trucks, reduced equipment wear and lower associated personnel costs. Municipalities benefit from reduced water demand.
ABOUT WINNING BRANDS CORPORATION: Winning Brands Corporation is a manufacturer of advanced cleaning solutions, including Winning Colours Stain Remover alternative to conventional solvents. The innovative stain remover and multi-cleaner is much discussed on YouTube and targeted to become the world's favourite stain removing solution because of its remarkable skin-friendliness, versatility and economy when diluted with water as a multi-cleaner at home and industry.

NEWS-Winning Colours Stain Remover Reaches All 50 States
Significant Milestone for Winning Brands --
BARRIE, Ontario, Jan 08, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), creator of cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, reports that it has achieved a significant milestone - putting Winning Colours on store shelves in every state in America, including Hawaii and Alaska. More than 300 new retail outlets were added in recent days to Winning Brands' store locator at www.WinningBrands.ca, reflecting December listings growth despite the distraction to retailers of holidays and general weakness in the economy. Alaska, Delaware and Louisiana will be going live on the Store Locator in January to complete the company's Initial Operations Phase.
Once considered by industry watchers to be a long-shot in the crowded but massive cleaning products sector, Winning Colours continues to build enthusiasm amongst consumers and retailers who have discovered it, forming strong grass-roots support and goodwill for the brand. Winning Colours Stain Remover is gaining ardent fans because of its unusual characteristic to perform as strong as a solvent, yet be gentler than soap on skin and delicate surfaces. This combination results in special versatility to deal with an unprecedented range of drips, drops and disasters of various types. With thousands of consumers having used and enjoyed the product first-hand in Canada and the USA during 3 years of market testing, Winning Brands has gained the experience necessary to launch a U.S. national direct response television campaign (DRTV) commencing in the 2nd Qtr 2010, through award-winning Hawthorne Direct www.HawthorneDirect.com
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, puts the milestone into context: "It has been difficult - I'll be the first to admit it. Right up to the end of 2009 we've been up against plenty of obstacles, not only opportunities. For over 3 years we have faced and overcome every conceivable challenge that you'd expect an ambitious new venture of this type to encounter; but there is an upside. The formative period has revealed that Winning Brands is committed, resourceful and clear thinking. Those are terrific qualities for brand management to have. Combine this character with a world class product concept and great things can happen. Our shareholders have been no less visionary. They faced skepticism during the Initial Operations Phase, but recognized that Winning Colours Stain Remover, and our team, has above average potential to succeed. Now shareholders coast to coast are seeing things come together with their own eyes as new store listings advance steadily into their own communities. With boots on the ground in 50 states, we can deploy initiatives at the local level or operate national marketing initiatives. This development therefore represents the beginning of our stature as a national brand. It is a source of well deserved pride for all concerned," Mr. Lehner observes.

Breaking out from a 6 month descending channel, Winning Brands Corp.’s market has shown strength rushing past former resistance levels on above average volume. Could this be the start of a significant uptrend? Only time will tell. Analysis, in video format, follows.
Hi guys..How many penny stocks do you actually know about right NOW that are this close to hitting U.S. MASS MARKET PENETRATION and landing some major U.S. NATIONAL retailers. We all can ACTUALLY SEE IT UNFOLDING as the store locator ( http://www.winningbrandscorporation.com/store_locator.htm ) keeps filling up. Continuously more and more stores are added spreading out now into all 50 states. We can SEE that it ALREADY happened in Canada. I cant imagine how sick some of those that are unloading their shares in this .015 and lower PPS range may soon feel if this spikes up to .25+ with buyer speculation short term and if it gets into the dollar range within the next 12-36 months.(I have already been hearing some comments on IH of people regretting selling off too many of their WNBD shares too soon). Days of flipping this low may soon be over if higher PPS become more sustainable. Just hearing the NAME of a signed U.S. national retailer in an official PR could do this (which could happen anyday now..see highlights in posted PR)...I have seen it happen with several penny's in the past. BEST TIMES AHEAD Events from this PR should be coming up soon.
(December 4, 2009) Barrie, Ontario, Canada - Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD, Frankfurt: WMU.F) www.WinningBrands.ca, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, has appointed DRTV industry leader Hawthorne Direct www.hawthornedirect.com to manage the implementation of Winning Brands’ first-ever Direct Response Television Advertising. The addition of DRTV to Winning Brands’ U.S. launch strategy for Winning Colours Stain Remover is a major development in the company’s ambitions for the versatile cleaning solution because of the national cable network platform envisioned for the campaign. This will be the first time that Winning Colours Stain Remover advertising will be seen on TV by consumers across America. Preliminary plans call for Winning Colours Stain Remover direct response advertising to begin by the 1st week of May 2010. Production will take place at Los Angeles Center Studios www.lacenterstudios.com
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, explains the context: “We have now received in writing confirmation of our being an approved trading partner with our first major U.S. retailer with national reach. Pending the activation of this relationship, we will commence building an “As Seen on TV” stature for Winning Colours Stain Remover. It is well known that products which are active in the DRTV platform can be particularly successful in traditional retail because of the appeal for consumers of “celebrity” products and the convenience of purchasing them spontaneously in stores. Furthermore, the DRTV format permits advertising cost recovery to make our on-air presence sustainable. The bottom line is that 2010 is year in which Winning Colours Stain Remover will fully engage with the American consumer.”
Winning Colours has already secured national retail partnerships in Canada (where the advanced cleaning solution was developed) including Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Zellers. The fact that Winning Colours Stain Remover is newer to the USA has not prevented early U.S. product fans from posting a wide range of creative and difficult stain scenarios at YouTube creating a growing community - http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Winning+Colours+Stain+Remover&search _type=&aq=f

NEWS!! Winning Brands Expands Account Management for National Retailers
- California Appointment Sharpens Focus to Meet National Account Objectives -
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation http://www.winningbrands.com/ (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), manufacturer of cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover is augmenting its national account management capability with the appointment of Mr. Stephen Fantus to Key Account Management for Winning Colours. Mr. Fantus has spent most of the past decade with the WD-40 Company in various senior management positions. These include Director of Strategic National Accounts, Vice-President of Grocery Sales and Vice-President of Mass & Drug Sales. Other business experience includes Johnson & Johnson, Rayovac and Maxell. The appointment is effective immediately and is based in Southern California where Mr. Fantus resides. Key Account Management is a combination of business development and account maintenance
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner explains the implications for the company and the Winning Colours brand. "As far as we are concerned, Winning Colours Stain Remover is headed to become a household name in America. Winning Brands has demonstrated unusual clarity of purpose in its actions as an emerging enterprise. This realism includes the preparations necessary to do business with America's largest retailers, not merely desiring it. We already have arranged sufficient capacity to manufacture for the national retail demand curve. We have recently committed to launching national DRTV advertising in 2010, thus introducing Winning Colours Stain Remover to Americans coast-to-coast and building brand awareness. Now, with suitable operational management being assembled, we are arranging that the ensuing work with national retailers will be handled professionally and in accordance with industry norms. We are creating the conditions for success to be the natural outcome of our work. People who follow Winning Brands will not be surprised, yet people who are not familiar with the company may one day suddenly notice that we have arrived on the national scene 'out of nowhere,'" Mr. Lehner observes
Mr. Fantus adds, "My experience in a VP of Sales role servicing many of the USA's largest retailers will provide a solid foundation in working with Winning Brands Corporation. Additionally, I have been responsible for placement and management of products into multiple retail departments (hardware, household products, general merchandise, pet, etc.) and trade classes (grocery, mass merchandisers, drug, etc.). There is no doubt that this is a great match for my role at Winning Brands. I have made the career choice to focus on building success for an emerging brand. This is my next great challenge in life. I know what it is like for a product to become an American icon - and I love the feeling. Winning Colours Stain Remover has what it takes. I am going to help make it happen." Mr. Fantus' responsibilities will include assessment and coordination of existing Winning Brands national account activity in cooperation with Winning Brands' existing sales team

NEWS OUT!!! More Expansion Into the Americas for Winning Brands Puerto Rico, Caribbean and Mexico Get Boost prnewswire
Press Release Source: Winning Brands Corporation On Tuesday March 2, 2010, 3:41 pm EST
ORLANDO, Fla., March 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrandsCorporation.com creator of popular cleaning sensation, Winning Colours Stain Remover, gains momentum moving south of the United States with the addition of Puerto Rico to Winning Brands' retail markets for the first time. New Spanish language on-line demonstrations are paving the way for Hispanic consumers to connect with the breakthrough cleaning solution, now appearing on social media such as YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD9_foozkc8
Winning Colours Stain Remover was developed in Canada, where it is sold by that country's largest retailers including Walmart and Home Depot because Winning Colours has the remarkable environmental characteristic of being as strong as a solvent for stains of various kinds, but is gentler than soap on skin, delicate surfaces and in settings where harsh chemicals are undesirable. USA distributor Lancaster has recently taken the lead to increase Winning Colours' U.S. penetration and Southern Hemisphere development. The arrival of Winning Colours Stain Remover to Puerto Rico, as well as to new stores in the Bahamas and Mexico arise from Winning Brands' participation in Lancaster's "2010 Buying Extravaganza" show held in Orlando February 26-27th. Inventory deliveries to the new markets will be made at the end of March 2010, at which time the new locations will be listed on the Winning Brands' Store Locator http://www.winningbrandscorporation.com/store_locator.htm.
In the meantime, additional U.S. independent retailers continue to list the new product, with new accounts being signed-up at the Buying Extravaganza ranging from Brooklyn, New York, in the east to California in the west, Michigan in the north and Florida in the south. "There is no region of the USA where Winning Colours can't become America's favourite stain remover," remarks Winning Brands' Director of Product Training, Lorne Kelly. "It's America's most versatile cleaning solution – one look at YouTube makes that perfectly clear! Throughout the show in Orlando, recently listed U.S. retailers were coming to me with enthusiasm about their early experiences with Winning Colours. The product is selling well in their stores – their customers are reporting personal successes. That is the bottom line. It all boils down to consumers having their own 'moments of truth' with this terrific new product. People are discovering what Winning Colours can do for them. There's a groundswell – I can feel it," Mr. Kelly concludes. Lancaster reaches over 10,000 retail points of sale. The push is on by Winning Brands to gain a presence in thousands of U.S. stores over the coming year by various initiatives. Winning Brands recently announced its intention to launch its first Direct Response Television commercial (DRTV) on U.S. national cable in the 2nd Qtr of 2010 to boost U.S. consumer awareness and purchasing. The majority of Winning Colours Stain Remover purchased by Americans will be made in America by Winning Brands in Michigan.

Major NEWS out!!! Winning Brands Expands Convenience Store Operations Dramatically
NEW YORK, March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation http://www.winningbrands.com/ (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), manufacturer of cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, is ramping up distribution of Winning Colours to convenience stores dramatically in order to reach 20,000 of America's c-stores by means of a Direct Store Delivery System (DSD) and new affiliation with specialized c-store wholesalers.
Winning Brands Director of Product Training, Lorne Kelly, commences training of the company's newly appointed c-store co-ordinator, Jay Udell, March 21st, to prepare for the first Winning Colours DSD Driver Workshop to be held in April. Mr. Udell is based in New York City and is known in the field for having developed a thriving DSD program for products accepted into his system - not all products are. 500 drivers are expected to take part in the initial workshop to learn of the unique product and business benefits of Winning Colours Stain Remover for the c-stores that the drivers service. These drivers already call on c-stores with existing trusted brands such as Gillette, Wrigley, Welch's, WD-40, Sun Maid, etc. The Winning Colours program is considered capable of growing to 4,000 participating drivers as the roll-out gains momentum over time under Mr. Udell's supervision.
With many years of experience in "alternative" distribution, Jay Udell prides himself in managing product introduction and deliveries outside of the typical chain store environment. "I love pioneering," says Mr. Udell; "An interesting and emerging product like Winning Colours would be wise to keep driving business through the independent stores in America - chain stores will have their own timing. I have been in business for 40 years and know and work with the appropriate wholesalers too. We will get the job done of consolidating small orders from thousands of c-stores into efficient, continuous deliveries and replenishment. In fact, I am now managing the largest DSD distributorship in the USA and Winning Colours is a perfect fit. We will also deploy a team of specialized sales reps who focus on c-store distributor accounts to gain the c-store chains that order through these distributors, initially within the East Coast. Those c-stores are in addition to ones being handled through the Winning Colours Direct Store Delivery program. I'm excited and ready to go!"
In 2009, Winning Brands chose two cities, Indianapolis and Cleveland, to determine whether placement of Winning Colours Stain Remover 12-paks in 200 c-stores would sell-through on the counter or on the shelf, unaided. Winning Brands found that consumers responded to Winning Colours Stain Remover as an impulse item, based on the packaging and positioning. "We were pleased that it was not necessary to implement broadcast advertising to generate product movement from those c-store counter displays," reports Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner; "We did find, however, that we could improve turnover with a proactive inventory replenishment system. We will accelerate progress by making store re-ordering an automatic process arising out of driver visits twice per week, instead of leaving it to the stores to initiate re-ordering. Direct Store Delivery of Winning Colours Stain Remover is the practical mechanism for thousands of c-stores to replenish Winning Colours inventory on the spot. The new system is fast and easy for the stores because it is routine and systematic. Our c-store plan results from nearly a year of testing and answers the question of what we are doing next with c-stores - we are going for deep penetration of the sector," Mr. Lehner concludes.
Winning Brands, after filing its results for Q1 2010, will hold a shareholder's conference featuring Mr. Udell as an invited guest to discuss with shareholders how the DSD program will give Winning Colours Stain Remover unprecedented reach in c-store distribution and why this is so beneficial for Winning Brands.

Hello Moderator Team – Quick answers to some recent questions
Why fewer Form D filings: We have had fewer 504 subscriptions recently – that is one reason. The second is that we stay in touch with the SEC in order to ensure that we understand procedures and policies properly, and thus apply them appropriately. In the most recent discussions with the Office of Small Business Policy, it emerged that the SEC would consider it a preferable alternative to file fewer amendments (because there is no material change to the subscription conditions in the amendments) and instead file one amendment which states the balance of the unused annual portion of the 504 as one event, even if the entire subscription is then actually filled over the course of the remaining year. Accordingly, we will in due course file an additional Form D amendment for the entire available balance, but still adhere to the policy of not exceeding more than $1 million per year by distributing that activity responsibly over the course of a year. We will make our O/S change updates part of our filings and update the website accordingly – so our shareholders will continue to have confidence in our market activities.
Status of the Attorney Letter for Pink Sheets: Counsel had asked for documentary evidence that the Preferred Shares convert to Common Shares at the rate of only 1:1. This low conversion rate is unusually favourable to common shareholders amongst our peer junior public companies. Suitable original documentation arising from the Agreement of Merger dated January 1, 2006 has now been supplied to counsel. This was an important due diligence point because the 1:1 conversion means that there is no party currently known to hold more than 5% of common shares, even if all conversion rights are exercised. Such questions and due diligence research has been the reason that the Attorney Letter had not yet been submitted. Our premises, the retailer settings and our CFO have also been vetted in personal examination by counsel.
Store Count: No stores have been removed from the Store Locator system by us. If there appears to be a decline, please let us know. We have not removed any.
Lancaster updates: Following the acquisition of 5 Star by Lancaster, there have been significant procedural changes there that they are still working out; closure of a warehouse to be replaced by a new one, substantial personnel changes, adjusted reporting lines, shifting priorities and consolidation of policies. This has meant that the tidy process that we had been enjoying previously, ie receiving the store updates like clockwork, has been interrupted and is still affected. I should emphasize that Winning Brands takes an uncommon interest in knowing where its product is available so that we can make this information known to retail consumers. Generally speaking, distributors regard such information as proprietary. Distributors do not like to provide lists of retailers to whom they sell a manufacturer’s product. Also, it represents a time consuming process for the distributor to compile, with no immediate apparent ROI to the distributors. Therefore, we are grateful to Lancaster for making an exception in our case. They understand our reasons and will continue to cooperate, but to put it in plain terms, they have a lot going on at the moment. Winning Brands is respecting this fact of life by not being a nuisance about these updates, while still persevering to obtain them asap. It requires balance, like so many things. This behind-the-scenes situation there will affect information flow to us about the March 2010 shipments as well. You may rest assured that we are not overlooking the desirability of the release of this data.
Timing of the DRTV: Our original News Release was clear in saying that the preliminary plans were for the launch of the DRTV by the first week of May 2010. The word preliminary is well understood to mean facts that are known “prior to, or preparing for, the main matter” – in other words an estimation pending final details being known and confirmed. Now that the DRTV planning process is highly advanced, I am pleased to confirm that we are still targeting May – possibly the Memorial Day weekend, for the commencement of our initial on-air testing on national cable channel(s). There are several factors at work in the equation, including our introduction of a very interesting new packaging concept for the on-air offering, which required sign-offs by a number of affected parties (artwork, production planning, materials sourcing, etc). Despite this fact, the launch date still appears to be within a few weeks of the preliminary date targeted back in December 2009, and thus well within the zone and has absolutely no impact on its outcome.
NA Account Status: The most recent written undertaking by that first partner, this week, is that they will expedite matters to the best of their ability, because they understand that we have been waiting a long time and the fact that we have invested in EDI compliance and protocols (Electronic Data Interchange), as well as having the commitment to carry EDI direct costs. How quickly does “expedite” mean? I cannot answer this for another party, but I appreciate the continued goodwill that clearly exists in that relationship, for which I am grateful.
Quarterly Reporting?: Yes, we will be within standards for quarterly reporting, meaning 6 weeks from the end of each quarter. The annual report takes longer.
Summary:
Everything is moving forward and going substantially according to plan. What is that plan? – to ensure that millions of American consumers coast-to-coast discover America’s most versatile cleaning product, Winning Colours Stain Remover, and purchase it on a regular basis through retailers that are convenient to them, on-line, on TV, and in every manner required to make Winning Colours recognized as the cleaning sensation that it really is.
By staying focused, keeping costs in line and reinvesting in things that build brand value, your management team is showing dedication to the interests of the common shareholders of Winning Brands. We are confident that 2010 will end on a much improved note over 2009 and will vindicate the positive instincts shown by our early investors who recognized a winner when they saw one – before others could.

News out today on another one of their great products!! Press Release Source: Winning Brands Corporation On Tuesday April 13, 2010, 3:11 pm EDT
AURORA, Ill., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), www.WinningBrands.com manufacturer of popular new TrackMoist performance enhancer and dust control for dirt racetracks and sports fields has been approved for use by the Feld Motorsports Division of highly respected Feld Entertainment at its popular special vehicle events. www.feldmotorsportsonline.com. Feld Motorsports operates Monster Jam, Nuclear Cowboyz, Monster Energy Supercross and AMA Arenacross amongst others. The parent company, Feld Entertainment, has been well known for generations through its entertainment spectaculars, www.feldentertainment.com .
Satisfaction of event participants and spectators is the guiding principle of the Feld organization. The quality of the dirt surfaces on which drivers perform is a high priority. TrackMoist has been used at Feld Motorsports events in testing to determine whether it will perform under the challenging "real-world" conditions faced by this demanding sector of motorsports entertainment. The results were clear – TrackMoist noticeably improved the condition of the dirt and meaningfully contributed to the quality of the events.
"Monster Jam Indianapolis with TrackMoist was considered to be a dust-free event. When the Monster Trucks spun around doing donuts, the dirt roosts just dropped immediately." reports Don 'Herbie' Williams, TrackMoist product specialist and business manager. Mr. Williams and Winning Brands have been working quietly behind the scenes to subject TrackMoist to realistic operating conditions in order to provide a solid basis for confidence by track and dirt groomers. "After further testing at other events across the country, great results were the norm. We are very grateful to Feld for letting us be part of their quality enhancement process. We have been told point-blank that Feld is impressed with the quality and ease of use of TrackMoist for dirt conditioning and that TrackMoist will continue to be used." Williams concluded.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, puts the development into context. "We like to keep things real - products, customers, challenges and solutions. People who follow our company know that we are focused on building a good reputation the old fashioned way – by earning it. The respect and confidence of our customers is something that money cannot buy; but celebrating success together is priceless. Therefore, Winning Brands management deeply appreciates that an organization of Feld Entertainment's stature has cooperated with us in demonstrating what we can do."
TrackMoist is a concentrate that is added to the water tanks of trucks used to spray dirt race tracks or other dirt sporting surfaces. It is typically sold in 1 gallon and 5 gallon containers. They mix to create 45,000 gallons and 225,000 gallons of treated water, respectively. It has been reported that water consumption is reduced by up to 50% in such applications. Many race tracks consume tens of thousands of gallons of untreated water per weekend to dampen and condition the dirt. Additional savings arise from reduced fuel consumption by water trucks, less equipment wear and lower personnel costs. The appeal of TrackMoist is not confined to water savings because the characteristics of the dirt surface are improved for performance purposes.

The innovative stain remover and multi-cleaner is targeted to become the world's favourite stain removing solution because of its remarkable skin-friendliness, ease of use and versatility.

News.. Winning Brands to Commence Product Sales in Africa
Market Testing of Winning Colours(R) Stain Remover to Start in South Africa
BARRIE, Ontario, April 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.com (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) manufacturer of new cleaning sensation, Winning Colours Stain Remover, is releasing its initial shipment of Winning Colours to South Africa in May to begin the brand's first marketing trials on the continent of 900 million inhabitants.
Winning Brands' Product Ambassador for South Africa, Mr. Nqobizita (Zitha) Mhlaba, whose appointment was finalized today, will organize trial placements of Winning Colours amongst interested retailers in South Africa as the first step in establishing a fan base amongst African consumers. Winning Colours Stain Remover is already gaining fans in North America and beyond for its unusual performance characteristics amongst cleaning products. South Africa was chosen by Winning Brands as its launch point on the continent, despite interest from other parts of Africa, because of South Africa's sophisticated infrastructure and influential role in relations with other African nations. "As a bridge between North America and the African continent, South Africa is a perfect starting point," says Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, adding, "This country has a 'best in class' mindset, despite having its own economic hurdles like everyone else. The ties between South Africa and rest of the continent are too numerous to mention."
Mr. Mhlaba, a South African by birth, is a Systems Analyst with many years of professional experience in Africa, including risk management, information technology and banking. He is a resident of the Johannesburg area and has been preparing for the commencement of Winning Brands operations in South Africa for more than a year. "I felt there was an opportunity to make a difference to the environment by introducing this versatile cleaning wonder to South Africa. Winning Colours will truly make an impact in our market as the majority of South Africans look for safer and environmentally sound alternatives to replace the traditional and harmful products in widespread use," Mr. Mhlaba remarks.
Commencement of operations between Winning Brands and South Africa is being coordinated by Winning Brands' first International Sales Manager, Daniela Relja. "The international development of Winning Brands will involve the collaboration of associates across many cultures. My focus will be on the management of the multi-cultural nature of a global presence. We are making new Winning Colours friends around the world already, and we have barely even started our outreach. It's not surprising that the world's most versatile cleaning solution would be gaining interest from a wide variety of markets. I am proud that such a particularly fine new associate as Zitha Mhlaba is joining our emerging team of Winning Brands Product Ambassadors."
The delivery of a consumer product made in North America to consumers in developing economies is considered to be a significant challenge for most companies because of the combination of relatively high labour costs and other inputs on the production end and lower average disposable income on the receiving end. Mr. Lehner explains why the delivery to Africa of Winning Colours is viable: "Winning Colours in its concentrated form is easily transported. It is an effective and versatile stain remover in that concentrated form, yet can be diluted by the end-user a great deal with plain water to become a super affordable multi-cleaner too for general applications. For this reason, Winning Colours can be enjoyed by at least some portion of all of the world's national markets. Naturally this will take time – but in our case, it is feasible and happening."

Subject: WNBD: Oil Spill Update
Size: 67 KB
Hello Moderator Team,
I did not initiate any publicity regarding the oil spill relief actions of Winning Brands because this would have changed the nature of the experience for the recipients from authentic support of them into something crass and self-serving.
However, the recipients have informed me today that they on their own initiative have approached the editor(s) of their local media to discuss Winning Brands and what Winning Brands proposes to do for the community. I gave my consent for their approach to their own media today on the basis that public acknowledgement is authentic if it comes from the recipients rather than from the donors themselves.
It therefore appears likely that a story will now be emerging in due course. I will provide more information after I have conducted my interview with that media, possibly starting with their newspaper.
Please accept my thanks for not having tried to pressure the company to generate self-serving publicity and for trusting in the principle that what “goes around comes around”. If the behaviour of Winning Brands is at all times properly motivated, respectful and takes the interests of others into account as well, not only our own, then our long term relationships with others can be positive, sustainable and mutually rewarding.
This principle appears to be taking hold now in this case again.
Best regards,
Eric Lehner
CEO
Winning Brands Corporation

Eric,
I recently read the update posted on ihub regarding the oil spill update on media covering and I applaud the direction you ve chosen to take. Way to stay classy. How much product is winning brands willing to donate/sell? If you do decide to donate how much will be donated or would it be on an as needed basis? Will there be a point where you would cut off the freebies and start selling the product to the relief effort? Once again I applaud the route you re taking with this and keep up the good faith efforts, I believe it will pay off in the end for both the company and us shareholders.
Also, we spoke last year about trackmoist being used on my companies construction sites but they were rejected by our client due to the strictly growing environmental storm water management concerens here in the US. Has there been any new developments with trackmoist for this application. It would have to be able to be discharged into a drainage system that would comply with the storm water management laws. Thanks for any light you can shed.

I went to the busy St Paul, MN Hirshfield's paint store (was there about 6 months ago too but I usually go to the Edina or Eden Prairie stores for follow-ups on how sales are going) this evening and asked an older sales rep there what he thinks of Winning Colours Stain Remover (which happens to be sitting right up on each side of the four-sided check out counter) his response was "LOVE IT", I asked him how it was selling there..his response "ITS SELLING GREAT...REALLY WELL", I asked him if they would still be carrying it there after 2 years if it was a flop and he said "no way". I asked him if he's gotten feed back on it and he said yes he's had people come back saying that they absolutely love it. He said he personally has a few bottles to clean up stains and pet messes in his home and that their store automatically replenishes it regularly.. every week. He also said that he really pushes the product. I didnt stay long because they had a lot of customers but I obviously left the store very happy and excited. I have had the same experience now with every Hirshfields store that I have visited or called!! Wish I had videod the conversation you guys would be excited too.

Subject: WNBD: DRTV Update
Size: 114 KB
Hello Moderator Team,
We are coming down to the finishing line for the launch of the DRTV. This initiative has been the subject of much discussion between shareholders and the company because it is such a significant event. I am therefore providing a highly detailed update and reminding us all about the objectives of this campaign. In a business relationship that has so much goodwill and openness regarding details as the one between Winning Brands and its stakeholders, there will always be certain specifics that strike one person or another as contrary to their own way of doing things, or personal assumptions about what is best. Amongst a group as large as our shareholders, there is no consensus possible. There may always be disagreement as to merits of some specific details. However, there is also such a thing as broad general agreement about principles and policies. These are more important because they describe general strategy and direction. One can disagree about specific steps of a journey without it undermining general agreement regarding broader objectives. This means that nothing that I say or do will satisfy everyone. The more important test is whether what I say and do is sound in principle and coherent vis a vis the stated goals. I feel there is a broad agreement that the DRTV can have a powerful impact on our growth, if handled properly.
Firstly, as background, there have been questions and remarks made by observers from time to time that imply that the DRTV is merely a TV commercial, and that implementing it requires little more than pointing a camera at a few stains and going to air. In fact, the implementation of a Direct Response Television Campaign is the equivalent of designing and operating a 24-hour store doing business simultaneously in 50 states. There is a great deal involved, operationally and legally. There are also issues in marketing, training and procedures of various kinds. It may seem that there are many DRTV commercials on air, yet in reality, compared to the total number of consumer products in America, the number of DRTV commercials is miniscule. The reason is that DRTV requires a combination of “qualification elements” in order to be viable. Most companies would love the opportunity of selling through this powerful medium but just don’t have that option – they don’t qualify. This memo does not lend itself to the exhaustive theories which set out the characteristics of product, price, positioning, premise, etc that must all be present for DRTV to be a viable option. There are good books available on the subject for those who would like to go into it further – and it is interesting reading. And even amongst candidate products that have the qualifying characteristics, not all are equally well suited to adjust their offer in terms of product, price and positioning to perform the fine tuning that can turn a mediocre result into top performance. This is why many who start out cannot thrive. However, there are sufficient examples of spectacular successes to leave DRTV as a highly prized business opportunity for those who can pull it together. DRTV can be a multi-million dollar venue for the right products. The value to the brand of this experience goes beyond the on-air sales to include the recognition value of the product on retailer shelves over time. Retailers know and appreciate this benefit.
Of bottom line interest to WNBD shareholders is the fact that Winning Colours Stain Remover is the PERFECT candidate for this medium. The willingness of one of America’s most sophisticated DRTV organizations to work with the product is by itself an affirmation that should not be underestimated. There is a “lost-opportunity cost” for any successful business or person to be engaged in any time consuming activity. The intense cooperation between Winning Brands and Hawthorne Direct represents an expenditure of time for both, not only money. Hawthorne has no time to waste.
The fact that Winning Colours is so well suited to this medium does not mean that the first version of the commercial, broadcast on the first station, is going to be a rip-roaring success right out of the starting gates. We all know that “fine tuning” is a process of refinement that can turn noise into music coming out of a musical instrument, and turn backfire into a healthy roar from the engine of a sports car. Winning Brands has committed to the medium of DRTV for Winning Colours because it is in principle so ideally suited by criteria that have become well understood in a sophisticated industry. The first day’s results are not the “be all and end all”. Everything will be monitored, analyzed and adjusted as required to optimize all the factors. The on-screen pictures shown, the narrative that accompany those, the tone of voice, the graphics on the screen, the price, the “offering bundle” (ie what is presented and how), and more factors are all variables for continuous improvement to connect with viewers. There are millions of stains and mishaps happening regularly. We are not confined by a narrow window of opportunity.
On the subject of the profitability of the DRTV, Winning Brands enjoys the position of being the manufacturer. Therefore, we have greater latitude to deal with cost cutting and offering adjustments than inventors who deal with unrelated manufacturers off-shore, or distributors, etc. The minimum objective is to achieve a response efficiency ratio such that costs are covered. This by itself allows the DRTV to remain on-air for a long time, building awareness of the brand. Sophisticated retailers know the power of DRTV. Old theories about the reputation of such products as being cheap or gimmicky are just that – old theories. Consumer tastes evolve; the infotainment nature of DRTV has become fully accepted into mainstream merchandising. You will find this medium increasing, not decreasing – subject only to the limitation that is inherent in the viability of a product’s innate characteristics.
The points below show just some of the specific steps that Winning Brands has been going through with its operating associates to prepare for this event. You will see that even this brief summary illustrates how carefully things need to be integrated into a final finished system. As of today, May 12th at 10pm – the operating target launch is June 7th. The Memorial Day weekend had been the operating target until yesterday, however the team felt that some of the operating elements needed a bit more testing before going live. The difference of a week or so has no impact whatsoever on the outcome. I do not regard this as a delay, but rather an extra measure of preparation for the sake of quality.
Already Accomplished (Basic Overview)
· Telemarketing Request for Proposal (RFP) designed and submitted to selected companies
· Fulfillment RFP designed and submitted to selected companies
· Merchant Credit Card Processing accounts RFP designed and submitted to selected companies
· Development of DRTV-specific Web Site, DRTV Commercial with studio filming and all associated tasks including script, talent, etc
· Telemarketer RFP responses reviewed
· Fulfillment RFP responses reviewed
· Merchant account RFP responses reviewed
· Selection of telemarketer
· Selection of fulfillment company.
· Selection of merchant account company
· Telemarketing credit approval process, contract review and signature
· Fulfillment credit approval process, contract review and signature
· Merchant account credit approval process, contract review and signature
· Preparation and remittance of applicable deposits to telemarketer
· Preparation and remittance of applicable deposits to fulfillment company and Merchant Credit Card Processor
· For fulfillment purposes, liaison for product information, final weights, measures, descriptions, SKU number assignments of product
· Determination of backend reporting requirements, writing draft telemarketing scripts and revisions
· Determination of pricing, delivery methods, shipping/handling charge, payment methods, up-sells, etc.
· Review and revision of call operator protocols
· Arrangements for assembly of product iterations at fulfilment premises to constitute finished offering “kit”
· Confirmation of final offer between Winning Brands and its operating associates & Website Team – including new special website URLs
· Final script to telemarketer for system programming (required 10-business days after final scripts are approved) and design of product training for up to 500 operators
· Conceptualization, design and implementation of appropriate labels, letters, and informational packages
· Manufacturing of opening inventory
· Advanced shipment notification to fulfillment partners confirming product inventory opening inventory is enroute
· Winning Colours data to fulfillment company on merchant account set-up and determination of criteria for multiple shipments, “check holding”, Post Office Box requirements and Money order needs
· Design of fulfillment reporting requirements
· Transmission set-up between fulfillment company/telemarketer
Still to be Done
· Final version DRTV commercial editing and narration
· Creation of Infomercial master in-house and Tape Specifications with master (i.e. Script for Voice Over, Edit List for 800# placement) – estimated May 26th
· Distribution of completed DRTV to operational partners to familiarize them with the product and offer
· Testing telemarketing transmission and sample reports, verifying transmission accuracy
· Winning Brands completing fulfillment partner customer services training and verification of report accuracy; all operators to be provided with Winning Colours for first hand experiences
· Distribution of station dubs for arrival at stations by Monday, May 31st – required at stations one week before on air-date
· Performance of scripting test calls
· Reviewing and ensuring adequate operator staffing
· First on-air date of Monday, June 7th
It is possible that the air-date will be adjusted as the final elements come together. Everything is operating smoothly and professionally. The commercial will be on-air and begin to generate results in the 2nd QTR. It is impossible that an undertaking of this significance will leave no positive trace on Winning Brands. Concrete and sensible steps taken by hardworking companies are “leading indicators” of survival, success and thriving investors in due course. Winning Brands has been a work in progress toward clearly stated goals. I appreciate and applaud our early investors. You have had the self-confidence to participate during the formative period of a young company’s life. You have show special goodwill toward Winning Brands - and received goodwill and accountability from management of your company. We can all be proud of this next step.

Winning Brands: Assisting in Oil Spill Re-print from accredited news agency (Re-print from an accredited news agency.)
Canada's Winning Brands Sends Care Package Of Products For Gulf Oil Clean-up Barrie-Based Company Steps Up To Plate To Assist Volunteer Workers By Cambridge Now News
Crude Reality Attracts Barrie Company Canadians take the initiative to get involved when it comes to International causes. Earthquakes, hurricanes, and now oil spills.
This past week, following news reports coming out of the Gulf of Mexico where the BP Oil spill has become one of the worst environmental disasters in recent years; Barrie, Ontario, Winning Brands Corporation expedited a shipment of its Winning Colors Stain removing agent to volunteer groups on the ground in Mississippi.
British Petroleum's problem is presently unstoppable and cannot be capped off. The explosion has revealed possible systemic issues within BP's corporate culture with regard to risk management.
As the gushing, spewing well continues to unleash crude from its bowels some 5000 feet below the surface, communities along the gulf coast of the United States brace themselves for what could have a "Katrina" effect but with a very different loss factor.
Winning Colours has built a successful business developing Eco-friendly products which they currently market in Canada, the USA, Australia and South Africa, so sending off a shipment to help-out seemed like a natural solution to an un-natural disaster.
"Canadians like to help out their American neighbours whenever we can," suggests Winning Brands, CEO, Eric Lehner.
"When our team heard about the catastrophic runaway oil well, we knew that our expertise could come in handy somehow, in some productive way," said Lehner.
This revelation prompted them to research potential spill clean-up volunteer groups in the State of Mississippi. Their goal was to suggest ways their eco-friendly products could arrest the effects of the spill on possibly wildlife, the volunteer workers themselves, their apparel, and on anything they saw fit to use it on.
"Your friends in Canada would like to adopt you and this is our gift. And you can have as much as you need—even if it runs into the thousands. The response to the offer was touching," said Lehner.
This is not the first "wet cleaning" expedition for Winning Brands. They have recently made an agreement with Holland America Cruise Lines to switch out their solvent-based dry cleaning products onboard cruise ships for their Solvent Free Solutions non-toxic dry cleaning solutions otherwise known as "Wet cleaning". So they are strong supporters and promoters of anything ECO.
Committed To An Eco-Friendly World
"It makes sense that everything we do, everything we use and everything we wear, from now on, should be eco-friendly. As long as there is human ingenuity people will keep finding ways to use what we do to make better choices for themselves and their families. The spectrum is wide. Whether it's an oil spill, or a toddler's sippy-cup accident, our products will continue to be "strong as solvents...but gentle like soap". (Who could ask for anything more?)
Clean With A Clear Conscience
Lehner believes in people, worthy causes, humanitarianism, and, of course, Winning Colours Stain remover...but then that goes without saying.
However, I had to track him down. And I firmly believe that his unselfish willingness to take what he has, which he believes is useful and give it to someone who actually needs it, will be thank you enough for him.
And if it saves a thousand ducks or ten ducks or one duck, and helps with the clean-up, Winning Brands will have WON another fight...and so too, will everyone else involved in this environmental calamity.
Here's to success in the Gulf Region. Good work Winning Brands!
Oil Slick Near Mississippi Delta
An April 20 explosion at the rig led to a leak of crude oil at the sea floor, roughly 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the ocean surface, where intense pressure impedes most mitigation efforts.
The deadly blowout of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before exploding, according to interviews with rig workers conducted during BP's internal investigation.
An oil slick that has resulted from the accident at the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico lingered near the Mississippi River Delta on May 1, 2010. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image the same day. The oil slick appears as a tangle of dull gray on the ocean surface, made visible to the satellite sensor by sunglint—the mirror-like reflection of the Sun off the water. Most of the oil slick occurs southeast of the Mississippi Delta.
And Now A Word From Eric Lehner, CEO Winning Brands
WE believe in a safe and healthy environment. It is the goal of Winning Brands Corporation to give you positive new choices in cleaning products that are effective and eco-responsible. It is not our purpose to criticize other cleaning products already in use, some of which are satisfactory. The question is whether we can go beyond satisfactory to a higher standard of performance, eco-responsibility and value. We hope to earn the right of becoming a new favourite in your home or business for the categories in which we specialize by pleasantly surprising consumers with the features and benefits that are now available in advanced environmentally sensitive cleaning solutions.

Subject: WNBD: Direct Response TV Launch
Size: 77 KB
Hello Moderator Team,
There has been strong interest by investors in the reach of the Winning Colours Stain Remover DRTV launch, taking place very soon. Of greatest interest has been the question of whether the DRTV will be local, regional or national – and whether it will consist only of late night viewing.
I have been reluctant to be specific until a formal media plan was completed. I have now approved it, in writing. Accordingly, I can now confirm that the commercials are intended to run on the following U.S. cable networks, subject only to the final confirmation by these networks of the availability of the requested times. For this reason, we will not know until after broadcast dates and our review of broadcast records whether the air times were filled as booked. Available air-time inventory changes daily. With that proviso – our target broadcast mix for the first two weeks includes:
· Biography Channel
· CMT Pure Country
· Discovery Health
· Discovery Kids
· Family Net
· Fine Living
· FIT TV
· Hallmark Movie Channel
· Lifetime Real Women
· Planet Green
· Soap Net
· TV Land
· Universal HD
The broadcasts are national, not local. These commercials can be viewed across America and will rotate during a wide range of times during the 24 hr cycle. We will of course be evaluating the initial results after 2 weeks in order to assess which aspects of the product presentation can be adjusted to optimize results. These factors will be as wide ranging as the narration, the supplied demos, the duration of the commercial, the conversion of callers to completed orders, the nature of the questions asked upon ordering, the split between operator orders and on-line orders, the potential and role of computerized voice-prompted order taking compared with live operators, and many other variables.
Therefore, Winning Brands’ style of moving through its business plan in a deliberate manner, gaining solid experience with reproducible and verifiable events, describes our approach to this project as well. Everything that we have done since the inception of Winning Brands has been designed to provide a foundation for a valuable, profitable company; one which has profound growth prospects. My goal is to provide our shareholders with a high-profile success, for the benefit of all concerned. The Winning Colours Direct Response launch represents nothing less than the arrival of Winning Brands on the U.S. national television scene. For the first time in the history Winning Brands, we will be able to put our case directly to consumers, coast-to-coast in America and provide those consumers with a means to buy Winning Colours Stain Remover easily and immediately. This initiative supports our current and future retailers by increasing consumer recognition of Winning Colours Stain Remover in retailers’ stores. Winning Brands is not putting “all its eggs” in the DRTV basket. Instead, DRTV is a powerful development in the emergence of Winning Colours Stain Remover and the advancement of Winning Brands’ shareholder interests. With this new platform, we are moving up a rung in the hierarchy of national brands, from aspiring to emergent, and ultimately toward Winning Colours Stain Remover becoming a household name in America. Winning Colours has what it takes to become a national favourite.
I am completely dedicated to the mission and on behalf of our team here I thank our stakeholders for standing beside us and sharing this vision. Our success too will be a shared accomplishment.

From Ihub..CEO memo Hello Moderator Team - Lancaster Sundry Scene update
The attached full page advertisement is going out shortly to approximately 12,000 paint stores and paint retail professionals in the magazine "Sundry Scene". The magazine is distributed by Lancaster and considered the ideal platform for creating high awareness within their account base (and in the industry generally). You may like to have this for iBox.
'Thank You a Thousand Times!' to Winning Brands From Europe - Pr Newswire
As of 3:17 PM ET 5/26/10 Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.com (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), North American manufacturer of popular Winning Colours Stain Remover announces arrangements for its first commercial shipment of Winning Colours to Denmark, where it is known as 1000+(TM), as in all non-English speaking markets. The new shipment comes amidst a celebration of miracles, large and small - in this case delivered in the form of a bottle of 1000+, now a symbol to many Danes of a happy ending to a terrible act of animal cruelty.
"Thank you a thousand times!" was the message from Elsebeth Kvistgaard, owner of a puppy named Maggie that became the sudden focus of attention for Danes upon learning that the beautiful Golden Retriever had been doused in used motor oil and diesel fuel by a stranger. The case had become all the more frustrating because no solution was available to remove the oily mess from Maggie's coat without discomfort to the dog. Up to that point, dishwashing liquid had previously been considered the preferred option amongst animal protection personnel in Denmark and elsewhere. In Maggie's case, this approach was not sufficient.
"This case comes at a critical moment" says Mr. Talmark; " All Danes are thinking of America's Gulf Coast now and are concerned about the cleaning that is ahead for so many oily creatures. Then, suddenly, I had such a case in my very own hands for immediate action. I will now discuss trials with animal protection officials locally so that formal cooperation with agencies in other countries may be possible to examine the benefits to various animals requiring this type of cleaning internationally."
Winning Brands International Sales Manager, Daniela Relja, remarks that progress for Winning Colours / 1000+ in Europe is accelerating now: "The company's German initiatives, previously announced, are being activated this year in concert with the Danish appointment. I am receiving more enquiries than ever from Europe for Winning Colours / 1000+. The U.S. market is important, and as we see, the international market is as well. My mission is to get this organized so that the world's most versatile cleaning solution has a presence on every continent."
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, was recently interviewed in connection with the company's offer to commence trials with suitable organizations involved in the Gulf of Mexico animal rescue initiatives. "We know that many fine people and groups are trying their best to cope.

We are grateful to Peter Talmark, the Danish police and Elsebeth Kvistgaard for having reminded us all that happy endings are worth the extra effort." Mr. Lehner concludes.

NEWS OUT!! All Systems Go for Winning Brands DRTV Launch
Winning Colours Stain Remover Commercial Ready for Air
PR Newswire
LOS ANGELES, June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, confirms today that it is ready for implementation of Winning Brands' first-ever Direct Response Television Advertising. The company's intention to expand to DRTV marketing was first announced in December 2009 with the intention to be on-air 2nd Qtr 2010. Preparations have been completed on-time and on-budget.
The DRTV launch is the most significant marketing move yet by Winning Brands to enter the U.S. consumer packaged goods sector and to gain national retail distribution for its breakthrough cleaning solution. National cable TV networks have been identified for the first test airings, scheduled to begin next week. This will be the first time that Winning Colours Stain Remover TV advertising will be seen by consumers across America. Winning Colours Stain Remover is being described as the world's most versatile cleaning solution because of its unique performance characteristics across an extraordinary range of uses while retaining unheard of kindness to skin for products in this category. A growing consumer fan base is already posting video examples of Winning Colours in action through social media site YouTube: www.youtube.com/results?search_query=winning+colours+stain+remover&aq=0. Winning Colours Stain Remover is known as 1000+ in non-English foreign markets, where distribution arrangements are also picking up pace.
The Winning Colours DRTV product offering will be priced at $19.95, consisting of a custom kit that includes both large and small bottle SKU's of Winning Colours Stain Remover concentrate, as well as a new custom reusable Convenience Sprayer with which to stretch the value of the offering 20-fold for general purpose cleaning through dilution with water. Also included are 10 new "Pocket Paks" - an innovative SKU designed specifically for the DRTV launch. Winning Colours Pocket Paks are miniaturized dispensing pouches that slip into purses, pockets and other tight spaces for single-use applications when stain mishaps occur in inconvenient places, such as the restaurant table and while travelling, where bottles are not suitable.
Winning Colours DRTV consumer purchases will be taken via live-operators 24-hrs per day to service the round-the-clock television ad placements. Orders will also be taken on-line at a new micro-site developed specifically to support the DRTV. Various iterations of the commercial will eventually be spun off the initial 2 minute short-form infomercial, to include 60 second support pieces and versions with retailer logos that create a tie-in between the brand and store versions of the SKU's in due course. It is anticipated that the Winning Colours DRTV campaign will pass through a series of tests in order to optimize results by making adjustments where required. Winning Brands is making a long term commitment to DRTV and high quality customer service in order to harness the power of this medium as a spring board to large scale national distribution and to support those listings when activated.
Winning Brands' best-in-class commitment for DRTV operations includes its selection (and acceptance by) leading experts during all phases of the DRTV project, including Hawthorne Direct for TV commercial production and media buying www.hawthornedirect.com, Convergys Customer Relationship Management for primary call center operations www.convergys.com and Datapak Services Inc for fulfillment logistics www.datapakservices.com, amongst others. All three of these organizations are associated with successful DRTV campaigns and all count America's finest corporations amongst their clients.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments upon the significance to the company of this development: "A successful DRTV roll-out can increase the value of our company by several times. DRTV successes are documented to have sales potential in the tens of millions of dollars per year. This, combined with ensuing retailer listings and proper cost controls, will enable us to become highly profitable so that we can eventually buy back Winning Brands common shares. In our business plan, consumers benefit and shareholders win through a consumable world class product that is useful to virtually every household. As product manufacturers, we also have more flexibility to adjust the DRTV elements than ordinary DRTV products. This amounts to better than average prospects for success. Winning Brands' style has always been to keep at it, until we get it right. We'll get there."

MORE NEWS OUT!!! Winning Brands Advances in Germany
Momentum grows with appointment of 1000+(TM) Ambassador
FRANKFURT, Germany, June 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
North American manufacturer Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.com (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), maker of popular Winning Colours 1000+ Stain Remover, is boosting its presence in Europe through the appointment of its first Product Ambassador in Germany. This follows a recent appointment in Denmark, where 1000+ (as the advanced cleaning solution is known in non-English markets) became news because of its ability to rescue a Golden Retriever puppy named "Maggie" from harm after she was doused with oil and fuel. Dishwashing liquid that is traditionally used by animal welfare personnel failed to restore the dog's coat, whereas 1000+ cleaned Maggie's coat completely and easily.
Winning Brands has been interested in Germany for several years because the company determined that the German consumer product marketplace had no cleaning solution that matches the performance versatility of 1000+, which is produced in North America. The company has waited until it had local personnel before moving beyond informal market tests here. The appointment of Mr. Fabian Herr, who is based near Frankfurt, will now enable Winning Brands to develop practical business arrangements with retailers, and is therefore a significant development for the future of 1000+ in this country.
"I would like to develop the market for 1000+ on an organized and structured basis. My first target is to distribute 1000+ to stores which sell paints. This is how distribution began in North America because Winning Colours 1000+ is as strong as a solvent, but gentle as soap. In painting, messes of all kinds happen. The gentleness to skin of 1000+ is remarkable. 1000+ is an excellent alternative clean-up solution for Germans in ways that they will discover for themselves, like others in the world are discovering," says Mr. Herr. Deutschland@1000-Plus.com
Winning Brands International Sales Manager, Daniela Relja, explains that the repetition of a simple remark in Germany proved to Winning Brands that the opportunities for 1000+ in Germany are just as great as in North America: "On several occasions during market research, personnel in German stores responded to a simple question with the same remark. They did not realize that they were proving that a gap exists in their product mix. We asked customer service staff in stores what they would recommend to remove dried paint from a carpet – and the answer more than once was 'a knife'. They simply did not have a product like 1000+, which has so many unusual clean-up uses and is so gentle on skin and delicate surfaces. There are many ordinary cleaners – but 1000+ is extraordinary. With Fabian Herr's help we are now ready to develop suitable retail partnerships in Germany."

Winning Brands DRTV Begins - WinningColours.TV is Launched
World's Most Versatile Cleaning Solution(TM) Being Introduced to Households Across America
LOS ANGELES, June 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of advanced cleaning solution Winning Colours Stain Remover with HydroLift™ stain removing technology, is proceeding with the launch today of its direct response television programming (DRTV) to American consumers. Winning Brands reported last week that all systems were "Go" following months of preparation as company watchers wondered whether final arrangements would be cleared for launch according to schedule. Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, confirms that the associated micro-site www.WinningColours.TV is operational, the first DRTV commercial prelog has been received, consumer ordering systems have been tested and fulfillment procedures are in place. A broadcaster prelog confirms that the DRTV is in the programming schedule and ready for broadcast. Winning Brands will monitor the flight of this (first) version of its 2-minute infomercial over the coming weeks to determine what adjustments are required to optimize its media efficiency ratio and make the programming sustainable for a long term DRTV presence.
"June 7, 2010 is a milestone for Winning Brands," Mr. Lehner comments, adding, "Few consumer products make it to this coveted marketing platform because of the barriers to entry. Products getting this far have a good chance to attain household name stature if they manage their campaign elements well. Winning Colours Stain Remover has what it takes to become America's favourite stain remover and multi-cleaner. The product is truly unique, useful for millions of consumers and ready to make life easier in households everywhere. The accomplishment of launching in DRTV format involves more than merely airing a TV commercial. A great deal is being coordinated behind the scenes to manufacture product, process orders around the clock and manage continuous fulfilment. This by itself demonstrates that the young Winning Colours brand is developing well. Now, through DRTV, a larger than ever number of Americans will try the world's most versatile cleaning solution and discover what Winning Colours can do for them. There is no product in the world that is more convenient to use across such a wide range of messes."
A partial list of intended launch networks for the first weeks includes Planet Green, FIT TV, Family Network, Biography Channel, Discovery Health, Universal HD, Discovery Kids, and Hallmark Movie Channel amongst others.
Winning Colours has already secured a national retail presence in Canada (where the breakthrough cleaning solution was developed) including Walmart, Home Depot, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware and Zellers. The fact that Winning Colours Stain Remover is newer to the USA has not prevented early U.S. product fans from posting many creative and difficult stain scenarios at YouTube in a growing community- http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Winning+Colours+Stain+Remover&search _type=&aq=f. In the USA, Winning Colours Stain Remover is now available in over 1,000 local and regional stores, in all 50 states. Winning Colours has also been approved and is awaiting activation by larger retailer(s) in the USA. Internationally, Winning Colours Stain Remover has recently grown to approximately 200 stores in Australia and New Zealand, with early market testing underway or planned in a number of other countries.

Winning Brands Joins First ECRM - 40 Confirmed Appointments
Setting provides structured buyer contact for Winning Colours Stain Remover
LOS ANGELES, June 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD, Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of advanced cleaning solution Winning Colours Stain Remover with HydroLift™ stain removing technology, has been accepted for the first time to participate in the Household Cleaning Section of an ECRM conference to be held in Chandler, Arizona July 25-28, 2010. Winning Brands' new DRTV marketing platform for Winning Colours enables Winning Brands to immediately ramp-up its presentations to retailers of various kinds because of the popularity amongst retailers of brands that are supported through DRTV. The ECRM environment is favoured by a growing number of retailers and manufacturers for its efficiency in bringing buyers in touch with new products for their stores; www.marketgate.com/AboutECRM/Testimonials.aspx. Winning Brands confirms that over 40 appointments have now been booked for the presentation to buyers of Winning Colours Stain Remover at the event in July.
Winning Brands Key Account Manager, Steve Fantus, Steve@WiningBrands.ca, has been waiting for this opening. "I am a big believer in the efficiency of this format and have been looking forward to the completion of the Winning Colours DRTV to present in this environment. There are additional upcoming ECRM's that we can attend - this is only our first. Naturally we are also communicating with retailers and distributors who are not part of the ECRM system as, but this is a great way to build our base."
Winning Brands Director of Product Training, Lorne Kelly, Lorne@WinningBrands.ca will assist Mr. Fantus in the presentations. Reached by telephone for comment, Mr. Kelly is enthusiastic about the ability of Winning Colours to gain new fans; "I am on the road heading back at this moment from the Gulf Coast, where I have been on a fact finding mission arising from the current clean-up situation. It's great to see the reaction of people who discover Winning Colours for the first time, wherever they are. In my work as Training Director, I see people all day long who have never used Winning Colours and I also see their initial reaction. That's why I am confident that getting retailer listings has a lot to do with generating actual first-hand experiences for buyers. ECRM is the perfect environment because buyers commit to come to us, with everything in readiness for that one-on-one experience. I hear that we already have 40 presentations booked. That's probably close to the maximum number even possible within the duration of the event. I'll be ready to share what I have learned from the front line training new stores that carry Winning Colours."

Yup.. ANOTHER NEWS RELEASE!!
First Pharmacy Listing for Winning Brands - Store Count to Pass 5,000
Canada's London Drugs to Carry Winning Colours Stain Remover
LOS ANGELES, June 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of advanced cleaning solution Winning Colours Stain Remover with HydroLift™ stain removing technology, has been listed for the first time by a pharmacy chain. London Drugs is very well known in Western Canada, where it operates more than 70 large format stores serving 45 million customers per year. The development today is welcome news for Winning Brands as it positions itself to do business with U.S. drug retailers. The listing will take the Winning Brands store locator beyond the 5,000 mark once the London Drugs stores are entered upon receipt of inventory, within weeks. www.londondrugs.com
Winning Brands Canadian Sales Manager, Patricia Miles, Patricia@WiningBrands.ca, explains why the London Drugs listing is significant: "It's starting to happen that consumers, and retail category managers, are discovering the unsurpassed versatility of Winning Colours Stain Remover. To be so gentle on skin and still so useful on nasty messes qualifies Winning Colours for a presence in more store types. It's a big development, and much appreciated, that such a pharmacy icon in Western Canada has joined us. It gives us more 'touch points' to let consumers make spontaneous purchases while they are already buying other things. It also demonstrates that Winning Colours Stain Remover is at home in the modern pharmacy/drug store environment specifically. These stores are more sophisticated than ever with increased offerings of problem solving products that are safe for the home and kind to the body. We should not underestimate the appeal of our extraordinary skin friendliness in this setting. People who are concerned about their skin are frequent shoppers in pharmacies. Winning Colours will be very helpful to the growing number of women and men who want to protect their skin, even when they are cleaning. The Pharmacy/Drug retail sector is huge. This a great start."
Surpassing the 5,000 store mark is more than a psychological benchmark for Winning Brands. "Several years ago, when nobody heard of Winning Colours, we set the 5,000 store target as the critical number that could make us self-sustaining and provide a good cashflow platform. The reason is that this number of stores, with sufficient product velocity, can generate enough business to be highly profitable. Now we have those stores and will work with them to increase product velocity," says Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, adding – "We are also setting our next major goal to 20,000 stores – the momentum is with us now."

MORE NEWS OUT!!! 250 Store Convenience Chain Lists Winning Colours Stain Remover WINNING BRANDS CORP (OTC) (USOTC:WNBD) Intraday Stock Chart Today : Saturday 26 June 2010
Winning Brands Corporation www.WinningBrands.com (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), manufacturer of Winning Colours Stain Remover, World's Most Versatile Cleaning Solution™, has been listed by the Hasty Market group of convenience stores in Southern Ontario, with the signing of a Listing Agreement and Purchase Order yesterday. Winning Brands had announced in Q1 its intention to develop a plan to reach thousands of convenience stores in North America with its advanced cleaning solution, by various means.
The significance of this listing is that the Hasty Market group goes beyond guaranteeing initial front counter placement in at least 200 franchise outlets. The Listing Agreement also includes vigorous in-store merchandising arrangements to increase the visibility of Winning Colours within the stores. This will enable Winning Brands to determine, through experimentation, which measures optimize sales. The findings will be taken into consideration during preparations by Winning Brands New York based C-Store Coordinator, Jay Udell, for U.S. convenience store strategies. Udell has already received positive reaction from his Direct Store Delivery drivers about the effectiveness of Winning Colours Stain Remover. Operational details relating to DSD delivery packaging are being developed in order to implement the first U.S. DSD program. Winning Brands has recently sharpened its focus on optimizing sell-through at the store level since attaining its first business plan target of 5,000 stores carrying Winning Colours Stain Remover in North America and abroad. "We want to make sure that we don't just drop the product on the shelf and leave it at that," says Winning Brands Product Training Director, Lorne Kelly, adding: "We want our retail partners to enjoy increasing turnover with the right merchandising approach. It's now about increasing sell-through. The Hasty Market arrangement permits and encourages active cooperation between the franchisor/franchisee and ourselves for best results."
Winning Brands Canadian Sales Manager, Patricia Miles, appreciates Hasty Market agreeing to an interactive approach: "The decision makers at Hasty Market really like Winning Colours because of their positive first-hand experiences with the product. They want their convenience store customers to discover the easy and safe clean-up breakthrough that Winning Colours Stain Remover represents. This starts by making Winning Colours noticeable within the stores. We will have a number of things going on with signs and displays in participating stores as the implementation rolls into the first 200. The earliest stores may even be receiving opening inventory as soon as next week."
Winning Brands CEO Eric Lehner concludes by saying that the Winning Brands Store Locator will start climbing again soon by hundreds of locations. "Our IT team is finalizing the next upgrade to the Store Locator, currently at its 5,000 store maximum, increasing its capacity to 10,000 stores for now. With the recently announced London Drugs listing of pharmacies, the Hasty Market listing, activity in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, South Africa and Europe, and continued growth with Lancaster and other distributor accounts in the USA, we have a backlog to clear-up for sure."

The access numbers will be announced on July 19th.
The new conference call format will consist entirely of questions and comments by shareholders in live discussion with Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner and participating guest(s). Callers will be selected at random by the call moderator without the company's prior knowledge of the callers' questions or comments. This replaces the conventional format of gathering questions in writing, in advance. Shareholders can still submit questions after the conference call is posted to the Winning Brands website if their questions were not addressed during the conference call
Mr. Lehner explains the reason for the new format conference call: "Winning Brands already provides exceptional responsiveness to queries of various kinds, including its responses to the moderators of public written forums, such as Investors Hub or other qualified forums. So long as the public's access to our replies to the forum requires no payment of money, and it has orderly moderator policies, then such forums already constitute an efficient method to reply to written questions of general interest. This already takes place throughout the year. Therefore, the free flowing nature of a live conversation, such as a conference call, is wasted if we merely read prepared questions in sequence. Instead, I would rather work with callers and listeners to achieve understanding of the issues through the give and take process of discussion. This will be more interesting for all parties concerned and will demonstrate that there is more nuance to issues which on the surface may appear to be black and white. We are building a new brand – a process that is filled with opportunity and has challenges. I would prefer that the conference call become the setting in which shareholders can discuss the processes involved and gain deeper insights. The more our shareholders understand what the road ahead looks like, the more authentic and informed their relationship to the company, and their enthusiasm, can be. Winning Brands already goes far beyond its peers in making its goals and policies understandable. This is one of the reasons that we have an exceptionally loyal and focused shareholder group. They already understand a great deal. The new conference call format respects this relationship by engaging in deep, meaningful, discussion."
Winning Brands Corporation filed an Initial Company Information and Disclosure Statement at www.pinksheets.com on Jan. 31, 2010. As a result, the company's tier at Pink Sheets was elevated to Limited Information. Winning Brands anticipates the submission of final documents to Pink Sheets prior to the conference call which would be sufficient for the tier to be raised again, to Current Information, following Pink Sheets review.

Winning Brands Listing with New Zealand's Leading Grocer Wednesday 28 July 2010
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), North American manufacturer of cleaning sensation Winning Colours Stain Remover, announced today that New Zealand's largest grocery group, Progressive Enterprises, www.progressive.co.nz, has placed its opening order to put Winning Colours Stain Remover on store shelves in approximately 120 of its locations initially. The stores operate under the banners of Countdown, Woolworths and Foodtown, servicing approximately 2.5 Million customers per week. The grocer also operates a rapidly growing on-line food shopping service. Initial Winning Colours placement is scheduled for August. Progressive's parent company, Woolworths Limited, www.woolworthslimited.com.au, is headquartered in Australia where it is also the largest grocer, amongst other interests that make it one of the world's 20 largest retailers.
The development is significant for Winning Brands because Progressive's stores account for over 40% grocery market share in New Zealand. This new account provides an efficient foundation on which to develop the Winning Colours Stain Remover brand into a national favourite, because it puts Winning Colours within easy reach of a significant proportion of the country's consumers. Kori Walsh, Winning Brands Product Ambassador for Australia, who also oversees the work of Winning Brands associates in New Zealand, remarks, "It is a huge milestone for Winning Colours to begin working with a chain of this stature." Winning Brands International Sales Manager, Daniela Relja, adds, "The next step is to ramp up marketing concepts quickly and meet the turnover required to sustain a long term partnership. We already are developing initiatives with Progressive to get the word out to consumers."
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, concludes that a brand like Winning Colours, which is gaining consumers on opposite sides of the world, has significant potential; "For a young consumer product company like Winning Brands to eventually reach and surpass the $100 million figure, a global brand position is important. By establishing ties with suitable retailers in world markets, gaining even a small percentage of total market share delivers a powerful upside. Some people forget that the world's population is still growing at the rate of 100 million people per year. We manufacture a product(s) that are useful in households everywhere. It's just a matter of getting to them."

Winning Brands Attains 'Current Information' Tier on Pink Sheets Today : Thursday 5 August 2010
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU), www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of Winning Colours® 1000+ Stain Remover, World's Most Versatile Cleaning Solution™, has been upgraded to the Current Information tier at www.OTCMarkets.com. The Current Information tier is coveted by young public companies because it acknowledges compliance with a standard of disclosure that is higher than the majority of non-reporting issuers provide. Shareholders of companies in the Current Status tier often experience improved liquidity due to greater interest amongst investors in firms that have met this standard.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments on the development: "The decision by the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. to elevate Winning Brands to the Current Status tier is appreciated. Pink Sheets is the leading inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system in the over-the-counter securities market. Winning Brands' increased filing activity contributes to an orderly trading atmosphere and supports an environment of adequate information for investors. People who follow Winning Brands understand this development to be evidence that the company takes its publicly traded status seriously. With the Current Status tier, investors can now focus their attention on our prospects for growth, rather than worrying about whether adequate information exists regarding the company's fundamentals. Naturally, we in the company feel that our prospects for the future are very positive because we are ready to tackle the challenges that new companies face with real determination. America has rewarded innovative independent consumer product brands before; brands with names that we all recognize. Winning Brands' goal is to achieve this for our shareholders through Winning Colours Stain Remover, for starters. We are a highly speculative security because we are so young and the sales of our lead products in America have barely started, relative to our potential. There is nothing wrong in being a speculative security, and for many investors, that is desirable – so our commitment through Current Information filings is to ensure that adequate information is provided about the company for informed decisions to be made."
