Clique Vodka, Stewart, Murray & Assoc. to Pay for Free Cab Rides on New Year’s Eve

Pittsburgh, PA – Premier Innovations Group, owner of Clique Vodka, and Stewart, Murray & Assoc. Law Group, a DUI law firm, want you to get home safe this New Years Eve. The two companies have formed a partnership, utilizing Yellow Cab, to promote responsible transportation options to get home safely on one of the largest drinking nights of the year.

“In an effort to thank our customers for a great 2013, we are humbled to be providing free transportation to the public on New Year’s Eve, reminding everyone to Clique intelligently” said Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group. “We want to encourage everyone to enjoy drinking Clique Vodka while they are out celebrating and to remember to let us get them home safely.”

In order to obtain a free cab ride, you will need to call Yellow Cab and request “Clique Vodka, take me home”. The free cab ride will be valid within a 5-mile pick-up radius of downtown Pittsburgh, dropping off no further than 15-miles outside of the city. The cab ride has to be going to a residential location. It will not work from bar to bar.

Clique Vodka also owns the iPhone App ‘DrinkyPal’. It is their social responsibility app to get you home safely. Even if you’re not celebrating in Pittsburgh, you can utilize that app nationally to access the closest taxi and/or hotel number to get home safely as well.

Premier Innovations Group decided to partner with Stewart, Murray & Assoc. Law Group, as both companies are dedicated to promoting a safe, and healthy New Year’s celebration.

“Stewart, Murray & Associates is delighted to be partnering with Clique Vodka,” said Jonathan Stewart, Managing Partner of SM&A Law Group. “We are looking forward to offering our good neighbors and fellow residents of the Greater Pittsburgh region a free alternative to driving under the influence this upcoming New Year’s Eve. Happy Holidays everyone.”

Message from the CEO / Summer 2013

Time is flying by and the summer is here again. It has been a complete whirlwind since my last message, when we were just rolling out the new black bottles of Clique Vodka in late January. Now, several months later we have had some significant time to see its early magnitude in the industry. We continue to grow, learn and watch as the dramatic facelift spurs positive explosive change, interest and feedback. Our business is coming alive and blossoming like the trees we see around us this summer.

Like our Premier culture, it is strong roots that keep those trees blossoming and healthy, changing and growing each season. Our root structure is the Premier business model that is forming and growing stronger, maturing underground.

Not for long will our roots be underground, as an announcement to expand and acquire a new brand of distilled spirit will hit the press soon. It is a move that will change the industry and of course the quality of life for our Premier family. It will represent a strategic partnership that will change the game and define and foreshadow the power of a portfolio building, global import export alcoholic beverage brand builder.

As we prepare to source a new brand, I’m proud to announce that this week I leave for Switzerland followed by the visitation of our current partners in the Baltic’s. It is so important to us to keep our relationships strong globally, as we focus on new ventures together.

Currently, our total team commitment is on the continued growth of our distribution model. We are just now starting to experience the strong expansion and interest out there for Clique.  The strength and conviction of our product packaging has brought many new deals our way. Now we look to show the amazing value to the world.

Growth of sales in Pennsylvania and West Virginia have been strong as Philadelphia has become a major focus. Total Wine & More’s presence has done wonders for exposure throughout the U.S. In the next few months, we will be announcing the launch of three new major city markets in the U.S. for us in distribution. These areas represent the hotbeds of the trends. Many countries have been sampling, getting import permits and signing agreements to distribute our fine product as a new addition to their portfolio. These deals will be announced to the public in the next few months as well as we move closer to fiscal stability with strong inventory holdings.

Here at Premier, we remain humble and thankful for all of our amazing support that is currently so abundant. Our door is always open to help from anyone that wants to be part of our amazing movement. Your interest and support that grows dramatically every day is the reason for the success we are experiencing. We are thankful to our investors, partners and consumers representing the lifeblood of our fine company. Please continue to participate as we create action and give you more to be proud of this summer.

I’m proud to say I feel we have done all we can to show everyone around us in the community that we care. Our focus on corporate and social responsibility continues as we sponsor hundreds of charities. For us to keep moving up, we must ask for one more thing from our consumer friends. Please realize that moderation and responsibility are the keys to Premier longevity. The summer has so many opportunities to be outdoors enjoying a refreshing Clique or Don cocktail.  Many of these great recipes are posted in our new Clique Vodka online Mixbook. That being the case, as I always end, I want to remind everyone to remember to Clique intelligently and drink Don dubiously this summer.

 

Sharing In Success,

Premier Innovations Group Promotes Social Responsibility with the 2.0 Release of Smart Phone App ‘DrinkyPal’

February 15, 2013—Premier Innovations Group, who own the brands Clique Vodka and Don Pantaleon Tequila, believes that with every alcohol promotion must come a social responsibility resource as well. The company owns the iPhone App ‘DrinkyPal’, which is a free download on the iTunes App store.

The DrinkyPal app lets users pull up a list of the nearest taxi companies and the nearest list of hotels to help prevent drinking and driving. You can now book a hotel room directly from your phone within the application, as well as call the taxi company directly. This iPhone app is available nationwide and works based off of the iPhone’s GPS system. DrinkyPal is available in the Apple iTunes Store for free, as well as a link from the scanned QR Code on the back of our Clique Vodka bottle.

Nationally, alcohol-related deaths declined in 2010* by 4.9%. However, they still made up 31% of the overall traffic fatalities in 2010. In 2010, there were 12,426 alcohol-related vehicle accidents in Pennsylvania, which was a decrease from 2009 (12,712).

“Upon redeveloping DrinkyPal, my focus was to make an already socially responsible drinking app more fun and interactive for the user”, said Joel Kamensky, VP of Design for Premier Innovations Group. “The purpose of DrinkyPal is to allow the user to upload and share photos with our built in camera and browse the photo newsfeed, all while being able to book a hotel or call a taxi within minutes of where they are. If our app helps even a handful of people to ‘clique intelligently’, then we’ve done our part.”

We are so proud of our branding department for putting together an application with cutting edge technology towards better safety against the potentially dangerous effects of alcohol consumption” stated Noah Cohen, CEO of Premier Innovations Group.

Holiday Successes

The winter begins and the end of the year holidays and festivities will be arriving. At Premier Innovations Group, we are preparing ourselves for an explosive 2012. New traditional media campaigns will be noticeable as we enter the biggest time of year for liquor sales. The launching of Clique Vodka in a new state seems like a common occurrence that leads us to the cultivation of lucrative new partnerships adding to our family. It is eminent that we will expand our foothold throughout many new states including presence in the West Coast in 2012.

We are committed to providing our customers a portfolio of great valued brands, and the brainstorming and planning of new brands is a key focus for Premier Innovations Group. Our investors can also be excited about time we are putting toward the importing services for other clients and an exciting year of growth revenue ahead

Holidays are a great time to unwind with our friends and family with a fine libation or two. We choose Clique Vodka and Don Pantaleon Tequila not just because we own them, but because as an international importer we had the opportunity to import and develop any formula with a blank canvas of components and we chose these products because we love them. We stand behind them. We encourage you this holiday to “put our products to the test”; you will not be disappointed. Instead, you will be pleasantly surprised by superb quality and value unprecedented in an industry run by companies who focus more on their bottom line than what’s best for their customers.

Our Premier family wants to wish all of you a wonderful, safe and careful holiday stemming from awareness of your surroundings and focus on responsibility. Abusing alcohol and inappropriate indulging ruins our culture and brings a bad name to an amazing industry that we want to enjoy together for years to come. We are asking for your support in drinking Clique Vodka intelligently and Don Pantaleon Tequila dubiously this holiday season.

Yours In Success,
Noah Cohen (CEO)

New State Expansions

Fall has arrived and so has the first growth stage in the pursuit of corporate excellence for our company. There are many great triumphs to recognize and our organization prides itself on the passionate performance of our team. Expansion of our foothold is the current key to sustainability and remains our biggest focus. Shifts in the liquor industry and new developments with debt financing through strategic legal structure alliances and funding partners out of Colorado have led us to developing new programs that rush the time line for new markets.

We have had many offers from out of state distributors and broker relationships are being molded. Pennsylvania store locations carrying Clique Vodka rise to over 300 state-wide. Growth of Don Pantaleon is building, proving to be a crowd pleaser with amazing taste boasting incredible value. Sales increase as state expansions continue. West Virginia opens its doors to our fine products. Tennessee sales are growing dramatically and we are proud of our wonderful relationships with our new wholesaler. Ohio will be ready soon. New York and Florida relationships are coming together. Our travels to the West coast open the doors to Nevada and California, which will be our next targets.

As our team prepares for the unveiling of our new national marketing campaign, we feel that our stockholders can feel strong and proud to be involved in such a creative organization with great cultural structure and foundation

As the CEO of our company, I am honored to have the opportunity to work with a fine team with such solid brands that we stand behind. We want to thank everyone for their ongoing support in our rise and expansion. We encourage you to reach out to us and engage yourself in our movement in any way. We welcome your interaction as a corporately and socially responsible company. As I always do, I’d like to end by reminding everyone that drinking can be dangerous when done irresponsibly. This business can be fun and enjoyable with maturity and understanding. Enjoy the changes of fall and remember to Clique intelligently and drink Don dubiously.

Yours In Success,
Noah Cohen (
CEO)

In house Growth

The warm weather is here and it is a time of amazing growth for Premier. We are proud to recognize the official hiring of our new Promo Model Manager and Director of Public Relations. We are very excited about these positions and feel strongly about our choices.

Thanks to our consumers, product sales are picking up. The new face-lifted Clique Vodka is hitting shelves as we speak and we are excited about the new imagery and its effect on the public. I want to challenge you to look for a value as good as ours in the liquor market place. Even with a strong package upgrade, we see no need to raise our prices. We want to be affordable to allow any consumer indulge in fine premium products with a great look at an amazing price.

Recently, we have been renovating our new 6000 square foot corporate headquarters in the Pittsburgh Strip District. Currently we are only partially using our facility until the work is done in the next few weeks. We feel the large size of the space will be a foreshadowing of the growth of our company and our team.

At Premier, we encourage you as the public to get involved. We want to urge you to join us on our social media pages and become part of the Premier movement. Feel free to inquire any time and enjoy our products. With summer comes many parties and the desire for refreshing cocktails. At Premier, we are responsible socially and corporately and we expect you to be mature and use great self control while drinking. I want to wish everyone a great summer and I want to remind everyone to clique intelligently and drink Don dubiously.

Yours In Success,
Noah Cohen (

Spring Changes

Spring is arriving and just like the changing of the seasons, many things in Premier are changing. The growth stage is apparent and business is in a whirlwind, as I always say. Our team gives their best not to get caught up in it. March was full of events and we experienced significant sales department growth and discovery. April brings travels to Eastern Europe and new innovations in packaging and international relationships are being cultivated. The new product for Clique Vodka will be on its way and we look forward to its new facelift. We encourage you as our visiting, new, and existing customers, friends and supporters, to enjoy our products and events. We invite you to look for us and inquire no matter where you are in the US. We are quickly expanding our footprint into promising new state markets and are constantly looking for our next hot spot.

The spirits business is an ever-changing industry and we promise to be on top of the trends. We want you to remember that our major focus continues to be providing great value with our products and services.

As always, I want to thank everyone for your support and your acknowledgement of our fine project and remind you all to drink Don dubiously and Clique intelligently during your spring relaxation libations.

Yours In Success,
Noah Cohen (
CEO)
