Reinstatement of Volume-Oriented Pricing Strategies New pricing matrix that utilizes periods of Trade Spend as a partner to our retailers. Focus on flavors that consumers are looking for Jones will always be about unique innovative flavors but we will emphasize and feature our flavors that have greater consumer appeal. Overhaul of our sales force Sales team was depleted in early 2010, lacking leadership and direction. Bring leadership into the group and add accountability and bodies. Move toward hybrid distribution system Our distribution decisions going forward will be what works best for the retailer, which means a mix between DSD and direct distribution of our Products.
