DENVER, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DC Brands International, Inc., a publicly reporting company under the ticker symbol (OTC:HRDN), today announced that the media test of the new offer and latest airing of the Fat Fighter infomercial has resulted in a 74% increase of units shipped in comparison to the initial airing and media test in November of 2011.

Richard Pearce, President and CEO said, "I am so pleased to be able to announce that this latest airing of the infomercial and subsequent media test gave us a significant increase in the number of units moved. The response to this campaign almost doubled the number of units that were shipped when compared to the initial airing and media test last year. That initial campaign resulted in 381 units, and this time around we moved a total of 663 units. That's a whopping 74% increase. This significant success is a direct result of our effort to optimize our media expenditure by combining the national cable airings with a direct e-mail campaign, conducted for us by Affiliate.com. This combined approach allowed us to gain what we believed was the widest exposure and most efficient and cost beneficial campaign for our dollars spent. In the latest campaign we offered a 7 day trial offer for $9.95 as opposed to the initial offer that asked our customer to purchase two to three cases of Fat Fighter and Cleanz+ for a cost between $100 and $150. I believe that this new offer directly contributed to the increased response we experienced."

Pearce continued, "We are seeing a significant increase in our continuity program, and I anticipate that will also translate into continued reorders, and customers trying other HARD Nutrition functions, as we continue this combined approach. I am very encouraged that our sales will continue to increase, since the fact is that in this media test we only spent approximately twenty-five percent of the amount that we outlayed for the initial airing last year, and yet realized such a drastic improvement."
