Reeds makes great products but it does a poor job of distributing them. Members of the current board who have no investment in Reeds and who make a pittance for being directors should be replaced with fully invested directors who have an incentive to offer advice. They should also have relevant experience and connections to move the product. Our products should each be evaluated on a cost/benefit basis. Those with little potential should be dropped and new products with greater potential should be added.

For example, I drink a smoothie every morning with Reeds Culture Club Kombucha, chia and black sesame seeds, protein powderspirulinabananas, and a little frozen mango. Wouldn’t it be great to avoid all that mixing and to be able to just crack open a bottle of Reeds green power blast? Vote for proxy access and we can move our company forward into a brighter future.
