2T Water is Gaining Momentum
As smaller brands struggle to secure a place in the “water world”, 2T Water has carved out its path in a field full of competitors. The southeast continues to be introduced to this new brand that’s all about delivering "Better Water, Better Health”. 2T Water has remained consistent over the last few years while focusing on building a brand from the ground up employing a strong grassroots approach. The food and beverage industry is one of the toughest businesses to be in due to extreme levels of controlled distribution and lofty fees associated with product entry. However, 2T Water is proving that it is possible to create a space for your business in the industry without overspending or outpacing its growth. The brand has built retail partnerships across many channels including grocery, natural foods, fitness, vending, and convenient stores. Much of this has been accomplished through face-to-face interactions and simple hand-shakes.
The brand has several new distribution outlets coming in 2019. It’s in negotiations with several of its current partners including RaceTrac on expansion into other areas of their footprint. It has out-performed many other waters within the category and it’s currently the top-selling brand in Amy’s Natural Foods enhanced water segment. “We have organically built our brand with our own team and with limited mass marketing. I’m expecting big results when we finally expand our distribution and increase our marketing efforts later this year” shared Eric Wells, CEO - 2T Water.
Currently, the bulk of the brand’s sales is coming from southeast and midwest retailers across all channels with convenient and grocery stores leading the way. It is important to note that the brand has experienced a 63% increase in its fitness center partnerships. Approximately 23% of company sales are done online through its direct shipping option. The company continues to do a great job maximizing product placement in many different channels which showcases its ability to scale in a number of ways. Eric also shared that the brand is planning to have its 2nd private investment round in November 2018 for the upcoming new year.

Its 0 calorie and 0 sugar proposition blended with the hair, skin, and nail super vitamin makes it a prime draw to consumers on a health frenzy.
“We are excited to work with the JTM Corporation. This is great for our brand and it shows that we are fully committed to offering better-for-you beverages to everyone. They really understood the direction we wanted to go in by providing healthier options to metro and rural areas. The JTM Corporation has built a successful enterprise based on providing quality products at great prices. They will instantly strengthen our distribution channel in the southeast while providing customers with a premium beverage option.

Eric started the company in 2013 with the launch of a premium spring water, 2T Water H2O®. He and a college friend continues to build the brand from the ground up. In 2015, Eric developed a proprietary formula and launched 2T Biotin Water® which gave the brand a solid differentiation point from competitors. The product quickly began moving off the shelves and retailers answered with re-orders. This recent agreement will allow the company to expand its product offerings to four flavors. 2T Biotin Water® Cucumber-Melon is set to launch Jan 2018 while giving the brand a larger shelf presence. “We are still a very young company in the beverage industry and it’s important to build out your distribution network slow and steady in order to maintain long-term success,” says Eric.
The company has additional partnership agreements with other retailers that will be announced near the end of the year. This agreement was negotiated as a warehouse deal which allowed Eric and his team to capture multiple stores within different regions. The JTM Corporation will be responsible for shipping the product to all stores which guarantees placement and marketing support through The Alabama Distribution Company. 2T Biotin Water® will be positioned as a new featured item in all locations to enhance visibility and brand promotion. Eric also shared that in the coming weeks, his team will devise a great marketing strategy to support each location on a local level. “We have to share the health benefits of 2T Biotin Water® with these communities so they know why it’s a better option. I don’t want it to be a drink that they tried once, I want it to be a part of their daily health regimen,” said Eric.
With 2T Water’s growth the parent company The 2T Enterprises, Inc is now seeking a headquarter location in the Atlanta area to migrate all operations into one central hub. The location will serve as the central distribution point for all company products and business ventures. The company has also started a management division for other brands seeking guidance with their product or services. It has a long-term goal of becoming a full one-stop shop business management center that handles product development, marketing, distribution, sales, and retail management.

Based on an increasing demand from retailers and consumers 2T Biotin Water® has found a niche that screams “more.” It’s not too often that young brands see success so quickly in this space especially with little to no help from big industry names.

This year we will have a larger store presence at some of our key retailers to maximize sales. Customers are registering with our product and biotin is the key ingredient. Our brand is coming off of our best year (2016) and now into the best new year start in the company’s history. We are at the point where the brands Vitamin Water, Smart Water, and Bai were in their early stages. They all had to prove themselves and we are doing that while maintaining our full equity stake. 2T Biotin Water® is made with better ingredients while offering a 0 sugar and 0 calorie proposition. We believe in having good retail partners who want to grow with us. We have stayed consistent with our partners so they know that we are committed,” said Rodney.
