Excerpt from my letter to Hemp Black on the "Contact Us" page (https://hempblack.com/pages/contact)
WHAT IS THE POINT OF PROMOTING:
1. Paper socks made from banana trees: https://hempblack.com/blogs/news/paper-project-odorless-all-day-comfort-socks
We are going to make socks, right? WHY are you promoting some crowd funded alternative to our products?
2. A hummus recipe without a single atom of hemp in it? https://hempblack.com/blogs/news/heidi-s-avocado-hummus
WHY? The Ananda Food website has a perfectly good hummus recipe that includes both dehulled hemp seed and hemp oil--things WE SELL. What is the point of this?
3. Here's some hypocracy: https://hempblack.com/blogs/news/greenwashing-stains-the-planet
Quote:
"Too Much Green
Most companies that are eco-friendly, do not throw it in your face. If a product has images of leaves, forests, is green, or seems to be touting its sustainability a little too hard, be sure to investigate."
Well, the web page that is written on is is GREEN, and the site is (rightfully) covered with hemp plants and is (rightfully) all about sustainability.Oh, and the article doesn't have ANYTHING to do with hemp, or our products or our processes.
So WHY is this article here?Who's dumb ideas are these?
4.https://hempblack.com/blogs/news/at-home-shrink-test
No hemp content at all.It's about washing your clothes?
5."Parks on Tap".No Hemp content.
"No Need to Stop Shopping"Oh, we're telling people to buy USED clothing instead of the BRAND NEW hemp clothes we will be selling?No hemp content either
"Back to School".No hemp content at all.Why is it here?
"Bars of Everything"No hemp content.Don't we sell soap through Ananda?Not a whisper about that.
"Orange you Innovative".No hemp content.A COMPETING FIBRE?Coke telling you to buy a Pepsi?We are in pain here now.
"Paper Project":This is the absolute worst thing and whomever is allowing this should be investigated for conflicts of interest and potentially fired for cause.Your job is to increase OUR STOCK PRICE, not send money and clients to "KickStarter Projects".
Restaurant reviews? Philadelphia? Why? Is the hemp coming from Philadelphia?
The hemp comes from Kentucky.The money to pay the marketing department comes from Australia.The customers will come from all over the world.What's all this about restaurants in Philadelphia?Why is our money being used to promote restaurants in Philadelphia, kickstarter projects for competitive products, recipes that don't include the ingredients we manufacture?
The stock price went down 5% the day after the "Hemp Black" Blog was released (with a security bug).I'm not saying that's WHY almost $50 million disappeared from the market cap overnight.
But it sure didn't help.
