Question 1

How is FreeWater free?

Accepted Answer

FreeWater is paid for by ads that are printed directly onto eco-friendly cans and cartons. Ten cents per beverage is donated to charity.

Question 2

Will you ship FreeWater to me?

Accepted Answer

No, as an early-stage startup, shipping a heavy and bulky product like water in small quantities is very costly and bad for the environment. However, we are currently shipping large orders of FreeWater B2B to advertiser/distributors.

Question 3

Why BPA free?

Accepted Answer

The majority of bottled water is contaminated with the chemical BPA. High levels of BPA have been linked to diseases such as hormonal disruption, diabetes, high blood pressure, infertility, breast cancer, and hazardous effects on the brain and behavior of infants and young children.

Question 4

Why aluminum cans and paper-based cartons?

Accepted Answer

Looking carefully at the pros and cons of both aluminum cans and paper cartons, we know neither is perfect - but both are far better for the environment than plastic bottles. Our long- term goal is to cultivate, manufacture, fill, and distribute all our beverages in 100% hemp cartons from the same location.

Question 5

Can I invest in FreeWater?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are currently in our SEED round and are accepting investments as small as $10,000 and our valuation as of April 26, 2022 is $10,000,000.

Question 6

What charities do you donate to?

Accepted Answer

We are currently contributing our donations to Well Aware (wellawareworld.org). Well Aware is known for drilling quality wells and boast a 100% success rate.

Question 7

How much does it cost to advertise?

Accepted Answer

It depends on several factors: 1) Aluminum bottles or paper cartons? 2) The number of units? 3) Are we distributing the water or are you distributing the water? 4) The location of distribution? 5) Do you have a graphic designer on staff or do you need us to design it for you? 6) Are you splitting the ad space with someone else?   Generally speaking, the aluminum bottles have a much smaller MOQ, but we don't recommend that you order less than a pallet which is 1680 beverages. At such small quantity, the cost per beverage will be roughly $1.60 + shipping. We can theoretically manufacture as small as a 24 pack, but all the one-time manufacturing fees will ensure that the cost is roughly $350 + shipping.   Paper cartons have a much larger MOQ of 10k units, but they have the most ad space and start at $1.00 + shipping.

Question 8

How long does it take to place an advertising order?

Accepted Answer

Aluminum Bottles- Roughly six weeks from design approval and payment. However, you should always place your order as far in advance as possible if you have a time sensitive project.  Boxed Water- The boxed water supply chain was negatively effected by the pandemic. The current lead time for boxed water is 5 months. However, as of 4/26/2022 the supply chain issues look like they are being solved and we are hoping the lead time in the near future will be 100 days and eventually back to the normal 6 week lead time.

Question 9

How does FreeWater compare to other advertising mediums?

Accepted Answer

FreeWater is the best brand loyalty platform on Earth and there are unique opportunities to incorporate this new and exciting medium into most ad budgets. We will ultimately prove that this medium has a much higher ROI than Direct Mail and is currently much cheaper per ten impressions. However, in the earliest days of this project we wouldn't recommend this medium to anyone with an ad budget that is less than $1000.

Question 10

What features are possible when someone scans a QR code?

Accepted Answer

The possibilities are endless and are only bound by your imagination. Here are just a few examples of special features FreeWater advertisers can offer: collect coupons, watch videos, breaking news, order food, donate now, surveys, register to vote, powerpoint presentations, send or receive value, social media features, humanitarian aid features, military features, VR, AR, XR, or download music, movies, tv shows, video games, and software. We create custom solutions for every brand's needs!

Question 11

How does your partnership program work?

Accepted Answer

FreeWater partners are local individuals, businesses, and organizations that are interested in freely distributing FreeWater to their audience. Ideally, FreeWater partners have the ability to line up advertisers and have a distribution location in mind. In that situation, partners can choose the types of advertisements that are printed on the beverages and we will compensate them up to ten cents for each unit they freely distribute. The amount of compensation per beverage is based on several factors, but primarily quantity and location. All orders of 100,000 or more are guaranteed to receive a ten cents per unit commission.   There are certain situations in which we will be willing to compensate up to ten cents per beverage even if the partner is unable to line up the advertisers themselves. This potential partnership will be based on location, audience, frequency, and our ability to find the right advertiser to fulfill that niche.

Question 12

Can I use FreeWater as a fundraising tool?

Accepted Answer

We will create special partnerships for 501(c)(3) organizations or any other positive community outlets such as church groups, sports programs, and schools. Partners who are using FreeWater as a fundraiser must be able to sell all the ad space themselves and we will contribute between ten and twenty five cents per beverage to the partner depending on the quantity and the price at which the product is sold.

Question 13

What roles are FreeWater currently trying to fill?

Accepted Answer

A seasoned sales manager with experience building and managing teams.     Due to the nature of our business models being the combination of hardware, software, and distribution we are only looking for candidates who are located in Austin Texas at this time.

Question 14

Question 15

Accepted Answer

Question 16
