Great Soda

At Jones Soda Co. one of our goals is to create an

incredible brand that has an emotional connection

with the consumer in a positive and fun way. Another

one of our goals is to be an important part of the

Premium Soda and Carbonated Soft Drink categories

of the beverage industry – categories that generate

over 82 billion dollars in annual sales. So far so good.

Great tasting products and unique package design gave the Jones brand

a personality all its own. Add solid manufacturing, distributing and

marketing knowledge and that becomes a very powerful personality.

Throw fun into the equation and you have the Jones Soda Co. formula

for success.

We are the only independent manufacturer to focus exclusively on the

youth demographic and our products are accepted and respected by this

important market segment. Entrepreneurial enthusiasm backed by

knowledge, experience and solid business practices gives Jones Soda Co.

the ability to create products and profits.

Innovation, image and impact. That’s why distributors choose Jones. That’s

why retailers choose Jones, and that’s why an ever-increasing number of

consumers continue to choose Jones.

At Jones Soda Co. we love what we do. And our consumers love

what we do. Life is good.

Find something you love and work hard at it. That’s

the Jones Soda Co. way. You have to believe in

yourself. When we launched Jones Soda we thought

it would be a good idea to put pictures on the labels.

It was a good idea.

We always knew it was going to take more than great taste to get noticed.

While our product development experts stayed up late perfecting our

first flavors, our in-house design team developed a packaging concept

that would stand out from the crowd.

The effort was worth it. Jones Soda does taste great, and the product did

get noticed. Cult status is an unusual term for the beverage industry, but

not when you’re talking Jones. Our first labels are now highly sought

after collector’s items, and at last count we have received millions of

photos from our fans around the world.

We don’t need a focus group to determine which label design will resonate

with our core consumer. The images sent to us are a true reflection of

the lives and lifestyles of our greatest fans.

While the look of our product is constantly changing, our line of flavors

has had a few surprises as well. Founding flavors like Cream Soda and

Root Beer have been joined by a few Jones originals like Green Apple,

Fufu Berry and Blue Bubblegum. And our latest great-tasting addition to

the Jones Soda Co. product line is a sugar-free version of Jones Soda.

3. Be patient. We get thousands

and thousands of pictures sent to

us. It takes time for our specially

trained elite picture picking team

to do their work.

Page 5: Jones Soda Brochure 2005

Alternative culture is our mainstream. We understand

it because we’re part of it. When we started out, we

looked for sales opportunities that made sense to

us. Skate and snowboard shops, tattoo parlors, hair

salons, record stores and bike shops were among

our first retailers. Boarders, bikers, musicians and

filmmakers were among our first customers.

And we didn’t stop there. We took our products to the people. We painted

up a couple of RVs and hit the road. At sports events, concerts, county fairs

and festivals, Jones was there. Today the Jones RVs continue racking up

the miles as our tireless team criss-crosses the country spreading the word

about Jones. And our sampling van is guerilla marketing at its finest,

providing high-impact retail support.

We were one of the first companies to recognize and sponsor alternative

athletes, and our support paid off. Today, the Jones label defines excellence

in alternative sports.

Many of the athletes we support are at the top of the professional game. But

at Jones we continue to return to our roots. Our Emerging Athletes program

keeps us in touch with the stars of tomorrow while helping to maintain our

constant connection to the ever-changing world of popular culture.

While our athletes always draw a crowd, at Jones Soda Co. we feel that

there is more to life than biking and boarding. Our Local Heroes program

supports young people who have a positive message to deliver. At schools,

community centers and youth clubs, Jones Local Heroes are spreading the

word, encouraging kids with a message that is pure Jones. That leading

is better than following, that it’s okay to be unique, and that working hard

and having fun is a combination that is pretty tough to beat.

Athletes, Events & Communities

Jones Soda travels well. Around the world,

our sponsored athletes always travel with a Jones.

It’s the international sign for friendship.

Alternative sports equal energy and excitement.

Sponsorship of leading alternative athletes has been

a part of Jones Soda Co. since we put our first picture

on a label.

The good people at Monster Garage took one of our

RVs and turned it into a skate ramp. They liked it so much,

they put it in their museum. But don’t worry, we still have

RVs and a sampling van bringing product to the people.

It’s tomorrow’s music today

at myjonesmusic.com, a place for

independent artists to upload

their latest tunes. The cutting

edge just got a whole lot sharper.

It takes time to become

a household name. Our

emerging athletes aren’t

there yet, but we’re doing

our part to help them along.

list of the amazing talent

that we are proud to be

associated with.

Reacting to the present is one way of doing business,

but at Jones Soda Co. we believe that understanding

the future is an even better way. A lot of people

thought the dawn of the Internet meant the demise

of traditional retail. Not our consumers.

Our target audience grew up in an online world. The Internet wasn’t a

replacement for the mall, it was a place to connect, a place to share ideas,

a place to build communities. And we have a few of them.

Jonessoda.com is our online community, where our consumers interact

directly with the company. Forums and weblogs provide a point of contact.

Customers follow the activities of the Jones RV Team, our elite sponsored

bikers and boarders, our emerging athletes and the members of the

Jones Local Heroes program. And at jonessodastore.com you can purchase

our full product line as well as exclusive Jones gear including hats, hoodies,

t-shirts and calendars.

Through myjones.com, our patented online customization site,

anyone can have their picture on a Jones Soda label. Our streamlined

system allows us to quickly create orders as small as a single case. We

have shipped custom products around the world for parties, weddings,

anniversaries and just for fun.

Myjonesmusic.com is your window to the world of independent music.

Post your songs, listen to some tunes. For musicians and music lovers it’s

another way to connect and communicate.

The Internet never did replace retail, but it did change the way we do

business and at Jones Soda Co. it’s been a natural part of our evolution.

Like-minded Brands & Alternative Accounts

At Jones Soda Co. we were distributors first. We

know what distributors need. Distributors need

proof. Distributors need consistency. When we

launched our own brand, we wanted to prove that

we knew our market. We wanted to prove that

we could deliver.

We took Jones Soda to the street. One neighborhood at a time, one city

at a time, we worked hard to establish the Jones Soda brand. From corner

stores and coffeehouses to record stores and hair salons, the Jones cooler

became a common sight. Our launch strategy was a success and Jones

Soda quickly became a nationally distributed brand.

Alternative marketing opportunities and strategic partnerships remain

an important part of our business. Starbucks, Panera Bread Company,

Microsoft, Mattel, Barnes & Noble, Nintendo and Honda are just a few

of the companies that have teamed up with Jones Soda Co. in a variety

of marketing and promotional efforts.

Our new fridge pack takes a dozen cans of Jones and wraps them in

a brightly colored package covered with our already famous Jones

photos. This ever-changing package hit the mark with Target Stores

across the country.

And while we still take our products to the people, our national network

of distributors plays a key role in our success. Jones is a premium soda

that attracts a premium price and that gives distributors another thing

they need – a profit.

Our 12 can fridge pack

is neat and convenient.

It’s a many flavored world at

You can find Jones

ordinary soda. So keep

your eyes open; you

never know where we’ll

pop up next.

At Jones Soda we celebrate every season.

Our Limited Edition Holiday Pack had five festive

flavors – including Turkey and Gravy Soda and

Mashed Potato and Butter Soda. It was a hit – and

all the money went to Toys for Tots.

Nintendo wanted something super

special for the launch of Star Fox

Adventures, so they included Jones

Soda in a kit available at 500 Circuit

City stores.

At Jones Soda, we play well

with others. When Mattel made

a limited edition Hot Wheels car

of our custom Skate Ramp RV,

we sold all 5,000 through our

website in a single day.

We plan to take over

the country one soda at

a time. With Jones Soda

available through leading

national retailers like

Starbucks and Target

Stores, you can reach for

a Jones wherever life

takes you.

Jones Soda Co. Product Line

The more things change, the more they stay the

same. That saying is a good deal older than the

Jones Soda Co. but it certainly sums up our way of

doing business.

Our product line is always evolving. Our labels change and our flavors

change. We started with a premium soda. We have added juice, energy

drinks and a sugar-free version of Jones. And our latest offering is a mid-

cal soda. Watermelon, Tangerine, Blueberry and Twisted Lime flavors

have already hit the shelves.

Those are things that changed. Some of the things that have stayed the

same include the philosophy behind our business. Our commitment to

creating an incredible brand, to making an emotional connection with

our consumer.

The confidence to stand apart in the New Age Beverage category, which

generates16 billion in annual sales, gave Jones Soda an outstanding

introduction to the marketplace. Today we are a full-line manufacturer

in the Carbonated Soft Drink category - an industry segment that generates

66 billion dollars in annual sales.

But most important of all is our continued commitment to grow a stable,

profitable business because at Jones Soda Co. we know that that is the

one thing that can make anything possible.
