• Vocal’s monthly Challenges offering Jerrick’s “most important product update” according to management, allowing brands to reach their target customers, interact with them authentically
• Vocal creators incentivized to participate in Challenges by opportunities to win prizes, experiences, collaborate with their favorite brands

In a mutually beneficial move for Vocal creators, brand partners and the Vocal platform itself, Jerrick Media Holdings Inc. (OTC: JMDA) recently released their latest revenue-generating feature, Challenges. Hosted on Vocal, Jerrick’s proprietary long form publishing platform, Challenges were introduced as themed story contests that inspire the creators and authentically engage with Vocal’s creators through crowdsourced native content creation (http://ibn.fm/46r7A).

Based on the understanding that creating on a consistent basis is not always easy, Challenges provides monthly themes – or prompts – designed to spark Vocal community members on their creative quests and continue the platform’s dynamic accrual of consumer content. Some Challenges will be in partnership with brands and organizations that value community building and rewarding creativity just like Vocal does. Jerrick is committed to maintaining an ad-free platform for community members, so sponsoring Challenges allows admirable brands to interact with the varied Vocal creator community in a noninvasive way that adds value to both parties.

Jerrick recognizes that creativity comes in all shapes and sizes – and there’s no right way to tell a story. Each Challenge is designed to inspire unique and individual creativity, but because prizes are involved, some judgment must be made. Challenge judging will be based on four criteria (http://ibn.fm/JnzIw):

• Creativity and originality. Is the story memorable, original, relatable, or does it otherwise stand out for any reason?
• Is it funny? Is it moving? Is it inspiring? Is the creative content invoking the emotional response the Challenge asks for?
• Writing and storytelling skill. Is the story well written and engaging? Is it aesthetically pleasing? Has the creator made good use of videos, music or other media?
• Does it fit the brief? How well does the submission address what the Challenge outlined?

Challenge winners will be notified, and prizes differ based on the Challenges. In reality, however, all those who enter will be rewarded for their submissions because, just like everything creators publish on Vocal, the platform pays creators for the engagement produced from the stories they enter. That means that Challenge participants earn and collect tips from fans on each story they create, regardless of whether they win any official prizes.

Vocal’s first-month Challenge themes include Mobile Moments, a partner Challenge with a company called Moment that invites creators to share a favorite smartphone photo along with the story behind it; Locals Only, a Challenge encouraging creators to show off hidden spots in their hometowns; and Behind the Beat, a music-focused contest exclusive to Vocal+ members that looks at the songs that have changed creators’ lives. Complete information about the Challenges can be found at http://ibn.fm/onEFg.

“Challenges are the most important product update introduced into Vocal to date, allowing creators to connect with brands in an authentic, non-interruptive way that builds brand love and affinity while simultaneously giving creators more of what they love about Vocal–monetization and discovery,” said Jerrick president and Vocal founder Justin Maury.

Challenges is just the latest innovation from Jerrick, and yet another indication of the company’s impressive capacity to recognize what the world of online creators and brands is looking for, meeting the need in an innovative and valuable way. The new competition showcases the company’s unique ability to leverage the power of its Vocal community of creators and host unique content experiences that drive success and value for all parties involved in its ecosystem: brands, creators, and audiences.

Jerrick Media Holdings is focused on the development of digital communities, targeted marketing of branded digital content and e-commerce opportunities. To accomplish these objectives, Jerrick envisions, designs and builds modern technology companies that redefine how people interact with technology. As the parent company of Vocal, Jerrick has built and shipped products that have influenced millions of people worldwide.

• Direct-sales model offers list of powerful benefits, including long-term supplemental income, flexibility and discounted products
• More than 42 million people worldwide involved in direct selling, worldwide sales reach $190 billion
• SHRG subsidiary building most rewarding direct-sales opportunity for those looking to join billion-dollar opportunity

A growing number of entrepreneurs around the world are turning to direct selling as a way to obtain long-term supplemental income, enjoy flexibility and purchase products at a discount – just a few of the benefits of direct selling, according to the Direct Selling Association (http://ibn.fm/rRlfM). Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a diversified holding company that focuses on direct selling, is seeing a rising number of individuals join the SHRG ranks as the company offers comprehensive support and a compelling line of products designed to ensure the success of these eager entrepreneurs.

According to the DSA’s report, titled ‘Direct Selling: An Accessible Path to Entrepreneurship’, direct selling is a business opportunity that “offers entrepreneurial opportunities to individuals as independent contractors to market and/or sell products and services, typically outside of a fixed retail establishment, through one-to-one selling, in-home product demonstrations or online.”

The direct-sales model and benefits are appealing to a growing number of people. In 2018, the number of people involved in direct selling in the United States alone reached more than 42 million, almost more than double the 18.6 million involved in 2017 (http://ibn.fm/dRFMi). Worldwide, that number reached a total of 118.4 million (http://ibn.fm/G8bqI). Sales for the industry in the U.S. totaled $35.4 billion (http://ibn.fm/FgpV2), while global retail sales from direct selling worldwide reached $190 billion (http://ibn.fm/YZRLi).

Sharing Services is committed to building the most rewarding direct-sales opportunity for those who want to become part of this billion-dollar opportunity. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Elepreneurs Inc., SHRG is creating the answer for a new era of individuals in the gig economy who are looking for greater flexibility with income opportunities and the desire for a happier, healthier and wealthier life. Elepreneurs provides its independent sales force with the opportunity to market advanced, trademarked, nutritional products that are formulated for happiness. The proprietary products include scientifically backed ingredients that stimulate happiness hormones – dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins – that the company and its Elepreneurs refer to as D.O.S.E

Those who join the growing ranks of SHRG Elepreneurs are overall an inspiring group. Based on the DSA’s most recent available data, direct sellers are more affluent than the average American, with 58% of direct sellers reporting an average household income of greater than $50,000. Direct sellers are also better educated than the average American, with 99% graduating from high school and 52% earning college degrees.

Headquartered out of a 10,000-square-foot facility in Plano, Texas, SHRG has planned for future expansion as the company grows. Customer-service facilities, operations and training rooms, and a video-production suite are currently available onsite with room for growth in each area. In addition, SHRG is looking forward to international expansion. The company’s line of products is currently available in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

• Strategically intertwining the success of product line with success of independent representatives
• Elevating lives of independent representatives toward happiness, health and wealth
• Tickets available for 2020 Happiness Revolution Convention, April 16-19 in Dallas, Texas

Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a diversified direct-selling company, is elevating the lives of independent representatives and consumers with branded health and wellness products that are scientifically formulated to elevate happiness and well-being by stimulating the brain to release key hormones. Two primary subsidiaries of SHRG work together for maximum shareholder value and to support the single objective of elevating lives: Elevacity Global LLC and Elepreneurs LLC.

With the expertise of food scientists and nutrition experts, Elevacity Global has created a line of products that work to release four key hormones that promote well-being and happiness. This formula is referred to as D.O.S.E., an acronym that refers to the hormones being stimulated: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins.

D.O.S.E. is incorporated into dietary supplements, beverages, vitamin patches and even skin care – all of which can be found at Elevacity.com. However, in an effort to cater to consumers’ desire for a personal, social connection with its salesperson, purchases made online require a referral from an independent representative. If someone happens upon the Elevacity shop without a referral, they will be connected with an independent representative to assist in choosing the best products to achieve their goals. The product brand and the success of SHRG’s independent representatives are strategically intertwined to ensure the success and satisfaction and success of the brand, representative, and customer.

Sharing Services calls its independent representatives Elepreneurs, echoing the company’s objective to elevate the lives of its entrepreneurs. This objective is accomplished through a threefold method that promotes happiness, health and wealth.

Happiness is achieved through the use and word-of-mouth promotion of the Elevacity brand of products that enhances happiness on the cellular level. SHRG believes that an increase in happiness is key in enhancing lives, building a foundation for success and promoting a strong community of like-minded individuals pursuing their dreams.

Health is the second component of SHRG’s model. Positive psychology paired with the release of natural hormones is good for mood and overall health. In 1938 Harvard University began tracking the lives of more than 700 individuals in a study of adult development. “The surprising finding is that our relationships and how happy we are in our relationships has a powerful influence on our health,” Robert Waldinger, director of the study and a psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, noted in a report (http://ibn.fm/auois). “Taking care of your body is important, but tending to your relationships is a form of self-care too. That, I think, is the revelation.”

Community is an essential aspect in the growth of Elepreneurs that is linked to their success and overall happiness. Upon joining Sharing Services, Elepreneurs are immediately connected to a community that supports and cares for them. The company holds a variety of virtual and live events available throughout the country.

One such event, SHRG’s 2020 Happiness Revolution Convention, is scheduled to take place in Dallas, Texas, April 16-19; tickets are currently available at http://ibn.fm/aiM6o. At this event, Elepreneurs will have the opportunity to network and participate in the launch of new products, tools and apparel. Attendees will find plenty of opportunity to grow in community with one another through training workshops and fun events designed to build strong connections.

The third component of SHRG’s model is wealth. At SHRG, wealth is not only financial — although that is a key element in finding freedom as an entrepreneur. Being wealthier is marked by more than earning more dollars, it includes the wealth of friends and resources. Joining the Elepreneur team is multifaceted and is about elevating one’s life, one’s community, one’s relationships, and the happiness and well-being of all.

SHRG is dedicated to elevating the happiness and well-being of its consumers and independent representatives alike. The strategic intertwining of happiness formulated products and relational-based direct marketing is driving the company’s success. As the gig economy continues to expand, SHRG presents a compelling option for investors looking to access the growing direct sales sector.

• Newly appointed CFO rejoins company with plans to roll out national solar brokerage model for residential, commercial consumers
• SING president highlights growth potential of solar industry, dismisses rumors of a reverse stock split
• Solar energy capacity expected to double over next five years according to leading industry association

Following the recent announcement of newly appointed CFO Corey Lambrecht, SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) President Will Ralston appeared in a television interview to discuss the company’s projected increase in 2020 profits through the activities of Direct Solar, its high-performing subsidiary that produced more than $2 million in revenue in the second half of 2019 (http://ibn.fm/7qTxp).

In addition to discussing Direct Solar’s increased revenue potential, Ralston also wrote off any rumors of a reverse split for the company, assuring investors that company officials had “no intentions to do so” unless a compelling reason, such as fulfilling requirements for being listed on a major exchange, necessitated the move.

SinglePoint has a huge base of about 24,000 investors, so interest in the diversified activities of the company continue to gain momentum. Following the key strategic acquisition of Direct Solar in 2019, SING uplisted to the OTCQB and brought back Lambrecht as CFO, bringing the public company expertise required to define new opportunities within the solar market and expand to other areas in the clean and renewable energy space.

Besides serving as a public company executive for several corporations, Lambrecht has extensive experience in strategic acquisitions, new business development, consumer product development, corporate licensing and other key activities associated with new technologies and sustainability. As a certified director from the UCLA Anderson Graduate School of Management, Lambrecht has fulfilled many executive roles with responsibilities that include board communication, daily operations, raising capital, investor relations and corporate communications.

In his role as president and COO at Earth911 Inc., Lambrecht structured the acquisition of Quest Resource Management Group and grew that company’s revenues from less than $10 million at the time of initial investment to over $120 million by providing services to leading companies that divert valuable materials from landfills. In addition, Lambrecht refocused the activities of Earth911 into two key areas: Earth911 Media and Earth911 Recycling Data.

Operating in a synergistic fashion, Earth911 Media is a publishing company focused on waste-reduction topics while Earth911 Recycling Data leverages consumer data for the creation of the iRecycle app, enabling consumers to access location-based information for the purpose of recycling unwanted items. Along with seeing increasing revenue, the company also added prominent national clients to its roster during Lambrecht’s tenure. Those clients included Coke, Lowe’s, Staples, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Johnson & Johnson, ExxonMobil, BP Castrol, Owens-Corning, Behr, the City of Phoenix, PepsiCo, and Unilever. Lambrecht drew correlations between his experience fostering scalability and cultivating revenue growth to what he sees as SinglePoint’s promising future – a future strengthened by the bright success of Direct Solar.

“The disruptive nature of Direct Solar of America’s unique brokerage model is similar to my experiences during my tenure with Earth911 Inc.,” said Lambrecht (http://ibn.fm/em2L8), who added that the industry “will continue to grow over the coming years, and the ability to scale and roll out a national, asset-light brokerage model focused on providing the best solar options for residential and commercial consumers is a compelling business opportunity.”

As a subsidiary of SinglePoint, Direct Solar is a solar energy brokerage that serves both residential and commercial business owners by helping them find and install the best available solar energy systems. According to a report by SEIA, the leading industry association, residential solar saw its best quarter in history in Q3, and that capacity is expected to more than double over the next five years (http://ibn.fm/UBacy).

With an emphasis on new technologies, SinglePoint specializes in acquisitions of undervalued small to mid-sized companies and empowers those companies with the expertise and resources needed to achieve their full potential. The company gives investors the opportunity to diversify their money across a wide range of dynamic industries, including renewable energy, cannabis and payment processing.

• Additive manufacturing for automotive production expected to reach nearly $10 billion in yearly sales by 2030
• Forecasts based primarily on automotive 3D-printing, end-use parts production
• SGLB’s proprietary, real-time, computer-aided, inspection technology enables nondestructive quality assurance during production process

Forecast to see explosive growth in the automotive industry by the year 2030, additive manufacturing (3D printing) provides numerous benefits to auto manufacturers. Much of the anticipated growth is expected to come from end-use parts production, an area where Sigma Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB), the only known producer of quality assurance software for the commercial 3D-printing industry, may provide significant advantages.

A recent 3D Printing Media Network article by Davide Sher reported that “all revenue streams associated to AM for automotive production (not including prototyping) are now expected to add up to nearly $10 billion in total yearly sales by the end of this decade.” This graph illustrates the phenomenal growth projections (http://ibn.fm/TqZG4).

These projections are based primarily on automotive 3D-printing in end-use parts production, which industry experts say is now fully within reach and is going to enable additive manufacturing to finally scale up. The term “end-use parts” indicates both final automotive parts and tools, including molds, dies, jigs and fixtures as well as custom assembly tools that are used in the automotive production process.

Even with the $10-billion industry forecast, the 3D Printing Media Network article noted that the value proposition for additive manufacturing in automotive mass production may still be difficult to accurately quantify. “The difference is that until a few years ago, this value proposition was almost nonexistent (except for prototyping and some tooling),” wrote Sher. “Now the value proposition exists, and its potential is very significant.”

Sigma Labs is well positioned to exploit and help support the forecast burgeoning growth of 3D metal printing in the automotive space. An industry pioneer and leader in 3D printing software, Sigma Labs has developed a proprietary, real-time, computer-aided, inspection (CAI) technology, PrintRite3D(R), that enables nondestructive quality assurance during the production process. Representing a breakthrough in technology, PrintRite3D is the only real-time, in-process, quality-assurance software for the commercial 3D metal printing industry. With explosive potential of 3D printing in the automotive space, SGLB’s revolutionary technology could be an essential catalyst of the expected growth.

Sigma Labs was founded in 2010 and has since become the go-to, 3D-printing expert for real-time, computer-aided inspection (CAI) solutions. Managed by experts from many different science disciplines such as metallurgy, physics, signal processing, mechanical engineering, optics, software AI and ML, data analytics and visualization, the company has established credibility and efficacy within highly demanding industries such as aerospace, defense, biomedical and transportation.

The 3D Printing Media Network article attributes the tremendous industry potential in part to manufacturers of “traditional” additive-manufacturing technologies for both polymers and metals working to optimize the end-to-end, 3D-printing production process. That optimization stems from introducing additional elements of automation, improving software that runs the AM process and developing new designs that take full advantage of AM technologies.

“The reason why [manufacturers] finally did this is that the pressure is on from a number of new entry AM firms (HP, Carbon, Desktop Metal) that have been introducing faster and more cost-effective processes, the so-called planar processes, specifically with automotive mass production in mind,” said Sher. “The implications of this ‘clash of titans’ will be seen more clearly over the next decade, but my opinion is that this will greatly benefit adoption, pushing large automotive firms to continue to invest large sums of money even if the short-term financial benefits from AM applications are not as immediately clear as they may be in other segments.”

At the forefront of this incredible manufacturing revolution, Sigma Labs could easily find its one-of-kind software integrated into the 3D manufacturing process throughout the automotive industry.

• The FDA has reiterated its position of not currently allowing the marketing of CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it as a dietary supplement
• Tight FDA requirements provide an opening for startups like No Borders, Inc., which leverages blockchain supply chain technology to ensure and confirm the quality of CBD products
• Sales of all legalized cannabis in the U.S. are projected to reach $41 billion in 2025, including $6 billion from hemp-derived CBD products.
• CBD product sales to consumers to reach an estimated $20 billion by 2024

There is no denying that cannabidiol (CBD) is a booming market if there ever was one. However, recent developments spearheaded by the Food and Drug Administration have led analysts to expect some consolidation in the market with a consumer focus on quality, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Aside from one prescription drug approved to treat two pediatric epilepsy disorders, (CBD) products have not been approved by the FDA, and we want to be clear that a number of questions remain regarding CBD’s safety,” Amy Abernethy, principal deputy commissioner for the FDA, said in a statement quoted by the Wall Street Journal (http://ibn.fm/eQ9dS).

The FDA defines a drug as any product intended to treat a disease or have a therapeutic or medical use and any product (that is not a food) aimed at affecting the function or structure of the human or animal body according to the FD&C Act. The FDA hasn’t evaluated how a host of CBD products could interact with FDA-approved drugs, whether they are effective for their intended use, or what the right dosage would be.

As major brands ease up on cannabidiol research, startups see an opening. Companies like No Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR) are uniquely positioned to use their expertise to improve margins. No Borders, Inc.’s patent pending CBD LabChain platform utilizes blockchain supply chain technology to better ensure and confirm the quality of CBD products, which has become more important than ever in light of the FDA’s new policies.

CBD LabChain’s patent pending platform records Certificate of Authority (COA) on a blockchain, making it an indispensible tool that gives CBD users a sense of security and peace of mind. Another wholly owned subsidiary of No Borders Inc., No Borders Labs, designed CBD LabChain to record THC, CBD and other lab test data and make results directly and easily accessible to consumers via QR code linkage. The “Results Certified with Blockchain” icon that is generated can be integrated directly into individual product labels. Additionally, No Borders subsidiary No Borders Naturals (http://ibn.fm/BSzdi) had the best in class line of CBD products that were shared with more than 30,000 medical professionals in 2019.

These achievements, paired with a strong commitment to top product quality, give No Borders a considerable competitive edge on the fast-growing cannabis and CBD markets. According to Nielsen data, sales of all legalized cannabis in the U.S. will continue to grow, reaching $41 billion by 2025. This includes $6 billion from hemp-derived CBD products (http://ibn.fm/JZfkN). A study by consumer packaged goods sales and marketing firm Acosta found 28 percent of CBD consumers used CBD products as-needed (19 percent) or on a daily basis (9 percent). CBD product sales are expected to reach $20 billion by 2024 (http://ibn.fm/VFCpV).

No Borders became prominent during the 2018 blockchain boom. The company chose to develop blockchain systems in house and has adopted a failsafe approach of acquire, test, scale, and repeat, by which it plans to scale throughout 2020. Today, No Borders is a multifaceted corporation specializing in the acquisition, creation, and scaling of commercial and consumer products by utilizing cutting-edge technologies to reduce costs while increasing revenues and shareholder value through technological superiority across its portfolio of assets.

The company has excellent prospects in and beyond 2020. Some of the company’s goals for 2020 include transitioning back into a fully SEC reporting company and uplisting to OTCQB. Its continued commitment to always keep shareholders up to speed on progress and only announce completed or finished projects/deals (http://ibn.fm/WdDlF).

• SGLB’s PrintRite3D(R) software disrupts growing 3D printing industry
• 3D printing recognized as game-changing technology that will enhance numerous industries, from aerospace and construction to oil and gas and medical
• Multibillion-dollar market expected to produce exponential growth rates for decades

According to a 3D Printing Media Network article (http://ibn.fm/drfyG), the latest Formnext 2019 exhibition clearly showed that the 3D printing industry is thriving, showing disruptive potential and ability to save time and money for a wide range of industries. Sigma Labs Inc. (NASDAQ: SGLB), a recognized pioneer in the 3D metal-printing industry, is remarkably well positioned to leverage the explosive growth of the 3D printing industry with its unique PrintRite3D quality-assurance software.

SGLB’s PrintRite3D software revolutionizes the commercial 3D metal-printing industry as the only real-time, in-process, quality-assurance software that enables nondestructive quality-control intervention during the production process. Furthermore, this enables the creation of documentation for the quality of parts that customers may archive to preserve proof of quality microstructure of the metal should there ever be an investigation as to the cause of performance failure. The software’s unique abilities solves the industry’s most significant hurdle that prevents it from growing at scale.

Formnext, the premier, global 3D-printing exhibition and conference held annually in Frankfurt, Germany, was bigger than ever – proving that the emerging industry is snowballing as it gains momentum among manufacturers and investors alike. According to 3D Printing Media Network, the additive manufacturing industry has been growing at the annual rate of 35% for the past three decades, and it will continue to do so for the next century and beyond until it eventually becomes the primary method of manufacturing. These impressive growth rates, equivalent to the industry’s doubling in size every two years, are in line with Moore’s law that drives dynamics in the digital world, endowed with exponential growth potential.

The number of companies presenting at Formnext will continue to grow as AM firms are increasingly specializing in specific verticals, such as dental, machine tools, aerospace, construction, automotive and oil and gas in addition to medical and bioprinting. For these verticals to embrace 3D printing in their manufacturing processes, the 3D metal-printing industry must be able to increase production speed and quality while at the same time reducing the excessive cost of post manufacturing quality control.

Currently, the only solution that brings these benefits is SGLB’s PrintRite3D quality-assurance software, which allows detection of quality-control problems during the manufacturing process. This game-changing software not only identifies production anomalies in real time but provides operators with actionable information that allows them to promptly implement repairs as soon as defects are detected, thereby reducing rejects and saving time and money.

The industry’s hallmark conference, Formnext, showed that the 3D printing has outgrown the tight-knit, enthusiastic group of professionals where it began, maturing into an industry that will transform manufacturing. The article observes that the 3D printing industry is growing along two diverging paths. The first includes traditional market leaders that have been growing between 10% and 20% annually, even through the industry’s hardest times. Although they continue to be the ones that sell the most systems, these market leaders belong to a more traditional way of doing business that often collides with exponential, digital growth, so many will struggle to compete with aggressive, well-funded and more digitalized challengers.

As the article reports, these challengers are a new generation of market players, mainly originating in the United States, that attract investors with a business model based on industrializing 3D printing as a scalable production solution. The model aims at selling industrial 3D printers – even those with price tags above $100,000 – not by the ones, but by the tens, hundreds and eventually thousands.

“AM is a tiny percentage of global manufacturing and – even though most operators don’t want to say it – will eventually become the primary method of manufacturing,” the article states, observing that if hundreds of companies are to sell machines by the thousands, it will require that 3D companies are used to manufacture millions of parts. However, going from producing ten parts to producing a million parts at a 35% annual growth rate would take around 40 years, the article concludes.

As a pioneer in the 3D metal-printing industry, SGLB is an attractive investment opportunity that allows investors to benefit from its early positioning as a game changer enabling the scale-up of the 3D metal-printing industry. With its revolutionary quality-control software, SGLB creates a pathway for the projected exceptional 3D metal-printing growth to materialize. The company is a well-timed investment that provides investors with an opportunity to capitalize on the exponential growth of the industry at an early stage, with valuations to match.

• Action points include becoming a fully SEC reporting company and uplisting to OTCQB
• Company boasts low stock volatility demonstrated by steady pricing maintained throughout 2019
• No Borders looks set for a successful 2020, as worldwide spending on blockchain solutions is expected to continue growing and reach $11.7 billion by 2022

No Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR) came to the fore during the 2018 blockchain boom, and has since grown and developed by relying on an anti-fragile approach of deploy, test, adjust and repeat, by which it intends to stand throughout 2020, according to a Random Analyst assessment of the company’s road map for next year (http://ibn.fm/WspTg).

The report quotes Cbinsights data showing that 70% of upstart tech companies fail around 20 months after raising financing with around $1.3 million in total funding closed. No Borders, a multi-faceted technology innovator and products company focused on infiltrating and disrupting verticals that are behind the curve of technological adoption, is now hitting the 20-month mark, the analysis shows.

There are four significant action points within the company’s 2020 road map: SEC Reg 1A, hiring auditors to conduct a two-year company review, becoming a fully SEC reporting company, and uplisting OTCQB. Bringing on a new advisory board is a powerful action point, as is focus the company’s focus on intellectual property.

SEC Reg 1, is already in the works. The SEC has approved the documents, so accomplishing the first action point is already finished with state registrations approved in New York and Colorado. The other action points need to be completed one after the other. For example, the company needs to be externally audited to be fully reporting and then to uplist to OTCQB, the Random Analyst assessment indicates.

Unlike most companies, No Borders does not assign dates to the events they plan to accomplish. One advantage of this can come from an increase in a positive stock movement when a significant material event is announced and that event does not transpire or is delayed. Risk exposure is reduced by tying the event points to the conditions required for success. The company boasts low stock volatility, demonstrated by the steady prices it has maintained throughout 2019.

No Borders currently has five subsidiaries who are mainly active in the blockchain and cannabidiol spaces. The company’s patent pending CBD LabChain platform utilizes blockchain technology to better ensure and confirm the quality of CBD products, an increasingly needed solution. The subsidiary records Certificate of Authority (COA) on a blockchain technology platform, making it an indispensible tool that gives CBD users a sense of security and peace of mind while providing the company’s No Borders Naturals CBD line (http://ibn.fm/zuYFm) a powerful Unique Selling Proposition in the market today.

Another subsidiary, No Borders Labs, designed CBD LabChain to record THC, CBD and other lab test data and make results directly and easily accessible to consumers via QR code linkage. The “Guaranteed with Blockchain” icon that is generated can be integrated directly into individual product labels. No Borders’ other subsidiaries include MedDent Supplies and No Borders Naturals, which had the best in class line of CBD products that were shared with more than 30,000 Americans and medical professionals in 2019.

Worldwide spending on blockchain solutions is expected to grow from $1.5 billion in 2018 to an estimated $11.7 billion by 2022 (http://ibn.fm/xLJXx). This is hardly surprising as companies that sell and/or manufacture products need secure and reliable supply chains to thrive. Supply chain security ensures products and their elements or ingredients aren’t pirated or tampered with. No Borders Labs is customizing blockchain technology for network infrastructure and supply chains everywhere. It is the only publicly traded, internal deployment focused, blockchain deployment company nationwide.

Ultimately, No Borders is setting the conditions for a successful 2020, having a solid plan in place and the team to execute it, the Random Analyst assessment concludes.

In less than two years of recreational legalization, two of the company’s cannabis gummy products have become top products. According to BDS Analytics, a cannabis-industry market and consumer research company, PLUS Uplift sour watermelon was the best-selling cannabis product in California in 2019 and PLUS was the largest infused gummy brand over that time period.

A remaining objective in PLUS’s strategy to become the world’s strongest cannabis brand portfolio is growing a national presence through new markets, new products and new brands. The company made progress on this initiative when it followed up its initial product offering with two more product lines in summer 2019: PLUS mints and a second line of PLUS gummies.

Designed for cannabis consumers taking their first step into edibles, PLUS’s mints contain a low dose of THC and take advantage of sublingual uptake, allowing for quicker onset. The second line of gummies were in response to consumer and retailer demand, and included three new flavors: PLUS Balance cucumber-lime, PLUS Uplift tangerine and PLUS Unwind concord grape.

The launch of the two new offerings expected for Q1 2020 is the next strategic step in PLUS’s carefully executed plan to grow its product portfolio. The new products will launch new categories: wellness/relief and what PLUS calls “get high/have fun.”

Plus Products’ cannabis-infused edibles are now available in more than 360 licensed retailers across the state of California, and the company recently launched its products in Nevada, one of the nation’s most promising cannabis markets. In addition, PLUS has unveiled a line of 100% hemp-CBD-infused gummies, available on its website. The company’s mission is to make cannabis safe and approachable, which begins with high-quality products that deliver consistent consumer experiences.

• NGTF vision to “own” $50-billion nighttime snacking category
• Company planning major in-store promotion in more than 500 supermarkets across country
• Nightfood also focused on expanding on hotel front, where Nightfood sleep-friendly ice cream offers unique possibilities

Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) founder and CEO Sean Folkson recently outlined a deliberate strategy for the award-winning ice cream company’s plan to address America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking habit. The plan includes NGTF’s first major in-store promotion as well as increased attention on the company’s efforts to be carried in hotel-lobby-store freezers.

Barely a year old – the company manufactured its first pint of nighttime-snack ice cream in January 2019 – Nightfood is focused on owning the nighttime snacking category and will be launching its first major in-store promotion in more than 500 supermarkets this quarter, including several new major chains (http://ibn.fm/EUfVJ).

In Q4 2019, Nightfood expanded distribution into hundreds of additional major supermarket outlets, opening the door for certain marketing tactics and partnerships that had not previously been available. “We’ve now more than tripled our supermarket distribution count compared to Q1 of last year,” Folkson stated in a news release. “We will have about seven times the supermarket distribution by the end of this quarter as the same time last year, and approximately ten times the number of facings, plus distribution in divisions of the two largest supermarket chains in the country.

“Our newfound ability to run these proven, large-scale campaigns influenced the decisions made by some of the new chains that will be adding Nightfood this quarter,” Folkson continued. “We’ve got a great product serving a massive consumer need. The key now is driving awareness, trial and repurchase. Going forward, our ability to run large promotions very early in the distribution cycle will make a big difference.”

In addition to having its products on supermarket shelves, Nightfood is increasing efforts to have its exclusive line of sleep-friendly ice cream carried in hotel-lobby stores. NGTF products are already selling well in selected Fairfield Inn & Suites (Marriott), Hilton Garden Inn (Hilton), Staybridge Suites (InterContinental Hotels Group) and Residence Inn (Marriott) (http://ibn.fm/GI82e).

“In addition to our upcoming supermarket updates, we’re expecting great developments on the hotel front,” Folkson said. “Hotels represent a very exciting vertical for us, and one that Nightfood is uniquely positioned for. It’s amazing how much ice cream is sold in that environment. Just ask at the front desk when you travel, especially in the mid-range and business properties. The emergence of more complete lobby stores is a growing source of incremental revenue and customer satisfaction, and my goal is to get Nightfood in every single one of those freezers.”

Nightfood has partnered with Lionel Binnie, a business strategist and expert in the food and beverage space, who is working with Nightfood to develop the hotel vertical and is engaged in ongoing discussions with some of the largest hotel brands in the country, as well as many large hotel management companies. “Each and every hotel selling ice cream should be making Nightfood sleep-friendly ice cream available for their guests,” added Binnie.

In other Nightfood news, the company filed an 8K reporting that Folkson, the company’s single largest shareholder, has extended his existing lock-up agreement for an additional 12 months (http://ibn.fm/1mKs2). “We received questions from a couple of shareholders about the lock-up, so I wanted to address those publicly,” said Folkson. “This company is my past, my present and my future, and I’m not looking to sell or otherwise decrease my share position in any way. With our introduction into hotels, and various consumer marketing initiatives that will come to light very soon, I’m expecting a breakout in consumer awareness and product demand.”

By helping consumers solve their night snacking in a better, healthier and more sleep-friendly way, Nightfood is establishing the leading position in the nighttime-snacking category where American consumers are generally dissatisfied yet are still spending more than $50 billion annually (http://ibn.fm/myjU1). Nightfood is the creator of delicious, award-winning and better-for-you ice cream formulated by sleep and nutrition experts. The company also owns subsidiary MJ Munchies Inc., which seeks to capitalize on legally compliant opportunities in the CBD and marijuana edibles and related spaces.
