• The deal with Roger Bloss and his company will help expand the reach of InsuraGuest’s insurance platform
• InsuraGuest’s platform can integrate with 71 hotel and vacation rental property management systems, giving it access to millions of rooms worldwide
• Vacation rental revenue stood at $57,669 billion in 2019 with a market growth rate of 6.9%

InsuraGuest Inc., developers of a proprietary InsurTech platform to deliver insurance products to the hotel and vacation rental market, has signed an international sales contract with world-famous hotelier Roger Bloss and his company Cal-Vegas, Inc. The contract with InsuraGuest will help Bloss leverage his vast network and experience to boost hotel sales and onboarding of InsuraGuest’s platform around the world.

“InsuraGuest is unlike any other InsurTech product on the market, and Roger Bloss is unlike any hotelier,” Douglas Anderson, chairman and CEO of InsuraGuest stated in a news release (http://ibn.fm/1MSfd). “We are proud and honored to work with someone of Roger’s caliber to provide the benefits of InsuraGuest to many more hotels around the world.”

Bloss has over four decades of experience in the hospitality industry. He founded Vantage Hospitality Group in 1996 and has held executive positions with several major hotel franchise companies. Cal-Vegas was formed to own and manage lodging facilities throughout the U.S. on behalf of third-party owners as well as for its own account.

The contract will allow InsuraGuest to further expand its international reach. The company has already gained a firm foothold on the rapidly growing vacation rental market with its proprietary software platform offering specialized insurance coverage to all guests from check-in to check-out (http://ibn.fm/Zqb17).

Vacation rental revenue was $57.669 billion with a market growth rate of approx. 7% in 2019. U.S. travel to overseas markets totaled 35.1 million, up by 7%. About 25 percent of Americans report engaging with short-term rental platforms (23 percent), up 277 percent. The vacation rental market is projected to reach $63 billion by 2024, advancing at an annual growth rate of 5.51 percent in 2020.

InsuraGuest entered the vacation rental sector at the end of September 2019 by signing a software integration deal with San Francisco-based Hostfully, Inc., rated as one of the best property management systems in the world. InsuraGuest’s InsurTech platform can integrate with around 71 different property management systems, giving it access to millions of rooms worldwide.

The company’s proprietary software platform delivers a specialized guest protection policy to the hotel or vacation rental property to protect the guest during their stay while on the property. Hotels and vacation rental properties purchase an InsuraGuest Guest Protection Policy, which is automatically extended to each of their guests, including their room occupants, at the time of check-in; similar to a resort or amenity fee. The specialized policy covers accidental in-room damage, theft and damage of personal property, as well as accidental medical expenses and accidental death and dismemberment.

The policy was created to fill a gap left by traditional traveler’s insurance, which doesn’t cover a number of things that can happen inside hotels or vacation rental properties, putting both the guest and the hotel or property owner at risk. InsuraGuest Guest Protection Policy is complimentary to homeowners and/or general liability insurance coverage, serving as the first line of defense for the guest and the property.

InsuraGuest is working to expand the scope of its insurance products to cover European Union member states and the United Kingdom, as well as Asia before mid-2020. Europe’s hospitality stay market is more than double the market size in the United States, which means the InsuraGuest insurance platform has even greater potential in serving hotel and vacation rental guests. Europe accounts for 60 percent of all the vacation rental companies in the world, and the rest of the world accounts for 20 percent.

• SING focused on influencing strategy, direction of high-potential companies
• Company subsidiary partners with one of nation’s largest real-estate brokers
• SinglePoint’s mission is to seize opportunities via aggressive expansion strategy across wide range of assets

SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) is a diversified holding company that specializes in the acquisition of small to mid-sized companies. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, SinglePoint’s emphasis is on new technologies and multiple revenue streams. The company provides solar, payment-processing and text-marketing programs. The company offers investment opportunities across a broad array of assets. SinglePoint is accelerating its renewable energy and revenue-growth strategies for residential and commercial solar initiatives primarily by way of its successful Direct Solar of America subsidiary (http://ibn.fm/C3yef).

Recently, SinglePoint CEO Greg Lambrecht discussed company initiatives with MoneyTV’s Donald Baillargeon. Lambrecht talked about SinglePoint’s subsidiary Direct Solar, which has partnered with Phoenix, Arizona-based My Home Group, one of the largest real-estate brokers in the nation. Lambrecht explained that SING was training the group’s agents in solar “so on their business cards, they can put solar certified. But the important thing is, whether their client is buying or selling a house, they can tell them about solar, so in a sense, you know, our company… has hired 2300 reps to help sell our Direct Solar. In fact, last week, they already got three solar deals.”

Lambrecht also noted that estimated numbers for SinglePoint last year look like they are going to come in at approximately $3 million. With the company’s association with My Home Group, Lambrecht projects that this year’s numbers could reach over $10 million. “This solar acquisition, Direct Solar, is really going to show some serious revenues in 2020,” he said.

Regarding the CBD (cannabidiol) and hemp side of SinglePoint’s business, Lambrecht stated that the company has its own 1606 Original Hemp Cigarette brand. The brand is racking up significant sales online, and SING has landed an East Coast distributor with an approximately 8,000 accounts. That distributor is starting to put 1606 Original Hemp Cigarettes in all its stores, Lambrecht reported.

Finally, SinglePoint’s CEO pointed out that investors should recognize says that the company’s stock price is not a clear indication of where the company is. “Solar and renewable energy is, and is going to be, the hottest topic for 2020,” he observed, encouraging investors to take a close look at SING. “In fact, since the start of the year, almost all solar stocks are up, and if you go talk to any broker, they’re putting their clients in solar and renewable energy.” SinglePoint is at the right spot at the right time with solar, he noted.

The company’s Direct Solar subsidiary installs cost-effective, solar-power systems and presently serves multiple states and cities with residential and commercial services. Direct Solar handles everything from paperwork and permits to system requirements and funding.

On the hemp front, SinglePoint’s 1606 Original Hemp line features a filtered, pre-rolled, 100% tobacco- and nicotine-free hemp cigarette. Of note is that the smokable hemp market currently represents about 2% of the overall CBD market – with 250% growth from 2017 to 2018. New Frontier Data estimates that the U.S. legal cannabis market will grow to $30 billion by 2025 (http://ibn.fm/Ere77). Based on those numbers, SinglePoint is at the vanguard of this trend as the company positions itself to supply quality hemp products to a demanding consumer marketplace desiring innovative hemp products.

SinglePoint continues to focus on being a diverse enterprise with an extensive footprint. For investors, the company’s solar and hemp programs offer the potential for major ROI in two thriving industries. SING is delivering on its strategy of acquiring and working with key company management to build successful candidate companies.

• 2020 began with fresh optimism for the hospitality stay industry as U.S. hotels reported a modest rise in revenue and occupancy for the New Year’s holiday period
• Airbnb-style short-term rentals are becoming increasingly prominent in the travel stay market, but the fledgling industry sector continues to struggle with safety and security standards
• Media reports have noted some of the difficulties faced by short-term rental operations, including the case of an actress whose family suffered carbon monoxide poisoning during a holiday stay at a Lake Tahoe property
• Travel accommodations insurer InsuraGuest has developed a model for providing front-line insurance to provide travelers and rental properties peace of mind in dealing with issues that may be exempted from a traveler’s insurance
• InsuraGuest is expanding its licensing and registration to all 50 states and expects to soon expand within Europe and Asia as well

With the rise of Airbnb-type short-term rentals operated by homeowners as profitable, stay-enhancing accommodations for travelers, city administrators and neighbors often find themselves examining the safety and security impact of the fledgling industry.

Actress Anna Faris became an unintended spokeswoman for the industry’s need to standardize guest protections as a first line of defense when she and her family became sick with carbon monoxide poisoning at a Lake Tahoe guest rental home over the Thanksgiving weekend because the home was not equipped with carbon monoxide detectors (http://ibn.fm/ilAnX).

Airbnb advertises a $1 million property damage coverage policy, but a series of lawsuits challenge the company’s reimbursement claims, including a South Carolina coastal island home owner who reported guests seriously damaged the residence (http://ibn.fm/AW0Vw) and a Southwest London developer who reported damages that arose after the service’s customers falsely described themselves (http://ibn.fm/oTzFf).

“Currently, the biggest issue in the vacation rental industry is about standards, and safety and security compliance. Until now, there has been very little guidance for property managers and owners as to how to operate their properties with best practice when it comes to guest safety and security,” Canadian rental certification business founder Wolf Wörster stated in a Viva Glam magazine article on the industry (http://ibn.fm/IM4wG).

Insurtech innovator InsuraGuest Inc. is responding to the concerns from the aspect of insurance needs. InsuraGuest helps the short-term travel stay industry ensure a standard of protection for guests and, in turn, the properties they visit by insuring gaps in medical and site damage coverage. The company’s proprietary software platform is designed to “fill the gap” where other policies’ exemptions may bar reimbursement even though incidents of damage or injury are not regarded as someone’s fault.

InsuraGuest’s policies are responsive to accidental in-room damage, theft of personal property, accidental medical expenses and accidental death and dismemberment for each of the facility’s guests, governed by a single software system. The property becomes an InsuraGuest client, then includes the first-line coverage in the guest rental contract.

InsuraGuest’s proprietary software is expanding its licensing and registration to all 50 states, where it is gaining an increasing number of establishments as clients. The company also expects to advance in European and Asian markets this year (http://ibn.fm/bErYR).

Industry analysts reported that U.S. hotel revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose 4 percent during the New Year’s holiday period and the average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy grew 4 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively, granting hopeful prospects to the hospitality sectors’ outlook for the new year (http://ibn.fm/Lq0zD).

• For some 15 years, HTC Extraction Systems has built an IP that distills and recycles ethanol and ethanol-based solvents, and is now turning its experience to the cannabinoid extract industries’ potential
• While regulatory federal officials in the United States continue to regard cannabinoid extracts such as cannabidiol (CBD) as potentially unsafe for ingestion, the producers of topicals and oils served by extractors such as HTC Extraction Systems continue to enjoy high-margin possibilities
• The company is installing new equipment at the California-based and Saskatchewan facilities that will give it the capacity to process up to 12,000 pounds of hemp biomass per day at the California site and up to 2 million kg per year for phase 1 at the Canadian site
• HTC’s most recent financial report stated revenues had risen nearly 200 percent on a year-over-year basis, despite the market difficulties many industry players faced during the year

Despite a growing social acceptance, and in many cases even an active embrace, of cannabinoid-derived products for enhancing personal wellness, regulatory liberation in the United States has remained ambivalent and the cannabinoid industry’s biggest players have seen their stocks hammered by a variety of adverse forces throughout North America (http://ibn.fm/AbiTl).

The federal government delivered hope to cannabinoid connoisseurs at the end of 2018 with its passage of the Farm Act that lifted prohibitions against hemp cultivation, but the end of 2019 brought the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) less-than-encouraging warning that it still does not consider CBD a safe food additive (http://ibn.fm/4DD8P).

While the differing points of view regarding CBD and other cannabinoids even at the administrative levels of state and federal governments foster ongoing debate and legislative wrangling, extraction-service providers such as HTC Extraction Systems (TSX.V: HTC) (OTCQB: HTPRF) may expect to remain above the fray as they process hemp biomass to obtain resins, distillates, concentrates and select cannabinoids for high-margin derivatives.

Topicals and oils have largely avoided the attention of the FDA as long as they have avoided making unsubstantiated medical claims in their marketing and packaging. That in turn means companies specializing in the extraction of cannabinoids for such products can prove to be a refuge for investors looking for a cannabinoid-related industry to take off (http://ibn.fm/fO9wI), regardless of the FDA’s eventual decision.

HTC Extraction Systems has built its proprietary purification technologies on the 15 years of advances it has made in distillation processes that remove ethanol and ethanol-based solvents used in the extraction process. The company’s trademarked Delta Reclaiming System technologies for CBD, solvents and glycols recycle and reuse the extraction ethanol used in the CBD extraction process, limiting CBD waste through the re-extraction of all wastes collected from the purified ethanol, according to the company.

HTC Extraction Systems’ working relationships with other cannabinoid industry players further shore up its revenues possibilities. Most recently, the Canadian company recently closed its acquisition of a California-based company in the United States. The recently acquired, Kase Farma Inc., is authorized to work with hemp cultivation, extraction, refining, formulation and business operations in the world’s largest cannabinoid market (http://ibn.fm/KBooK), and HTC Extraction will reap the experience of Kase Farma’s former owner, Starling Brands, Inc., which remains involved through a management services agreement for navigating the business and regulatory climates in California.

New equipment that will enable Kase Farma to process and distill up to 12,000 pounds a day of dried hemp biomass that, at an 8 percent CBD yield, will give over 400,000 grams daily of CBD and a sizable profile during the upcoming cultivation season. New equipment HTC Extraction Systems is installing at its Saskatchewan facilities will similarly allow the company to receive a projected 2 million kg of hemp biomass for extracting CBD Full-Spectrum Oil (FSO) distillate north of the border under a tolling strategy coordinated with highly recognized area farmers.

While year-end financial reports are pending, the company’s third-quarter statement reported revenues had grown by nearly 200 percent year-over-year, further demonstrating HTC Extraction Systems’ potential for financial strength (http://ibn.fm/VmA5S).

• CIIX leverages its robust financial expertise to become leader in nascent Chinese CBD market
• CEO discusses potential health benefits of CBD-based products as China – and world – faces spread of coronavirus
• Wang emphasizes tremendous opportunities offered by CBD Biotech’s products in enormous yet untapped CBD Chinese market

California-based ChineseInvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) is a financial-news media and content platform founded in 1999 that has become a leading financial information platform for Chinese-speaking investors in the United States and China. Recognizing exceptional opportunities in the emerging cannabis industry, CIIX is leveraging its tremendous financial expertise to establish itself as a leader in China’s developing cannabidiol (CBD) industry.

Although cannabis is currently illegal in China, hemp-based CBD can be legally added to nutrition and health products and cosmetics, opening up massive opportunities in the untapped Chinese CBD market. CIIX has created a three-year development plan to pioneer an attractive lineup of CBD-based products through its subsidiary, CBD Biotech, and capitalize on the tremendous potential of the enormous Chinese market, where the benefits of CBD oil have not been widely recognized yet.

In addition, in a bid to meet growing consumer expectations for seamless digital customer experiences, the company is developing a CBD-focused platform for Chinese people to review and discuss various CBD products. The platform is intended to be a Yelp-style mobile app and will be the first CBD social-media mobile app that caters to Chinese-speaking customers worldwide. The company has already launched another digital product, www.ChineseCBDoil.com, the world’s first online, CBD-infused, health-products store in Chinese.

A growing number of Chinese people are becoming aware of the numerous health benefits of CBD oil for the treatment of a number of conditions such as stress, anxiety, poor sleep, Alzheimer’s disease and more. In a recent interview with MoneyTV’s Donald Baillargeon, CIIX CEO Warren Wang discussed health benefits of CBD-based products offered by CIIX, emphasizing those that are relevant in the current environment where the coronavirus is an international concern.

Speaking to MoneyTV’s vast audience, which numbers over 200 million households in more than 75 countries, Wang said that the need for health-related products to potentially address the virus that originated in the Chinese province of Wuhan presents a tremendous opportunity for CBD Biotech. The innovative lineup of the company’s CBD health and cosmetics products may be particularly helpful when the world, and China in particular, are under the threat of the virus. Among others, Wang mentioned the company’s hemp-infused soap and also noted CBD Biotech is planning to roll out the first hemp-infused protective face mask.

“I’m not a doctor; I cannot say that CBD can help your immune system, but I speak from my three-year experience,” Wang stated in the interview (http://ibn.fm/CZWAT), indicating that seeking medical help is essential while CBD products can be a preventative measure. “I am the first one in the public market field inside China selling CBD. In the long run, we have tremendous opportunities. You can call me the number-one CBD salesman in China.”

The CIIX business model is based on the sound business strategy of diversifying income streams between attractive business lines that, although separate, are centered around Chinese investors or consumers, making the company an attractive investment opportunity. Particularly compelling as the company has announced a Nasdaq IPO planned for the beginning of 2020, CIIX can bring investors benefits of early entrance in the company with a sound, diversified business model and enormous target market that offers significant opportunities.

• NGTF partners with leading marketing company to install coupon machines in more than 700 supermarkets
• Company expects initiative to drive massive consumer trial in their ‘natural habitat’ – at home, in front of TV
• Nightfood adds seasoned sales director to oversee 2020 supermarket expansion

Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the award-winning ice cream company addressing America’s $50 billion nighttime snacking problem, is partnering with News America Marketing to kick off its first-ever in-store promotional activities (http://ibn.fm/p9I8q). The in-store initiative includes installing coupon machines in approximately 700 of Nightfood’s high-volume supermarket partners.

“These coupon machines are extremely cost effective, and we’re expecting this campaign to be very impactful,” Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson stated in a news release, further noting that participating chains include existing Nightfood partners, along with new major chains in which Nightfood has secured distribution. “In the crowded ice cream section, where product is literally merchandised behind closed doors, being able to break out from behind the door and into the vision of the consumer can play an important role in driving trial and winning new customers.”

The machines are designed to encourage consumers to purchase Nightfood products and then have their first Nightfood ice-cream experience at home, in what Folkson calls “their natural habitat.”

“Anytime a consumer can enjoy their first pint of Nightfood at home, in front of the TV or whenever the cravings normally hit, that’s a win for us,” Folkson continued. “We’re looking for this campaign to drive that kind of trial in a much more cost-effective way than in-store product demonstrations, which might last a few hours and give consumers just a small taste. These displays are there for several weeks, working hard 24 hours a day, and impossible to miss for anybody in the ice cream section.”

Nightfood’s partner in this strategic initiative, News America Marketing, provides comprehensive in-store marketing media options in more than 60,000 stores across the United States and Canada. News America clients include some of the most established consumer brands in the world along with fast-growing category pioneering brands. “We’re excited to be supporting and working with Nightfood as they expand distribution into additional supermarket chains around the country,” said Gabrielle McMahon of News America Marketing. “We’ll work together in the coming months to apply best practices and identify the optimal mix of tactics to drive success at retail for this unique and innovative brand.”

The announcement of the in-store promotional campaign came on the heels of Nightfood adding a seasoned sales director to its team (http://ibn.fm/1Mh8R). The company partnered with WeStock’s new shared sales-director program, dubbed Radish, to add Jessie Trinchard to the Nightfood roster. Radish provides growing brands with a shared, industry-leading sales director to oversee and coordinate national sales in a quick and affordable way. Trinchard will help Nightfood further expand the brand’s distribution footprint and work closely with the growing number of supermarket chains carrying Nightfood ice cream to help drive maximum awareness and sales.

Trinchard is an industry veteran with more than a decade of experience in sales and marketing-management positions in high-growth brands in the food and beverage sector. Her résumé includes management and director experience in multiple national brands that have since been acquired for an aggregate of over $500 million.

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 still spend more than $50 billion annually. Nightfood – winner of the 2019 Product of the Year Award in the ice cream category (http://ibn.fm/r5hJN) – is the creator of delicious and better-for-you ice cream formulated by sleep and nutrition experts.

• 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.

• 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.
