Momentous Entertainment Group (MMEG) Unapologetically Embraces Christian Culture, Benefits from Tight Feedback Loop with End User

It is no news to the average reader that the world has become very much more secularly-minded in the last few decades. In fact, it has gone so far that wholesome content has now become a rebel set niche market, with Christian culture in particular striking an unmistakable contrast to a 24/7 mass media orgy of loose morals and deliberate profanity. Christian culture now hearkens back to its roots, when Christianity was an underground religion for the hip people fighting against evil, an equation which delivers to today’s markets all of the attendant benefits and premium metrics that such a tightly-knit subculture/ideology represents.

One of the hottest and most investor-accessible properties in this space today is a humble little entertainment creation, production and distribution/direct response media marketing outfit, Momentous Entertainment Group (OTC: MMEG). With a diverse and rapidly evolving portfolio of feature film, television and music content in its tool belt, Momentous Entertainment Group is poised to profit, with its fingers on the pulse of this niche market and a decided emphasis on faith-based content. The company’s prosperity is further buoyed by an extremely sophisticated direct response media marketing pipeline, which was engineered in-house, benefitting from MMEG management’s whopping century-plus of combined entertainment and marketing experience.

Today’s Christian consumer finds themselves something of an outcast in mainstream popular culture, and this has created a perfect storm of factors leading to a situation where the ability to serve up wholesome content to an underserved demand segment can be quite lucrative indeed. Let’s face it, the baseline here is media, because the delivery platform for family values, faith, and enlightenment is invariably going to be productions of music, TV, interactive social media, and the like.

This equation can be clearly mapped out by such event structures as the success of jointly-owned Hearst, Disney (NYSE: DIS) operation A&E Networks’ Duck Dynasty, as well as the rise of one of the show’s stars, Sadie Robertson (http://dtn.fm/q2d4C), whose unabashed promotion of God, faith and modesty has become a lightning rod in a mass media market saturated by the likes of Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber. Momentous Entertainment Group is making big moves with the development of reality TV shows like Chasing a Legend, which follows the legendary Earnhardt racing dynasty’s third generation rising star, Bobby Dale Earnhardt, as he climbs the ladder of the stock car racing world like his grandfather before him, through the ARCA Truck Series and on to the Sprint Cup Series. The show, which will be a white-knuckle insider look at the world of stock car racing, will also strongly reflect the religious insights of “a rising star in a sport that has long attracted the faithful.”

The company’s latest foray, the formation of a new business unit called Music One Corp., which is designed to oversee conception and execution of the company’s growing concert events business, will prove to be of great utility as MMEG expands its content footprint further into the expansive music industry. Headed up by a veteran of the thriving South Florida live venue scene, Charlie Rodriguez, Music One adds considerable product mix diversity to MMEG’s already strong core offerings with a brand encompassing all genres of music. The brand also gets a nice little head start, thanks to the extant successes of Charlie Rodriguez Live Entertainment.

Music One adds nicely to the company’s music portfolio, which is grounded in Contemporary Christian music such as Momentous Music division’s recently-produced, first-ever music video, which features Faith United Methodist Church’s Suzanne Olmon, singing “I Believe.”

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) Succeeding Thanks to Professional Real Estate Career Training

Developing good communication skills, learning to negotiate, and being prepared to work long days both in and out of an agency office are just some of the abilities that people assume they need in order to become a real estate agent. Of course, all of this would come after initial training and certification. After that, there would be continuing meetings and training at the agency to build agent skills and relationships. However, with the technological advancements available today, a revolution is building in the way agents are trained and operate, a revolution being led by eXp World Holdings (OTCQB: EXPI).

Not only has the number of remote workers grown by 103% since 2005, but, according to Global Workforce Analytics, “3.7 million employees (2.8% of the workforce) now work from home at least half the time”. In the real estate industry, eXp World Holdings has led this new wave, using advanced technologies to support the remote worker revolution and changing people’s perceptions of what a real estate agent does on a day-to-day basis. eXp Realty is an agent-owned cloud brokerage that provides its agents with 24/7 access to a variety of online tools and training programs in order to help them to continue to grow. EXPI’s management team saw a gap in the market which encouraged them to replace the expense of brick and mortar offices with a cloud-based environment while growing and maintaining strong relationships with its agents.

EXPI has made real estate career training accessible for free to all its agents through the Expressway system, a learning management platform that provides a flexible option to agents, allowing them to continually improve and advance their eXp Realty businesses. There are a range of free courses from which to choose, including how to build their own real estate teams, how to find and convert customers, creating and using websites, and others. Expressway also offers State Compliance Courses for each U.S. state, as well as Alberta, Canada.

Content Checked (CNCK) Teams with ATELTO to Increase Brand Recognition

Content Checked Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: CNCK) recently announced a strategic partnership with ATLETO, an exciting new social sports app. The two companies will look to introduce a cross-promotional marketing campaign highlighting both the ATLETO app and Content Checked’s suite of dietary apps as tools for helping users stay in control of their health and fitness needs. Through these efforts, Content Checked will leverage its sizable social media audience to endorse ATLETO and encourage downloads, while ATLETO will support Content Checked through promotional posts on all of its social channels.

“Partnering with ATLETO is a natural fit since its platform aligns with our philosophy of fostering a community of like-minded individuals who commit to bettering their lives,” Kris Finstad, CEO of Content Checked, stated in a news release. “We want to educate our audience and introduce them to platforms developed to help users make healthier choices easily, and we happily promote everything ATLETO stands for.”

The ATLETO app, which is currently available for download in the App Store, matches users with other athletes in their area in an effort to facilitate the best athletic experiences possible. The app enables searches for a number of popular sports, including basketball, golf, soccer, tennis and volleyball, as well as workout activities such as cycling, running and yoga. ATLETO’s efforts are currently focused on building a user base through a soft launch in Los Angeles, Miami and New York City. By partnering with the social sports app, Content Checked is strategically positioned to benefit from these efforts moving forward.

“Content Checked’s technology has significantly improved the health of individuals and we aim to provide such a significant impact to our own community of athletes,” Peter Dalgas, CMO and Co-Founder of ATLETO, stated. “Our complementary visions create a symbiotic relationship and we’re eager to share with our community the benefits of Content Checked’s family of apps.”

In recent months, Content Checked has announced a number of strategic partnerships designed to increase awareness of its innovative mobile apps. These include a deal with Kitchology, a mobile platform that provides tailored recipes to consumers with special dietary needs, and a partnership with Leaner Creamer, the only all-natural powdered creamer that promotes weight loss and appetite suppression.

In addition to the exposure provided by its strategic partnerships, the Company has been successful in securing coverage in a number of media outlets. With a comprehensive database covering over 70% of conventional U.S. packaged food products, ContentChecked, SugarChecked and MigraineChecked have garnered attention from Forbes, USA Today, ABC, CBS, NBC, Los Angeles Business Journal, Yahoo and a number of other national and international publications.

FRAME from Agora Holdings (AGHI) makes Business Blogging Easier

The recent social media marketing industry report ‘How Marketers Are Using Social Media to Grow Their Businesses’ (http://dtn.fm/sXxo2) reminds us of Cardinal Richelieu’s defensive gambit: the pen is mightier than the sword. When marketers who used social media channels were asked to select the single most important form of content for their businesses, if they could use only one, videos were selected by just 19 percent. As might be expected, many thought a picture worth a thousand words; 34 percent went with visual assets. However, close to half (45 percent) thought blogging best. Now, those lettered marketers will be happy to know that with FRAME from Agora Holdings (OTC: AGHI), their pearls of wisdom can be scattered widely over the social media realm.

The survey, undertaken by the Social Media Examiner, found that ‘Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD) are the two most important social networks for marketers. When allowed to select only one platform, 52 percent of marketers selected Facebook, followed by LinkedIn at 21 percent.’ However, ‘Twitter (NYSE: TWTR), YouTube and LinkedIn hold the top spots for future plans: a significant 66 percent of marketers plan on increasing their use of these social networks.’ The social media system is Facebook-centric; the platform has, by far, the largest number of users at 1.59 billion, according to Statista. No doubt because of this user base, 93 percent of marketers are active there, while ‘68 percent want to learn more about it and 62 percent plan on increasing Facebook activities.’

Naturally, in a medium so novel and so little understood, a majority of marketers are unsure how effective their social media efforts are. For example, ‘only 45 percent of marketers think that their Facebook efforts are effective,’ and some ‘91 percent of marketers want to know the most effective social tactics and the best ways to engage their audience with social media.’

The space for social media management tools was, until recently, a vacuum. However, true to the old saw that nature abhors a vacuum, that space is rapidly filling up. Still, opportunities remain for startups in the field. One of the earliest entrants, Buffer, announced (http://dtn.fm/b8Uyf) in January 2015 that it had 2,002,495 total registered users, 168,455 of whom were monthly active users. Two million users is a drop in the social media ocean. There is obviously room for more players.

Buffer’s annual revenue run rate (annualized revenues) was $5.06 million in January 2015. Like most other app businesses, marginal costs are very low. The cost of providing the app to another customer is negligible. Cash from increasing revenue then becomes, mostly, income. This might have had Buffer’s founders laughing all the way to the bank. The company reported it had more than $2 million in cash.

Like Buffer, FRAME provides the capability to post to many social media accounts. FRAME makes blogging easier. It also has a variety of data analytics features that, together with its publishing property, can be managed from a single dashboard. FRAME comes in two ‘flavors’. One is designed for individuals; the other is meant for business enterprises. The company will offer free access to FRAME for non-commercial users with the expectation of building a user base very quickly. Commercial users to be targeted include investor relations firms, public relations firms and other marketing and promotional agencies that employ social media.

Currently, FRAME is integrated with leading social networks Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and it operates on Android, iOS and desktop. Agora Holdings is currently exploring development to integrate the platform with LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and Tumblr.

eXp World Holdings, Inc. (EXPI) Adds Boston’s Landmark Group to Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage™

Earlier today, eXp World Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: EXPI) announced the addition of Sally and Stephen Koss, founders of the respected Landmark brand in Greater Boston, to its Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage™ after more than three decades as franchisees under the RE/MAX (NYSE: RMAX) umbrella. Over the past 31 years, Sally and Stephen Koss have successfully developed one of the strongest real estate brands in Southern New England, operating a number of offices throughout the state of Massachusetts. Their decision to exit the RE/MAX system in favor of eXp Realty’s high-engagement, low overhead business model highlights the marketability of the company’s innovative agent-ownership model in the rapidly evolving real estate industry.

“With eXp we have access to ground-breaking real estate technology to better serve our agents and clients,” Sally Koss stated in today’s news release. “Most importantly though, we are able to thank our agents by providing them with the very same opportunities that we have — ownership as fellow shareholders able to build organizations within and across markets.”

In addition to offering equity incentives to its agents and brokers, eXp Realty has developed a comprehensive cloud environment designed to offer the systems, support, culture and community required for its agents and brokerage-owners to thrive despite the unpredictability of the economic landscape. This formula has proven extremely popular, with EXPI’s agent base surpassing 1,100 members in the first quarter of 2016, marking a 100 percent year-over-year increase. The company built on this success last week when it was named among the best places to work by both The Washington Post and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and this recognition is catching the attention of some of the country’s most seasoned and successful real estate professionals.

“While there are other companies in the industry that are publicly held, the driving force behind eXp’s public company status is to give direct ownership to its agents and brokers,” continued Koss. “That’s a game-changer for us.”

Coming off a first quarter during which it achieved year-over-year revenue growth of 107 percent to more than $7.1 million, EXPI’s success in attracting top-level agents and brokers such as Sally and Stephen Koss sets the stage for additional financial growth. In line with this goal, the company is seeking to deliver a value proposition that outpaces anything the competition has to offer, effectively making it “irresponsible for an agent and broker to hang their license anywhere else,” according to Glenn Sanford, chairman and CEO of EXPI. eXp Realty’s Agent-Owned Cloud Brokerage™ currently includes more than 1,240 real estate professionals spanning 38 states and Alberta, Canada.

Singlepoint, Inc. (SING) Set to Capitalize on Position in DraftFury as New York Senate Approves Fantasy Sports Bill

Earlier today, Singlepoint, Inc. (OTC: SING) announced New York State Senate approval of a daily fantasy sports (DFS) bill that will play a key role in solidifying the legality of fantasy sports in the Empire State. The bill is currently pending final approval from Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is expected to sign it into law in the coming days. New York’s recent progress toward issuing regulations for the fantasy sports market follows the approval of similar measures from a number of other states, including Colorado, Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Virginia.

“This is terrific news for all of us involved in the DFS industry,” Greg Lambrecht, chief executive officer of Singlepoint, stated in today’s news release.

Singlepoint’s entry into the DFS industry came last month, when the company finalized an acquisition deal for an interest in DraftFury, which has been widely recognized as the first cash flow positive DFS enterprise. The acquisition was completed at a valuation of $8 million, and Singlepoint’s management team has pointed toward this valuation as a key to the company’s near term efforts to build shareholder value.

“I believe this is a significantly undervalued company in the DFS space and Singlepoint is proud to have ownership in this enterprise as we continue to cultivate relationships toward additional acquisitions in the space,” Lambrecht added. “DraftFury is well on its way to becoming one of the top players in the industry alongside DraftKings, FanDuel, and Yahoo. Likewise, Singlepoint stock has seen steady, organic growth over the last 6 weeks and we expect that growth to continue.”

As the start of the NFL season rapidly approaches, Singlepoint’s interest in the fantasy sports market strategically positions it to capitalize on the industry’s projected growth. According to the Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) (http://dtn.fm/4kt3F), roughly 57.4 million people participated in some form of fantasy sports in the United States and Canada during 2015. This marked an increase of more than 36 percent from the previous year. Also worthy of note is the rapid rise of daily fantasy sports spending. In 2012, the FSTA attributed just over six percent of fantasy sports spending to DFS competition. In 2016, the organization predicts average spending will surpass 57 percent of total fantasy sports expenditures, coming to an average of more than $315 per player.

In an effort to maximize on its position in the DFS space, DraftFury has continued to introduce innovative new features in recent weeks. To date, DraftFury has implemented one of the most optimized user interfaces available, improved lineup manageability, live lineup performance monitoring and a seven-level referral program designed to reward marketing affiliates. It has also initiated development of a new mobile app which is expected to greatly expand its market share by creating an opportunity for a significant increase in the size of its user base.

OurPet’s Company’s (OPCO) Creative Destruction in the Pet Care Industry

In his seminal contribution to economic thought published in 1942 and titled Capitalism, Socialism & Democracy, Joseph Schumpeter coined the term ‘creative destruction’ to describe the dynamic operation of the economy. This ‘industrial mutation… incessantly revolutionizes the economic structure from within, incessantly destroying the old one, incessantly creating a new one’. Schumpeter saw this ‘industrial mutation’ or ‘creative destruction’ as being driven by innovation and, more importantly, by the entrepreneur. For Schumpeter, entrepreneurship was the application of innovation. It was the origination of superior organizational models, the development of more efficient methods of production and a wider range of products offering the consumer more satisfaction or, as economists are fond of saying, greater utility. No doubt the great man would have been happy with the creative destruction at OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO). OPCO is an innovative powerhouse with ‘over 160 patents, issued or pending’ and three-quarters of its revenues come from proprietary products.

OPCO’s story is, indeed, one of innovation. The company was founded in 1996 by entrepreneur Dr. Steve Tsengas because he saw how mired in the past the pet care industry was. He set out to destroy the old ways of thinking about pet care. And so, like the plot of many a good story, OPCO’s path of innovation is one of adventure and happy endings. The development of the Intelligent Pet Care™ line is one such chapter. The seed was planted at SuperZoo, The National Show for Pet Retailers, which was held July 21 – 23, 2015, at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas when OurPets® Catty Whack® received the Best New Cat Product Showcase Award.

OurPets® Catty Whack® is an unpredictable game of hide and seek designed for cats of all ages. Cats love the electronic RealMouse® sound and the erratic movement of the feather keeps the cat guessing as it darts in and out at random. Catty Whack® sales ‘have started accelerating at the end of the year’.

The success of OurPets® Catty Whack® sparked anew the creative energy of OPCO’s designers and resulted in the development of the Intelligent Pet Care™ line. As Dr. Steve Tsengas explained in a recent MissionIR interview, the Intelligent Pet Care™ line of products is ‘the application of Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi to improve the connectivity between humans and pets’. Our pets cannot communicate with us in ways that we will understand. Nevertheless, we can infer a lot by collecting and analyzing data on their behavior.

The Intelligent Pet Care™ product line includes the SmartLink™ Feeder, SmartLink™ Waterer and SmartScoop – Intelligent Litter Box, which allows pet parents to monitor their pet’s behavior through the IntelligentPetLink™ smartphone app, which can be downloaded from the Apple or Android app store. The IntelligentPetLink™ smartphone app monitors a variety of data from the various Intelligent Pet Care™ products, such as the frequency and duration of feeding, water drinking and waste elimination.

The SmartLink™ Feeder – Intelligent Pet Bowl fits well in households with many pets. Using the Bluetooth® technology it will detect when your pet, wearing a unique SmartLink™ Tag is near and will only open for that tag. This eliminates feeding confrontations between pets, protects diet-sensitive meals and prevents small children from getting to the pet’s food.

Another product in the line is the SmartLink™ Waterer – Intelligent Water Fountain, which, employing the Bluetooth® technology, will detect when your pet, wearing a unique SmartLink™ Tag that is paired with the waterer, is near. It will then dispense filtered water from the reservoir and so allow your pet to drink clean, running water.

The line includes the SmartScoop® – Intelligent Litter Box, which uses infrared technology to sense when your cat enters and exits the box and engages the scoop mechanism accordingly to clean the box.

Over its 20 years in the pet care industry (the OurPets® brand has been around since 1996), the company has been practicing Schumpeterian creative destruction. OurPet’s Company has been destroying the obsolescent and creating the future for pets and for pet parents.

OurPet’s Company (OPCO) Eyes Mounting International Market Share as Key Bottom-Line Driver

OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) already dominates the cat wall at many retail locations, with superb offerings like its OurPets® Catty Whack®, featuring patented Electronic RealMouse® sound and an erratically moving feather wand, which darts in and out of holes in around the perimeter of this carpet scratching area-topped marvel. With an impressive and growing retail presence that spans majors like Petco and PetSmart, as well as numerous smaller retailers like Pet Supermarket, in addition to ecommerce giant Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) – further expansion into international markets could give this focused product design innovator real momentum. The same capacity to captivate western markets which OPCO has demonstrated already, with high-quality feeders and waste disposal systems, as well as toys that exercise an animal’s instincts and stimulate its senses, should easily help the company’s portfolio leap over cultural and language barriers in Asia. The warm reception OurPet’s Company has already received in Japan and South Korea is solid evidence of this.

Pet ownership is not only on the rise here in the states, but around the world as well. Globally, some 57 percent or more of the world’s consumers own pets, according to a recent GfK study (http://dtn.fm/0cKxR), with dogs the most popular choice at around 33 percent, and cats coming in second at around 23 percent. One place this rise is particularly evident is among the growing middle class in China, and across the rest of Asia as well. Beijing-based consultant firm Zhongjinqixin did a sweeping survey late last year which showed that there are over 100 million registered pets now in China (http://dtn.fm/gc4PE), with 62 percent of those pets being dogs, and a whopping 10 percent of the total number of all pets consolidated in Guangdong Province.

For a relatively small operator like OurPet’s Company – which has rapidly carved out a name for itself as a provider of ingeniously designed, high-quality toys, feeders and waste management solutions through its pet parent/prosumer brand OurPets®, as well as its mass market brand Pet Zone® – this international market could be a big opportunity. With 160 patents issued or pending and some three-quarters of its revenues stemming directly from the sale of proprietary products, OPCO is a success story waiting to pop on the global stage, and the international market could be one of the accelerants that gets this party really started. Bidding wars at home in the sector and a thriving consumer culture abroad that is leaning more and more toward increased pet ownership is a powerful one-two knockout punch for a little fighter like OPCO – which has the design talent and proven ability to resonate with end markets needed to take things to the next level abroad. With 62 percent of pets in China being dogs, the strong foundation in toys and feeders for dogs that OPCO has established will serve the company well as it reaches out further to this market in particular.

Exit to Europe this Summer with NextTrip from Monaker (MKGI)

Now that the majority of Brits have voted to leave the European Union, crossing the pond has just become a lot cheaper. The value of the pound sterling has fallen to its lowest level since the first half of 1985. Brexit has hit the British currency much harder than the Great Recession ever did. The euro has dived as well. So now, the grand continental European tour is open to many more. Summer in Europe never looked so good, and, for holiday makers, the choices of where to stay just multiplied with NextTrip from Monaker Group (OTCQB: MKGI).

NextTrip is a booking engine that provides ‘multiple booking platforms, all combined into one easy to use experience’. It was launched in February 2016 as a portal through which Monaker’s online assets, such as Always On Vacation and Maupintour, can be accessed. Using NextTrip, the sojourner can find and book hotel rooms, home rentals, resorts, cruises, flights and car rentals. NextTrip is the first booking solution to include conventional lodging, alternative lodging, and unused timeshare and resort inventory, all in one place. This technology allows consumers to search and book from the timeshare inventory in real-time without any timeshare solicitations.

Always On Vacation, acquired in October 2015, provides a rich resource of alternative lodging. In operation since 2006, the subsidiary came with its 65,000 properties in 120 countries and over 6 million monthly visitors. Now for that summer sabbatical there is a choice of 21,004 properties in the land of Hamlet or 6,533 lovely locations where the Sound of Music has filled the air. Adventure in Croatia after picking one of the 23,577 listed lodgings or visit Italy and stay in one of the 28,754 properties available there.

Another Monaker subsidiary, Maupintour, ‘helps plan highly customized private tours – anywhere around the globe’. Through Maupintour you can do China, riding a Dragon Boat across Kunming Lake in Beijing’s Summer Palace, or visit the Acropolis at Athens and the ancient home of the international games at Olympia. Alternatively, you can cruise along the Nile and see where the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun was found. You can also experience summer at Christmas with the many Southern hemisphere tours. For 14 days, you can frolic through Argentina and Chile, or you can climb around Peru for eight days. You can even try to spot a hobbit as you discover New Zealand for 10 days.

Monaker is growing rapidly. Its latest annual report shows that travel and commission revenues for the year ended February 29, 2016, reached $544,658, which represented a 66.3 percent increase over the previous year’s figure of $327,492. The company and its subsidiaries have been amassing vacation home inventory in efforts to operate the world’s largest online marketplace for the alternative lodging rental industry. Alternative lodging rentals (ALRs) are whole unit vacation homes or timeshare resort units that are fully furnished, privately-owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, villas and cabins, that property owners and managers rent to the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis. The company also aims to become the largest vacation rental platform in the world with auxiliary services so travelers can purchase vacations through one site, NextTrip.com, and to provide the most qualified inquiries and bookings to property owners and managers.

Laguna Blends, Inc. (CSE: LAG) (LB6A.F) (OTC: LAGBF) Offering Special Recognition to its Affiliates

Since the recent announcement that Laguna Blends, Inc.’s (CSE: LAG) (FSE: LB6A.F) (OTC: LAGBF) existing network of affiliates in the U.S. and Canada has already generated $105,000 in unaudited sales in just the 11 weeks since operations began in March to the end of May, the company has been expanding its rewards for affiliates. Laguna Blends is a marketing company currently focused on the nutritional health benefits derived from hemp. The company generates retail sales through its affiliates program that runs through a cloud-based environment. This environment is a tool where affiliates can undertake extra training, make sales, mentor new affiliates, and monitor their performance. Laguna now has two products: Caffe, an instant coffee beverage infused with whey and hemp protein, and Pro369, a hemp protein powder drink mix granted approval from Health Canada.

Since the impressive reaction to Laguna’s affiliate program, the company has redesigned the “your reward” section of its website in order to show a level of “special recognition” to its affiliates. Most recently, Laguna announced a new program, rewarding its top affiliates with three 2017 Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) Model S cars. This incentive will begin once the company has its first month recording a minimum of $1 million in sales revenue. The second and third cars will be awarded when the company reaches at least $1.25 million and $1.5 million.

But a new Tesla is not all the company is offering as an incentive. Laguna Blends, Inc. is also giving affiliates the chance to be part of an adventure in Las Vegas. The contest is based on points and each affiliate must earn a minimum of 80 points for a trip for one and 120 for a trip for two. The scoring system works as such: an affiliate can be awarded 10 points if they sponsor another affiliate who purchases a Performance Pack, 6 points if they sponsor an affiliate who purchases a Pro Pack, and 3 points if they sponsor an affiliate who purchases a Builder Pack. Alternatively, there is the option to become a qualified Sapphire and sponsor 6 new affiliates with Performance Packs to win a trip for one, or become a qualified Emerald and sponsor 8 affiliates with Performance Packs in order to win a trip for two.

To qualify for the trip, contestants must be on autoship and they must enroll with a Performance Pack. In addition, if they enroll with a Performance Pack during the contest time, they will be given an extra 10 points. The trip to Las Vegas includes a deluxe bedroom for two nights at the Bellagio Hotel and airfare for one or two depending on the qualification. The trip will take place in October 2016 and will encompass the thrill of Las Vegas and the beauty of Bellagio’s renowned Italian elegance. Each qualifier will be given the opportunity to enjoy dinner with the founder and CEO of Laguna Blends, Stuart Gray, as well as one of the most famous shows in town.
