The Aristocrat Group Corp. (ASCC) Strategy to Bring Easily Mixable Ultra Premium Vodka Brands to the Mass Market is Segment-Defining

President and CEO of national distilled spirits trade association, the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), Peter Cressy, noted in the DISCUS U.S. Market Report for 2014 that premiumization across all categories continued to be a strong source of consumer interest. Another important driver of the sector’s growth – characterized by data points such as a reported 4 percent uptick in supplier sales to over $23 billion last year and a 2.2 percent rise in total sales volume to 210 million cases – has been the emergence of small distillers, bringing unique concepts into the market and inspiring an organic surge in the overall spirits category.

U.S. retail sales of distilled spirits were around $70 billion last year and strong consumer interest in cocktails, as well as improving market access and modernization factors, have contributed to an estimated 3.7 percent growth in the export market too, marking the fifth straight year of such export growth. Vodka in particular has shown renewed interest, with cocktails like the Bloody Mary, Strawberry Cranberry Mule and Vodka Martini in high swing, alongside an ongoing boom for American whiskeys, giving rise to more consumption of evergreen favorites like the Mint Julep, Old Fashioned, and Whiskey Sour. Flavored vodka sales were actually off last year, but the more mixable, traditional vodka volumes grew on-pace with exports, showing 3.7 percent growth year over year.

Nearly half the global alcoholic beverage market is currently dominated by a 40 percent branded drinks footprint according to Transparency Market Research. A footprint featuring powerhouses like Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD), which generates over $1 billion a year from 16 of its top brands alone, as well as the world’s largest producer of spirits, Diageo (NYSE: DEO), and private company Bacardi, the name of which is almost synonymous with rum, thanks to the popularity of its eponymous white rum. Diageo, which gets about 13 percent of its entire sales volume from vodka, is a perfect example of how important brands are in this game, with both the world’s best-selling vodka and the world’s best-selling blended Scotch whiskey, Smirnoff and Johnnie Walker respectively, among its lineup.

It is into this market that The Aristocrat Group Corp. (OTC: ASCC) has stepped with its brand management division, Luxuria Brands, a local Idaho distiller, Distilled Resources, and a bold strategy to bring a series of ultra-premium vodkas to the mass market. Outstanding, high-class vodka without the high-class price tag is a solid strategic move by ASCC to tap into the $5.5 billion and growing U.S. vodka market. The company’s focused branding strategy looks good right out of the gate as the company moves to develop, bottle, and distribute a unique selection of fine vodka products worldwide.

The company’s flagship vodka and the first of two distinct vodka brands, RWB Ultra-Premium Handcrafted Vodka (http://www.rwbvodka.com), is an award-winningly delicate and smooth, ultra-premium vodka made from the highest quality Idaho potatoes. Produced using a unique four-column distillation process that results in a perfectly balanced and eminently mixable vodka, RWB Ultra-Premium Handcrafted Vodka has become a fast favorite. In eye-catching bottles that really pop out on shelves, this living vessel of traditional craftsmanship speaks directly to the widest market of vodka lovers and is rapidly winning more and more retailers, with the biggest distributor in North America currently handling the product’s proliferation.

The Aristocrat Group’s newly announced Big Box Vodka, distilled from Idaho winter wheat through a continuous four-column distillation process and then packaged into an innovative box for convenience and portability, brings the same quality of smooth and crisp ultra-premium vodka to a market segment historically associated with wine: bag-in-box. Whether it stays in the freezer for easy dispensing and mixing at a party, or if it is carried on-the-go to events like Fourth of July festivities, this ultra-premium vodka in a spouted, 1.75-liter box that is twice the volume of standard 750 mL bottles, is an ingenious combination of innovative packaging and a superb spirit.

Intent on rolling out this market segment-defining product during the summer in the most populous U.S. regions, including via retailers in California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada and Texas, The Aristocrat Group is grabbing the bull by both horns here, confident that its strategy for capturing significant market share in the vodka space is indeed quite sound. The company’s recent announcement that it will showcase RWB Ultra-Premium Handcrafted Vodka at a major cocktail festival this July 15 to 19 in New Orleans, an event which will captivate the attention of the entire spirits industry for five days, only adds to the company’s already well defined marketing.

Existing marketing like the RWB Racing effort, whereby the company is racing with a professional prototype program including drivers Robbie Kerr and Nicholas De Crem, is another example of the kind of brand presence reinforcing work ASCC is involved in around the promotion of their vodkas. Engaged in via the Dawson Group, the only team running a professional Radical SR9 and slated to compete in Tudors Sports Car Championship and World Endurance Championship class races, this marketing effort helps flesh-out the brand identity and give it a unique appeal.

MIT Holding, Inc. (MITD) – A Concierge Medical Service Provider Primed for Home Infusion Market

MITD logo

MIT Holding is a single source provider of concierge medical services and products throughout the United States. Through a portfolio of license, contractual and affiliate agreements, the company offers a portfolio of services that includes but is in no way limited to the:

• Administering of intravenous infusions;
• Management of medical services; and
• Provision of in-home therapies.

In a press release dated April 27, 2015, the company revealed that it had achieved positive net income from its operations in 2014, to the tune of over $14,000. This profit amount signaled significant improvement from the previous year’s numbers. It’s also a direct consequence of the company’s renewed focus on its in-home health recovery business and the resulting growth in overall income generated in 2014 (over $1.1 million).

Many aspects of the structure of MIT Holding’s in-home health recovery business, which facilitates and assists patients from the time of their release from a hospital through to a full in-home recovery, were finalized in 2014. The target audience for the business have been determined to be those needing infusion for recovery.

With many infusion therapies costing more than $10,000 per patient, per year and many patients needing special counseling and education regarding their condition and treatment, there is certainly a market for the business.
The two most recognized names in the infusion sector, CVS Health Corp. (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreen Co. (NYSE: WAG), have established footprints into the home infusion market through a series of strategic acquisitions that highlight the growing demand for home infusion services. The usual retail pharmacies and traditional distributors are generally designed to carry inventories of low cost, high volume products, while MIT Holding’s platform is based on the delivery of high cost, low volume specialty pharmaceuticals that have specialized handling and administration requirements.

Today’s United States home infusion market has been estimated at around $16 billion and is forecasted to reach approximately $27 billion by 2020, according to Harris Williams & Co. At a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9% per year, this could mean a significant market opportunity for MIT Holding. Furthermore, the company is anticipating that the demand for low cost, high quality home care will increase as paying patients become aware that they could realize up to 90% in savings on infusion services performed in the home versus in the hospital and that, as a result, this will result in continued growth for its in-home health recovery business. It is little wonder that this is an area of significant focus in its operations.

FastFunds Financial Corp. (FFFC) Partners with Leading Cannabis Industry Marketing Firm on Tommy Chong Green Card

The Tommy Chong Green Card, which is currently under development by FastFunds Financial Corp., inched closer to its national launch on Thursday, as the company announced an exclusive creative agreement with Casa Giallo, Inc. Under the terms of this partnership, Casa Giallo will be responsible for marketing, branding and advertising efforts pertaining to the innovative prepaid loyalty debit card, as well as providing both traditional and social media strategies.

“We chose Casa Giallo due to their capabilities in every phase of creative,” Kurt Martig, president of FastFunds subsidiary Cannabis Merchant Financial Solutions, stated in a news release. “They combine breadth advertising experience with cannabis industry intelligence in a way that will help set us apart in the marketplace.”

Casa Giallo is a recognized leader in the cannabis marketing industry, providing services to a variety of nationally-recognized clients – including Snoop Dogg, Tommy Chong, Eaze, Cloud V and Cannabis International Foundation.

“FastFunds is creating financial service solutions vital to maintaining the cannabis industry’s explosive growth,” stated Chris Halmo, president of Casa Giallo. “We are excited to continue our work with Tommy Chong and his licensed product lines through this partnership.”

The announcement of its arrangement with Casa Giallo capped off what has been an exciting month in the development of the company’s upcoming payments solution. Previously, FastFunds named Soren Holdings and Marketing as the brand and marketing specialist for the Tommy Chong Green Card, adding a 20-year industry veteran to its proven marketing team. Additionally, FastFunds announced the execution of a sales representation agreement with Evergreen Licensing of Northridge, California. Through these partnerships, the company gains strategic access to the resources needed to promote national distribution in the future.

FastFunds’s payments solution is being hailed as a game changing payments alternative for the country’s legal marijuana dispensaries and retailers, which are currently operating as all-cash businesses. Because the drug is still illegal at the federal level, most financial institutions refuse to work with these legal operations for fear of running afoul of federal banking laws. The Tommy Chong Green Card avoids this issue by functioning as a prepaid gift card, placing it outside the legal reach of ambiguous financial regulations.

As the company continues to make progress toward the impending launch of its solution to the cannabis industry’s current ‘cash problem’, it’s an intriguing time for prospective shareholders. Look for FastFunds to build on its recent headway in the months to come, providing a platform for sustainable returns moving forward.

On the Move Systems (OMVS) Focusing on Mid-Market Shippers for Upcoming On-Demand Trucking Market

As On the Move Systems continues development of its “Uber for Trucking” portal, the company is narrowing down its target market by focusing on mid-market haulers as the best potential users of the revolutionary shared economy online app.

Noting that firms in this range often lack sophisticated transport management systems (TMS) to efficiently administer complicated freight networks, OMVS points to a recent survey by Logistics Management, which revealed that only 35 percent of shippers are using TMS in their daily businesses. The same report shows that usage figure drops even lower when categorized by company size, with mid-size and small-size shippers having the lowest TMS adoption rates.

“This survey shows there is great market potential for a portal like ours that will help truckers better manage their operations,” OMVS CEO Robert Wilson stated in the news release. “And it also indicates potential new markets for our shared economy platform we can expand into down the line. We’ve been focused entirely on trucking thus far. However, there’s no reason why our portal can’t be just as effective for other logistical companies that move freight.”

An efficient TMS helps logistics firms to more effectively manage scheduling, routing, carrier selection, and load forwarding, enabling companies to make better use of their assets and labor and giving them an advantage over firms that don’t have such a system. As a result, many leading trucking companies are willing to spend large sums on technology to maximize equipment utilization and more effectively price their services.

OMVS says its new portal can improve efficiency and cost-control by bringing together independent freight haulers and trucking companies into a user-friendly, shared-economy platform.

Passport Potash, Inc. (PPRTF) Continues to Explore Significant Potash Deposits at Promising Holbrook Basin Project

Passport Potash is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and development of advanced potash properties. The company’s primary project is located in the Holbrook Basin of Arizona, which, according to a report by the Arizona Geological Survey, currently contains an estimated six billion tons of potash. In addition to holding significant minable deposits, Passport’s property provides the company with a collection of strategic advantages over international potash development projects – including convenient access to BNSF rail lines, interstate highways and a major power plant located within 25 miles of the site.

Potash is used primarily by the agriculture industry as a potassium-rich form of fertilizer, providing one of the three essential nutrients needed to grow plants. Although it is a generic term used to describe a variety of minerals and manufactured chemicals containing potassium, potash is a fairly limited resource that is found in only a few places around the world. Despite the limited supply, global demand for potash is on the rise due to increasing demand for food and biofuels. For Passport, this demand could translate into an opportunity for strong financial growth moving forward.

In addition to its own property, Passport has entered into a strategic agreement with the nearby Hopi Tribe to work toward the future development of approximately 13,000 acres of contiguous privately-held tribe land, giving the company improved access to the area’s promising potash deposits. Based on historical drilling data, as well as data gathered from the drilling of 52 new holes since 2009, an independent preliminary economic assessment identified an estimated 398 million tons of mineable potash on the combined property, demonstrating the immense growth potential for Passport as it approaches the commencement of mining operations.

Currently, the company is engaged in pre-feasibility and feasibility studies to determine the best approach to initiating mining operations at its sizable project. For prospective shareholders, the estimated volume of potash onsite, as well as the growing global demand for potassium-rich fertilizers, makes Passport an intriguing early investment opportunity. Look for the company to continue making strides toward the development of its Holbrook Basin project in the months to come.

In the second quarter of 2015, the company leveraged this market performance to record strong financial results. For the period, Tennant recorded a five percent year-over-year increase in sales throughout the Americas, which are its largest operating regions.

“Tennant posted another solid quarter, led by robust sales to strategic accounts in North America and global sales of new products,” Chris Killingstad, president and chief executive officer of Tennant, stated in a news release. “Overall, we remain pleased with the company’s progress against our organic sales growth goals during the 2015 second quarter and first half, as we strive to reach $1 billion in revenues by 2017.”

Moving forward, Tennant plans to persist toward its strategic growth goal through the continued development of a strong new product pipeline aimed at expanding its presence in emerging markets.
