SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) Uncovers Millennials’ Love for Experience-Based Gifts

  • SRAX discovers valuable new trend in consumer behavior, a move toward purchasing experiences for Valentine’s Day
  • BIGtoken has grown to more than 16.5 million participants who are 100% opted-in
  • Consumers may be leaving social media platforms, but they are choosing BIGtoken, where both consumers and marketers benefit

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) is building the largest, most valuable opted-in data set in the world while also providing marketers and consumers tools to unlock the value of data. A digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, SRAX recently announced that its BIGresearch efforts uncovered a new trend in consumer behaviors and opinions this Valentine’s Day (http://ibn.fm/87eK1). The company continues to leverage its increasingly valuable opted-in database of consumer information to glean marketable insights into societal trends.

The BIGresearch announcement explained that SRAX compiled research from more than 53,000 individual Americans who opted in to the study. Beginning in January 2020, BIGtoken users were asked what they planned to give their significant others this year for Valentine’s Day. Millennials, who make up the majority of those who celebrate this holiday, responded that they planned to give experiences.

“Changing values and opinions in consumers greatly affect their consumption patterns, and it’s up to marketers to stay ahead of the curve,” SRAX COO Kristoffer Nelson stated in a news release. “We are thrilled to share results from our latest BIGresearch report, highlighting Valentine’s Day, a holiday that’s seen new movements over the past couple decades, like the rise of Galentine’s Day (ladies celebrating ladies), and more people shopping and celebrating anti-valentine’s day.”

SRAX provided the same high-quality data found in this report to advertisers, for a premium, prior to the February holiday, allowing advertisers to better target consumers who had indicated an interest in their specific campaigns. The sample data provided a look at the value marketers and content owners receive when they purchase access to data gathered through BIGtoken.

BIGtoken is the first consumer-managed data marketplace that places control of personal data in the hands of the consumer. Through BIGtoken, individuals can own and earn from their data, making it an optimal platform for conducting accurate primary research. The 100% opted-in audience has rapidly grown, currently numbering more than 16.5 million participating consumers.

Consumers benefit from controlling their personal data, something the average customer is only just beginning to understand the true value of. SRAX is making this control as simple as downloading an app, answering a few questions and receiving payment. Consumers are discovering brands they love and are willing to be loyal to because they have control over opting into targeted messages rather than having to sort through the noise coming from innumerable businesses, many of whom they would never become customers of regardless of the amount of marketing dollars thrown at them.

Every person is a commodity with potential to generate significant revenue, yet in the past, consumers have never seen a penny of that revenue. SRAX believes that digital data should not be traded in without compensation. BIGtoken, a secure platform, empowers consumers to own and monetize their digital information. The platform is available for download on the App Store and Google Play and has grown to more than 16.5 million participating consumers worldwide, each of whom can log in and check their earnings at their convenience. The future of data is in the hands of consumers, and SRAX is making the transition valuable for all.

Traditionally social media has provided a wealth of information for marketers, but that information is often inaccurate. In addition, consumers have become increasingly aware of the value of their information and have rejected typical data mining efforts. Twitter has increased efforts to delete suspicious accounts (http://ibn.fm/TYm1v) while Facebook refused to revise its tracking practices, consequently losing 15 million users since 2017 (http://ibn.fm/7zBr1). The Daily Mail reported that a third of millennials have permanently given up social media (http://ibn.fm/ayRWf).

Meanwhile, SRAX’s BIGtoken platform is only growing worldwide. Millennials chose to share their Valentine’s Day plans knowing that their data was safe with SRAX, that it would only be accessible to companies they had expressed interest in, and that they, the consumers, would directly receive monetization for sharing. Thanks to SRAX, the power of personal data is in the hands of the consumer – right where it should be.

InsuraGuest Inc.’s Short-Term Policy Coverage Helps Lodging Businesses Respond to Unexpected Concerns

  • Emerging alternative methods of obtaining personal income, such as Uber driving and Airbnb property rentals, are demonstrating a growing need for specialized insurance
  • InsuraGuest provides fill-the-gap insurance coverage to hotel and vacation rental properties, which they can then pass on to their guests, as a means of dealing with surprise short-term stay emergencies and property damage issues
  • The travel accommodations insurer has also entered the European market and expects to find an entry point into Asia by mid-year
  • InsuraGuest’s product can help businesses to minimize damaging publicity about adverse events

As people across the country explore an expanding variety of alternatives for generating personal income, establishing protections against liability lawsuits is becoming more of a concern for such non-traditional business operators. Uber-style ride-share drivers who have encroached on licensed taxi companies’ territories, vacation rental properties entering the space historically defined by hotels and bed and breakfasts, and even equipment owners beginning to compete with construction contractors (http://ibn.fm/T4i4a) may have atypical needs for insurance coverage.

InsuraGuest Inc. is responding to the needs of the lodging industry with its expanding reach as an InsurTech innovator, offering hotel and vacation rental clients a platform for providing their guests fill-the-gap insurance coverage during a property stay. The coverage provides a measure of protection against accidental in-room property damage, lost or stolen goods, accidental medical, and accidental death or dismemberment that is not the properties fault and may otherwise be exempted by the property’s insurance or the guest’s regular coverage.

“The InsuraGuest’s Specialized Hotel Guest Protection Policy helps the hotel and the guest with certain mishaps that may happen during the guest’s stay,” stated Roger Bloss, the CEO of national lodging chain company Cal-Vegas Ltd., and an advisory board member and consultant for InsuraGuest during an interview with Hotel Business last year (http://ibn.fm/AEvtz). “These mishaps can be easily filed and processed by the hotel manager on InsuraGuest’s online platform. Hoteliers who invest in InsuraGuest often see a reduction in their overall primary insurance costs.”

The Hotel Business report states that lodging businesses also benefit from offering the insurance by receiving a small percentage of the policy’s price back in revenue, and by potentially minimizing negative publicity about a contested incident.

“Thirty years ago, if there was litigation between a hotel and a guest, any publicity or public knowledge was minimal,” Bloss stated. “Today, because of social media, thousands – if not millions – will know and, regardless of the outcome, the publicity will not be favorable to the hotel. So, not only can liability be financially damaging to a property, it can destroy its reputation.”

The United States alone has over half a million properties that advertise short-term rental use accessible online through sites like Airbnb and Vrbo (http://ibn.fm/luX02), and analysts at the iPropertyManagement.com website are predicting that vacation rentals will overtake the hotel industry’s revenues during the coming year based on the 150 million-plus Airbnb users worldwide already.

Pacific Rim Cobalt Corp. (CSE: BOLT) (OTCQB: PCRCF) (XFRA: NXFE) Licensed for Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt Project in Indonesia

  • Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt project license fully compliant under updated mining registration process
  • National, provincial and local support received for project
  • Strategic partner and investor discussions have commenced
  • Indonesia is currently the largest nickel producer worldwide

Pacific Rim Cobalt Corp. (CSE: BOLT) (OTCQB: PCRCF) (XFRA: NXFE), an Indonesia-based company focused on developing nickel-cobalt opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region, received the approval of the Republic of Indonesia Ombudsman for the registration of the Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt Project license. The project license will be transferred into a foreign investment license, where it will be administered by the central government, according to a company announcement (http://ibn.fm/5v51V).

The Cyclops Project, located in Papua Province, Indonesia, is mining and environmentally permitted with year-round access. In 2019, the company carried out a large-scale exploration and development program at its flagship 5000-hectare, Cyclops Nickel-Cobalt project. Drilling identified significant horizons of nickel mineralization and bench-scale scoping tests yielded positive results for processing of this nickel rich material.

“2019 was a pivotal year for us, and we’re pleased to carry this momentum into 2020. Obtaining approval from Indonesia’s Ombudsman is an important step toward our goal of securing strategic partnerships and participating in Asia’s growing battery metals supply chain,” Ranjeet Sundher, CEO of Pacific Rim Cobalt, stated in a news release.

Pacific Rim Cobalt Corp. is focused on the development of nickel-cobalt projects ideally located close to China, the world’s first and largest “Gigafactory.” Nickel and cobalt are critical components of lithium-ion batteries and are currently in a global supply deficit. Indonesia is currently the largest nickel producer on earth with a mandate to become a global superpower in the international electric vehicle and battery metals supply chain.

The year 2020 will see continued and consistent development in Pacific Rim Cobalt’s strategy as the company continues to set ambitious milestones with the goal of becoming a leading international player in the EV battery metal sector and creating significant long-term shareholder value. This includes preparations to commission and operate the company’s pilot plant in Canada, which will contain an integrated circuit to produce high-purity nickel and cobalt strip solutions to develop battery-grade nickel and cobalt.

SinglePoint Inc. (SING) Subsidiary Reports Continued Growth as Company Kicks Off 2020 Initiatives

  • SING’s current strategy includes focused marketing, sales-development initiatives
  • Company “strongly committed” to continued development, improvement of Direct Solar America subsidiary
  • SEIA dubs 2020s the solar+ decade; SING set to capitalize on solar becoming leading source of new-energy generation

Following a week during which its subsidiary Direct Solar America reported increased growth in terms of new contract development, SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) notes that the company’s 2020 strategy – which includes new marketing and sales development initiatives – is starting to take shape (http://ibn.fm/FRG97). Designed primarily around Direct Solar America, those initiatives are comprised of starting new canvassing teams, improving customer service and increasing engagement of partnership channels.

“We are strongly committed to continuing the development and improvement of Direct Solar America,” SinglePoint CEO Greg Lambrecht stated in a news release. “The company’s model continues to impress us by the ability to scale with few constraints into new markets. As we continue to see states rolling out incentives, we are able to act quickly and assess the market viability in order to decide whether to roll out teams in that area. Solar continues to be a driving factor and hot topic in the media, which I believe has resulted in the company expanding as rapidly as [it] has. Direct Solar America, as a standalone entity, eclipsed $2 million in revenue in just six months of business.”

SING’s deliberate focus appears well founded as the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports that the U.S. solar market surpassed 2 million installations in Q1 2019 (http://ibn.fm/JlwGP). The association anticipates the industry will hit 3 million installations in 2021 and 4 million installations in 2023, growth that comes as an increasing number of consumers look to address environment concerns and take advantage of reduced installation costs.

The 2020s have been called the solar+ decade by the SEIA. “The 2010s were filled with more highs than lows, and the solar industry is in a strong position to become the leading source of new-energy generation this decade,” added SEIA president and CEO Abigial Ross Hoppe. “Working in collaboration with other clean-energy technologies, including storage, solar will lead a clean-energy economic boom while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

That anticipated growth was also the focus of a recent podcast by SinglePoint CFO Corey A. Lambrecht (http://ibn.fm/JMy1B). “What we are looking for as we get into a full year’s worth of growth is to really accelerate those revenues on the residential side and use that as our foundation going forward into 2020 and beyond,” Lambrecht continued. “And then hopefully as we’ve focused on some commercial opportunities as well, we can add those in. We had nice revenue growth throughout 2019. We learned a lot, absorbed the startup costs, and it was successful.”

The newest member of the SING leadership team, Lambrecht explained that “what intrigued me about Direct Solar is their unique business model. And the business model around them is to really become the solar expert for homeowners and to help installers get qualified candidates out there that are looking to put solar on residential. They do it by the way of an asset-like model, which is very similar to what we built in the landfill diversion space. We didn’t have any trucks or services, and we didn’t own any of the landfills, so basically we were aligned with the material, making sure it had its highest and best use going forward.”

Lambrecht brings with him more than 20 years of experience as a public-company executive with broad experience in strategic acquisitions, corporate turnarounds, new business development, pioneering consumer products, corporate licensing, and interactive technology services. “I think one of the things for the shareholders of SinglePoint to make note of is that I have been involved with a national scale roll-up like this in the past,” Lambrecht added. “There are going to be some bumps along the way, but there are going to be tailwinds driving this particular industry for solar over the next number of years.”

SinglePoint provides investors with the opportunity to make investments across a wide range of assets that currently include but are not limited to solar energy, hemp, mobile-payment applications and more. SING is leveraging technology expertise into emerging opportunities. By building a portfolio in undervalued companies the company is able to provide a rich, diversified holding base and create branded products.

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) Subsidiary Advances Precision Therapeutics by Learning Cancer Behavior, Improving Outcomes

  • Predictive Oncology subsidiary TumorGenesis developing faster, less costly and more accurate PDx cancer models that better mimic patient’s tumor
  • TumorGenesis revolutionary technology will provide pharmaceuticals with quicker, more effective drug development while significantly improving patient outcomes
  • POAI to begin sales of TumorGenesis’ innovative culture media in the first half of 2020

TumorGenesis, a flagship subsidiary of Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI), has made concrete steps in identifying and separating cancer-related biomarkers, which is likely to speed the development of new and effective therapeutics. TumorGenesis media are specially formulated to help researchers isolate and maintain the unique histological and basic biological signatures of ovarian cell types while growing them in the laboratory. This breakthrough approach is likely to help POAI become a frontrunner in providing the needed tools for personalized medicine and new drug development, which carries important implications for the company’s future valuation.

For years, clinicians believed that isolating a patient’s tumor would lead to new understandings about the cancer – this has proven to be only partly true and has resulted in costly, ineffective drug diagnoses that have robbed patients of precious time. To substantially enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatment, a much more diverse picture of patient tumors is needed – one that takes into account each individual’s unique biodiversity and the unique biodiversity of each tumor. POAI’s TumorGenesis division is at the forefront of a whole new trend in cancer research that revolves around patient derived xenografts (PDx).

Science has shifted to these much more accurate PDx models: A cancer patient’s tumor cells are implanted into an alternate environment to simulate the natural development of the tumor. By “fooling the tumor” with an imitative environment, new drugs are able to be tested and potentially approved – all without subjecting cancer patients to aggressive, potentially ineffective drugs. The cancer cells are tricked into thinking they’re still multiplying inside the patient, which makes the tumor behave as it would normally – revealing more precise cancer biomarkers. TumorGenesis’ unique research approach benefits from the parent company’s enormous database of tumor drug response profiles and artificial intelligence-driven predictive modeling capabilities.

TumorGenesis has developed its proprietary methodology using PDx to culture tumor cells in vivo, (i.e. in living organisms). These cell models can be then tested repeatedly for various new drugs to establish personalized therapeutics. This patient-specific data is revolutionizing the way cancer is treated today, and POAI, through its strategic subsidiary arms, poses an attractive option for investors looking to invest in the cancer treatment of tomorrow.

In light of the traditional past practice of studying how cancer cell lines react to induced mutation (a practice that has since proven to be seriously flawed), cancer researchers are shifting their focus to PDx techniques, which have grown into a multibillion-dollar industry. TumorGenesis is poised to become a dominant figure in this emerging space. US Biological Corporation of Salem, Massachusetts has been selected as the distributor of TumorGenesis media and discovery kits.

Parent company POAI already presents a major leap in the cancer research industry. As of today, the company has validated and will begin sales its new PDx models for ovarian cancer (http://ibn.fm/1hsgV) in the first half of this year. The company now has 25 validated ovarian cancer cell types. This signifies remarkable comprehension of the notoriously difficult-to-detect cancer, as 15 out of the 25 cell lines account for nine out of ten ovarian cancers diagnosed worldwide. As researchers separate these types and analyze their reaction to drug samples, POAI’s findings could greatly improve future patient outcomes.

In line with its CancerQuest2020 initiative, ovarian cancer is just POAI’s first target. With monetization, the company plans to diversify and expand its catalogue of validated cancers; future plans include thyroid, breast, colon, and prostate cancers, among others.

TumorGenesis presents POAI with multiple revenue streams. Based on its unique PDx samples, the company is testing drugs individually and holistically against its massive library of ovarian cancer cell types. Using this approach, the company is building kits for cancer research laboratories worldwide. The company is also committed to immunological research. Its proprietary Ovarian Cancer Kit can help simulate a patient’s cancer environment, and these new tools can be used to help isolate various strains of the complex tumor environment that to this date, have never been isolated but seen by genetic and proteomic analysis. Once isolated, these subtypes of tumor cells can be studied, new antibodies developed and new tools researched for killing not just the fast growing tumor variants but also the entire tumor.

The latest developments in TumorGenesis’ PDx efforts could secure a significant segment of the cancer research industry. TumorGenesis’ advances in ovarian cancer models provides POAI a unique competitive advantage that could easily be converted into rapid market expansion. This expansion would not only further validate efficacy and grow market share, it would likely lead to significant increase in POAI’s market valuation. As the company continues achieving milestones of its CancerQuest2020, POAI is setting up to become one of the biotech superstars of 2020 and beyond.

Trxade Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS) Uplists to Nasdaq, Expects Gross Proceeds of $5.2M from Common Stock Sale

  • Trxade announces pricing of a firm commitment public offering of 806,452 shares of its common stock
  • Proceeds to be used as working capital and to fund future acquisitions
  • Company’s B2B online purchasing platform currently has 11,900 pharmacies registered and is registering 100+ New pharmacies per month

Trxade Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MEDS), an integrated drug delivery, procurement, and healthcare platform that offers healthcare buyers and sellers of pharmaceuticals increased profit margins, announced that its common stock has begun trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under new ticker symbol ‘MEDS’, as of February 13, 2020. The company’s common stock will cease trading on the OTCQB.

The company also announced the pricing of a firm commitment public offering of 806,452 shares of its common stock at $6.50 per share. Trxade Group granted a 45-day option to underwriters to buy up to an additional 120,967 shares of common stock to cover overallotments, or post-reverse stock split. The offering was expected to close on or around February 18 (http://nnw.fm/nfIU9) (http://ibn.fm/keqve).

Before deducting offering expenses and underwriting reductions, Trxade Group expects gross proceeds of $5.2 million from the sale of common stock in the offering. The company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general purposes and working capital, as well as to possibly fund acquisitions of other products, companies or technologies.

Dawson James Securities, Inc., Dougherty & Company LLC, and View Trade Securities, Inc. are acting as the underwriters of the offering.

Trxade has developed a proprietary web-based e-commerce platform (S2P – Supplier to Pharmacy) that enables trade among pharmaceutical, accessory, and service buyers and sellers. The platform currently has about 11,500 pharmacies as registered users, through which it reaches between 12 million and 15 million patients. The company aims to reach most, if not all, of the estimated 24,000 independent pharmacies currently operating in the U.S., with combined pharmaceutical purchases of $93 billion per year. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry, which is worth $330 billion, is comprised of 1,500 state-licensed suppliers and more than 65,000 pharmacy facilities, 24,000 of which are independent.

The platform offers multiple benefits such as significant discounts that contribute to a 7-10 percent decrease in the annual purchase expenses for pharmacies; no registration and transaction fees for pharmacies; a simple and intuitive interface that helps pharmacies compare prices and select the best offer with guaranteed security for purchases and payments. Revenue is generated from two primary sources: the growing number of registered users and an increase in the platform’s utilization rate among registered users. The company is adding over 100 pharmacies to its platform per month and has plans to soon provide access to other healthcare providers, such as hospitals, veterinary clinics and long-term care facilities.

The U.S. healthcare market is currently valued around $4 trillion. As the general population ages, further growth is expected, which in turn will have increasing impact on consumers as out-of-pocket expenses rise as well. Trxade aims to lower prescription drug costs by attacking the inefficient value chain, delivering drugs directly to independent pharmacists and consumers, and offering efficient purchasing and price transparency. Its integrated drug procurement, delivery and healthcare platform also delivers increased profit margins.

Founded in 2010, the company is comprised of three synergistic operating platforms: the B2B trading platform with 11,900 registered pharmacies, licensed virtual Wholesale and Mail Order Pharmacy capabilities including the mobile app DelivMeds, as well as the newly acquired assets of Bonum Health, a telemedicine platform.

Sharing Services Global Corporation (SHRG) Supporting, Empowering Elepreneurs through Happiness Conference

  • Sharing Services Global Corporation offers entrepreneurial opportunities, broad range of products and services for contemporary consumers
  • SHRG will be holding the Happiness Revolution Convention 2020 this spring
  • Sharing Services Global facilitates Blue Ocean Strategy, symbolic of immense opportunity in the entrepreneurial space

Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG) is a holding company that owns, operates or controls an interest in companies specializing in the direct-selling industry. The company’s emphasis is on direct selling, and SHRG has grown by thousands of independent sales representatives over the past year. Through one of its strategic avenues to help empower its growing body of Elepreneurs, the company recently announced its 2020 Happiness Conference, slated to take place April 16-19 in Grapevine, Texas.

Planned and executed by SHRG’s wholly owned subsidiary, Elepreneurs LLC, the Happiness Revolution Convention 2020 is designed specifically to benefit, support and encourage the company’s international network of independent representatives, called Elepreneurs. Elepreneurs LLC provides basic and advanced programs for new and experienced entrepreneurs who are concentrating on their direct-sales careers.

Held at the Gaylord Texan, the conference will feature invaluable networking opportunities, as well as meetings with field leaders and the SHRG home office team. Other conference highlights include the launch of new products, new tools and new apparel for the benefit of Elepreneurs; expert training for Elepreneurs in the areas of skills, social media and leadership; and the opportunity to learn from Ray and Jessica Higdon, creators of hit reality show ‘Play to Win’, where motivated contestants tackle sales and business challenges to win a life-changing opportunity (http://ibn.fm/VIquj). Additionally, The Happiness Revolution Convention 2020 offers an array of teambuilding and networking activities, including a welcome party, a ‘70s party, memorable entertainment, a family room, and a variety of team events.

Sharing Services Global’s dedication to maximizing shareholder value is evident in the operation of its two main subsidiaries: Elepreneurs LLC, a direct-selling company, and Elevacity Global LLC, a products company. SHRG’s focuses on companies that sell directly to the consumer through independent representatives or that offer services ranging from health and wellness, energy, technology, insurance services, training and media.

As SHRG focuses on organic growth, expanding its ever-growing team of independent sales representatives, recent statistics indicate that the direct-selling model is flourishing. The Direct Selling Association (DSA) noted in its 2019 Direct Selling Growth and Outlook Survey (http://ibn.fm/GP2re), which was released in June 2019, that “the number of people selling products or services using the direct selling model grew 1.6 percent, with more than 6 million U.S. entrepreneurs selling in either on a part-time or full-time basis.” The report further noted that “the U.S. direct selling industry is moving in a very positive direction. Retail sales were strong, thanks largely to the U.S. direct sales force and their ability to attract millions and millions of customers.”

Also fueling that growth for Sharing Services Global is its Blue Ocean Strategy, which empowers entrepreneurs. The Blue Ocean Strategy involves elevating home-based entrepreneurs; generating organic growth; and creating successful independent business leaders. These business leaders – SHRG Elepreneurs – promote the Elevacity line of products to customers.

Elevacity Global manufactures and distributes all products that Elepreneurs market. The health and wellness products contain superior, scientifically backed ingredients designed to stimulate specific happiness hormones referred to as D.O.S.E., dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins (http://ibn.fm/TbEZM). With its product line of elevated health and wellness products, Elevacity Global is a promising revenue stream for SHRG.

Sharing Services Global continues to maintain a strong position in the worldwide direct-selling market. Of note to investors is that the company is experiencing rapid growth with its record-breaking increase in sales in 2019 due to its launch of innovative health and wellness products. Sharing Services Global is set to dynamically leverage the forecast growth for the direct-selling industry and continues to work to elevate its Elepreneurs to greater levels of success.

(NASDAQ: SRAX) CEO Chris Miglino discusses the company’s milestone achievements in 2019 as well as its ambitious plans for 2020 to harness the brand recognition built on the emerging regulation underpinning consumer data protection (http://ibn.fm/G72dC).

“That was a big year for us in terms of getting our BIGtoken product out to the market and getting new products out to market in general,” Miglino said, summarizing major developments of 2019. “BIGtoken and SRAX IR came to maturity of being able to start generating revenue this year, and we are excited about that going forward. BIGtoken ended up the year with around 16.5 million users on the platform, all of whom signed up within a year.”

SRAX, a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company, is revolutionizing consumer data collection through a secure and transparent platform called BIGtoken. BIGtoken unlocks the data, helping brands reveal their core customers and the characteristics of those customers across different marketing channels, while at the same time allowing consumers to make money from selling the data they create as part of their digital footprint. In addition, the company developed the SRAX IR platform, which helps public companies communicate with existing shareholders and also reach potential investors by leveraging data on their behavior.

Speaking about SRAX IR, Miglino noted that the product is building a valuable community of public stock issuers, with 35 companies joining the platform. SRAX IR helps public companies manage the relationship with their existing and potential investors by leveraging data on stock buyers’ and sellers’ activities to uncover trends in their behavior over time, and by tracking ROI on investor relations programs. Miglino reports that the product is receiving positive feedback from users as it enables them to better communicate with their investor base.

SRAX is currently in an excellent position as BIGtoken is generating multiple revenue streams from market research, customer activation and customer data segments selling to clients such as Proctor & Gamble, Kraft, Sun-Maid and others, said Miglino, who also described ambitious plans for the future: “We have some amazing plans in 2020 about what we’re going to be launching on the platform. 2019 for us was the year to tee up all the platforms and the technology to start generating revenue, and 2020 is where we’re going to start to see both BIGtoken and SRAX IR start to contribute to the top line for the company.”

Miglino pointed out that the year has already started strong as SRAX announced in January that it partnered with Experian to offer financial services to BIGtoken users (http://ibn.fm/tJawt), a deal that Miglino expects to be a big revenue generator both for SRAX and Experian.

Speaking about SRAX’s outlook for 2020, Miglino said that the company established powerful partnerships with both publishers and marketers to bring people on to the BIGtoken platform. As a result, the company expects an increasing number of consumers to join the platform, while SRAX IR anticipates continued growth of recurring revenue streams. “Both platforms are keyed up now to start contributing to the company financially,” said Miglino. “As we move from the development cycle to the revenue cycle, we are very excited about that.”

With the Q3 results released in November 2019 showing that vertical sales increased 17% year on year while net income reached 1.4 million, the financials reflect that SRAX is on the right track towards achieving these plans (http://ibn.fm/jwGAP). As the company continues its strategic growth, SRAX represents an attractive opportunity for investors seeking to capitalize on early entrance into the lucrative consumer-data space.

Nightfood Holdings Inc.’s (NGTF) Better-For-You Ice Cream Now Being Recommended to Pregnant Women by Care Providers

  • Nightfood has superior nutritional profile for mothers-to-be
  • Award-winning ice cream increasingly recommended to pregnant women by service providers.
  • Nightfood aims to leverage untapped pregnancy market of up to 3 million women to accelerate national supermarket rollout

Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) is changing the conversation around ice cream through its subsidiary Nightfood Inc., creator of an award-winning, nutrient-rich ice cream that is taking the pregnancy community by storm. With its unique and healthier nutritional profile, Nightfood is being recommended to pregnant women by their providers as a better option when pregnancy cravings inevitably hit.

Nightfood is in position to dominate the untapped pregnancy ice cream market, which consists of over 3 million American women at any given time. With over 10,000 new women entering the category every day, company management believes this highly motivated consumer demographic can be an immediate and constant source of new and loyal long-term consumers (http://ibn.fm/A1Ak6). Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson believes Nightfood has an unassailable advantage with this highly desirable consumer segment, stating, “The simple fact is that no other ice cream brand can address the pregnancy market with any integrity, because their formulations and nutritional profiles just don’t align the way Nightfood does.”

Nightfood offers expectant mothers a way to satisfy their biologically driven nighttime cravings while feeling good about what they’re putting into their bodies. Unlike any other brand on the market, Nightfood’s ice cream packs extra calcium, magnesium, zinc, fiber, and protein combined with a lower sugar content—all sought-after characteristics of a prenatal diet.

Formulated by sleep and nutrition experts, Nightfood’s unique ice cream also includes ingredients to fight heartburn and other issues that are particularly important to the needs of pregnant women for high-quality sleep, healthy bone density and nervous system health. With an eye still focused on the broader market, Folkson asserts that the company is not rebranding the product as a “pregnancy” ice cream, stating that “Nightfood remains a mainstream product for over 200 million American men and women,” and that “moms and their families can stick with Nightfood through the years, not just through birth.”

Scientific studies confirm links between pregnancy and ice-cream cravings, with research affirming that these cravings are biologically driven. Since pregnant women have increased nutritional needs required to support their health and growing babies, the cravings may be representative of an increased need for certain micro and macro-nutrients. Dr. Lauren Broch, a Nightfood advisor holding an MS in human nutrition whose practice focuses on women’s health, including pregnancy, remarked, “pregnant women are not going to stop craving and eating ice cream, so let’s help them identify a healthier choice for their needs.”

In addition to landing media coverage on major outlets such as The TODAY Show, the Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, USA Today, the Washington Post and Parents Magazine, Nightfood also engages local efforts to increase brand awareness among expectant mothers by sponsoring events at childbirth education workshops, prenatal exercise studios and other businesses that serve pregnant women.

Nightfood management has pointed out that the velocity with which information spreads within this demographic will allow the Nightfood brand to establish a stronghold very quickly. “From social media groups and blogs to the mainstream media, and local workshops, today’s pregnant women share and consume tremendous amounts of information at lightning fast speeds,” Jessie Trinchard, Nightfood’s sales director, stated in a news release.

With multiple major supermarket chains committed to adding Nightfood in the coming weeks, Nightfood is poised to become the preferred ice cream brand of pregnant women across the country right here in 2020.

Headquartered in Tarrytown, New York, Nightfood is revolutionizing the world of night snacking with its innovative offerings. With an eye on America’s $50 billion nighttime snacking problem, Nightfood is focused on improving the late-night snacking choices of consumers while becoming a national brand with a billion-dollar valuation. With increased brand recognition fostered by the uber-connected pregnancy community, Nightfood indicates significant untapped potential for market penetration.
