• Forecasters predicting 60% chance for “above-normal” 2020 hurricane season
• NSRI provides services that transform natural debris into useful chemical-free, environmentally beneficial products
• Impressive first-quarter results include over $6 million in revenues, over $1.7 million gross profit

Forecasters from the National Oceanic Administration Association are predicting a 60% chance for an “above-normal” 2020 hurricane season, including up to 6 major hurricanes with winds of 111 mph or higher (http://ibn.fm/UEyJ7). With a combination of expertise and dedication to the environment, National Storm Recovery (OTC: NSRI) is positioned to tackle the ecological effects of hurricanes through its services that include tree services, debris hauling, bio-mass recycling, and mulch manufacturing services.

Rather than allowing hurricane waste to be diverted into landfills, NSRI transforms this valuable natural debris into useful chemical-free products that benefit the environment.

Strong hurricane winds harm everything in their path, including urban landscapes, woody vegetation, and ecologically-diverse forests that include a myriad of tree species (http://ibn.fm/P4EF0). Impacts on individual trees can be especially profound, with effects that include severe physical damage, defoliation, partial breakage, dropped branches, toppling, and even complete uprooting.

NSRI provides innovative solutions that are based on principles of sustainability and recyclability, transforming tree debris into a variety of organic, attractive, next-generation mulch products that are packaged and marketed to garden hobbyists and professional landscapers. With its recent acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing, a 35-year leader and innovator in the space, the company is now ready to respond with full-service solutions while benefiting the environment and improving its bottom line.

“We’re in a very solid position after our recent acquisition,” said NSRI Chief Executive Officer Tony Raynor in a recent interview (http://ibn.fm/7c63h). “We were also awarded three long-term three-year contracts that are already in place for storm recovery.

“We’re prepared to jump right into the action and help people get their cities back in order again, and not only take the tree debris that is knocked down…we take it, reprocess it and make it into usable products again.”

Through the acquisition of Mulch Manufacturing, Inc., NSRI was able to leverage the company’s established networks in sales, distribution and production, synergizing the activities of both companies into what Raynor calls “The Sustainable Green Team.”

After an impressive first quarter that includes revenues of over $6.2 million and gross profits of over $1.7 million (http://ibn.fm/pIXeg), the company expects to exceed expectations this year as it enters what’s expected to become a historically busy hurricane season.

“At the end of the day, it’s important to share that belief that we are stewards of the environment, and that shouldn’t be understated,” Raynor noted. “We really enjoy and we’re passionate about what we do, and our numbers came out great and we’re excited about sharing that with the public.”

Based in Florida, NSRI’s client base includes governmental, residential and commercial customers. With an eye on sustainability and stewardship towards the environment, NSRI plans to continue growing its operations from a combination of both organic growth strategies and strategic acquisitions.

• Recent article reports ISWH is “highly diversified company with a litany of recent catalysts”
• ISWH has been reporting strong financial data with “growth trend that is somewhat striking on a sequential quarterly basis”
• ISW Holdings is creating successful companies, partnerships in array of disruptive industries

During this economically uncertain time, investors are looking for diverse, stable options. International Spirits & Wellness Holdings (OTC: ISWH) (“ISW Holdings”), a global brand-management holdings company, is a “highly diversified company with a litany of recent catalysts” that make it “worthy of a fresh look,” reports a recent MMJ article (http://ibn.fm/9Y6P9).

The article, titled “A Fresh Look at ISWH Holdings,” notes that ISWH is “making aggressive strides to dramatically expand both its top-line commercial presence and its segmentation, with partnerships placing it in renewable energies, cryptocurrency mining, and data processing.”

In addition to its impressive expansion strategy, the article notes that ISWH has been reporting strong financial data in recent quarters, with a “growth trend that is somewhat striking on a sequential quarterly basis, including 2019 revenues of well over $500K. Management also noted in a recent release that these results were achieved on accelerating sequential quarterly growth, with nearly half of those revenues appearing in Q4. Sequential growth in Q3 (versus Q2) was 26%. Sequential growth in Q4 (versus Q3) was 29%.”

Certainly, ISW Holdings looks to be on a strong trajectory. Initially ISWH established itself as a technology, home healthcare and wellness company focused on reshaping different sectors across various industries. The company has established a strong reputation for using state-of-the-art nanotechnology processes to develop a wide range of effective nano-infused wellness and restoration products.

With that impressive foundation and expert insight, the company then began creating successful companies and partnerships in an array of disruptive industries, including cryptocurrency mining via its recently announced joint-venture agreement with Bit5ive, an official distribution partner of Bitmain (http://ibn.fm/niBud). This move represents significant potential for the company, as the Bitcoin technology market, currently valued at more than $293 million, is forecast to reach $477 million by 2025.

The move into crypto mining aligns solidly with ISWH’s core mission, which is to enhance the sectors it is involved in by implementing innovative services and products ready to meet the demands of a changing world. With that in mind, the company focuses on utilizing its powerful expertise, resources and innovative software to establish market-leading companies and partnerships. This savvy strategy enables ISW Holdings to return maximum shareholder value.

Based in Nevada, ISW Holdings is a diversified portfolio company comprised of essential business lines that serve consumer product demands. The company’s expertise lies in strategic brand development and early-growth facilitation, as well as brand identity through its proprietary procurement process. Together with its partners, ISWH seeks to provide a structure that meets large scalability demands as well as anticipated marketplace needs.

• Customers keep coming back for their D.O.S.E. of happiness
• Over the last year, company has strategically set aside money, paid off debts and reduced excess expenditures
• SHRG uniquely equipped with leadership team capable of handling change, a necessary skill in 2020

Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG) is focused on elevating entrepreneurs and reshaping how they succeed in today’s marketplace. A diversified company dedicated to maximizing shareholder value, SHRG operates two primary subsidiaries: Elepreneurs US Holdings LLC, a marketing company in direct selling, and Elevacity US Holdings LLC, a products company.

Elepreneurs Holdings is growing an international network of home-based entrepreneurs the company refers to as Elepreneurs, a unique combination of elevate + entrepreneurs = Elepreneurs. SHRG Elepreneurs are encouraged not to compete in the direct-selling market but to succeed in such a way that there is no competition.

The company works to ensure that every Elepreneur has access to a community of support, next-generation customer-relationship management, lead generation, training and mentorship. The goal is to take everyday entrepreneurs and help elevate them to their max potential. In doing so, Sharing Services is redefining success.

As part of that process, SHRG provides a quality line of proprietary products through its second subsidiary, Elevacity Holdings US LLC. Elevacity has created a health and wellness product line that consists of nutraceutical products all formulated to offer a unique combination dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins. The company refers to this proprietary formulation of hormones and neurotransmitters, proven to promote happiness and well-being, as D.O.S.E. The purpose of every D.O.S.E. product to elevate the happiness and well-being of the consumer, and customers have developed a deep loyalty to their daily dose of happy.

The driving mission behind Elepreneurs and Elevacity is to live life elevated and to define success on one’s own terms. Throughout the challenges of COVID-19, this philosophy has guided the company in strategic decision making and a way forward.

While other companies within the direct-selling industry were receiving warnings from the Federal Trade Commission (http://ibn.fm/Ec5Q6), Elevacity was busy preparing for the launch of its newest product, CoffeeMAX. Throughout the pandemic, SHRG has focused on keeping customers and Elepreneurs informed and closely following the guidelines. Already working with an international network, the company was ready to make the fast adjustments needed to survive during the worldwide pandemic.

“Over the last 12 months, we have carefully and purposely set aside money for use in case of emergencies,” said Elevacity president and CEO Keith Halls (http://ibn.fm/J04p2). “We have paid off most debts, eliminated excess expenditures and saved for the future. Because of such actions, we are confident that we will be able to weather and withstand this storm.”

Halls also notes that the company purchased key formula ingredients in advance to not interrupt the manufacturing and logistics of delivery in the event of more unforeseen challenges to the supply line. Finally, Halls encourages Elevacity’s valued customers to reach out and help others, to provide hope and support to one another during these challenging times.

Clearly, SHRG has a leadership team capable of handling change. In March 2018, John “JT” Thatch was appointed president and CEO of SHRG. He brought the company his wealth of experience in fast-paced and flexible environments, an invaluable skill in the ever-changing climate of 2020.

“We recognize the unique challenges our country is facing during these unprecedented times,” Thatch noted, in his own statement regarding COVID-19 (http://ibn.fm/Akv85). “We want to assure you that we are fully operational and functional. Our ‘Elepreneurs’ distributor system remains vibrant and focused. Customer service requests are being handled remotely by our excellent staff. Our fulfillment and logistics partners are currently open and processing orders. And, our executive and management staff are working diligently to conduct our operations in a robust and timely manner.

“We all share the common objective of providing the best in health and wellness products available on the market today,” he continued. “We stand shoulder to shoulder in navigating through this journey with you. Moreover, we are confident that all of us will come back stronger than ever because . . . we are stronger together as a team.”

• Investors have been showing exuberance in gold during the novel coronavirus pandemic, driving prices up nearly 44 percent as of mid-June since a low in September 2018
• Bullfrog Gold Corp. continues to achieve significant gold intercepts at the historically productive Bullfrog Project in southwestern Nevada, with assay reports on nine additional holes that better define the Bullfrog resources and pit limits and potential for expansions. One hole drilled in the Mystery Hill pit showed an intersection of 110 meters averaging 0.41 g gold/t, including 26 meters of 0.91 g/t, while another intersected 91 meters averaging 0.33 g/t and an upper interval of 6 meters averaging 0.53 g/t
• Bullfrog Gold is fulfilling a final work commitment that will let the company buy a 100 percent interest in the project this Septemberfrom Barrick Bullfrog Inc (Barrick) , which produced more than 2 million ounces of gold from the project until depletion of ore reserves in early 1999

Bullfrog Gold (CSE: BFG) (OTCQB: BFGC) (FSE: 11B) is well poised to use its large database , existing resources and poterntial exploration targtes to capitalize on the sudden surge in gold demand during the novel coronavirus pandemic, which in June had taken the market to close to a 44 percent increase since its $1,202.44 low in September 2018 (http://ibn.fm/waesO).

Bullfrog Gold has recently completed a 25-hole strategic drilling program on the 5,250-acre Bullfrog Project lands outside of Beatty, Nev., accessible from Las Vegas’ transportation hub 125 miles to the southeast. Assay results from the exploratory drilling have been coming back in stages, and on June 30 the company announced the addition of nine assays to the initial six holes whose results were announced a couple weeks earlier (http://ibn.fm/mxQfU).

The hole assays continue to show significant gold intercepts that better define all resource classifications within a potential expansion of the Mystery Hill deposit within the existing Bullfrog pit. The other holes were drilled to better define resource and pit expansions to   the Montgomery-Shoshone deposit and initially test the new Paradise Ridge exploration target (http://ibn.fm/e1S6C). The Bullfrog mine area is in the heart of one of the most active gold regions in the world and is being aggressively explored by AngloGold, Kinross Gold Coeur Mining, and Corvus Gold.

Most of the holes are on Barrick’s lands where more than one million ounces of the total 2.3 million ounces of gold were recovered during the 1990s using conventional milling operations (http://ibn.fm/MTDg8). Bullfrog Gold has obtained a significant dataset from Barrick with 155 miles of drill information.

The nine new assay results include intersections in the Mystery Hill area showing 110 meters averaging 0.41 g/t of gold in one of the holes and 91 meters averaging 0.33 g/t in another, including notable segments of 26 meters of 0.91 g/t and 6 meters averaging 0.53 g/t. A third hole showed an intercept of 3.22 g/t across 8 meters starting at 46 meters deep.

Most of the new intercepts are not in areas previously included in measured and indicated resource classifications. The previous NI 43-101-compliant resource estimates within parts of the project area show 525,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.02 gold g/t in base case pit plans using a $1,200 gold price and 72 percent heap leach recovery. Other inferred resources were estimated at 110,000 ounces of gold averaging 1.2 g/t.

Bullfrog Gold is enthused about the project’s potential, particularly given recent market price trends and metallurgical test programs that have shown Bullfrog resources are highly amenable to producing very fine leach feeds and achieving an average 85% gold recovery using high pressure grinding rolls rather than conventional crushing equipment. .

Barrick ceased milling operations upon depletion of ore reserves in 1999. During the decade of project operations, Barrick extracted about 26.1 million metric tons of open pit and underground ores from Bullfrog’s epithermal gold systems, averaging 2.98 g/t gold and 4.57 g/t silver.

In early July, Bullfrog Gold expects to receive the remaining assays from three remaining holes in the Montgomery-Shoshone deposit, five holes in the Mystery Hill deposit and two holes in the new Paradise Ridge target.

• Hemp emerging as a versatile, sustainable alternative that is easily grown with minimal water, without pesticides
• SING leveraging growth in hemp industry through 1606 Hemp, Klen subsidiaries
• 1606 Hemp achieved 133% increase in quarterly sales growth with expected $5.5 million in annual sales revenue per 1,000 active accounts

With hemp making headlines for its versatility and sustainability in the production of many biodegradable materials, SinglePoint (OTCQB: SING), a diversified holding company with operations in multiple industries and verticals, is leveraging this trend with multiple subsidiary businesses in this hypergrowth industry.

Along with its 1606 Hemp combustible hemp cigarette brand and its Klen sanitizer fortified with hemp seed oil, SING is positioned to benefit from hemp’s increasing use in mainstream products as the company expands operations through its aggressive acquisition strategy.

Prior to its prohibition, hemp was historically used in a wide variety of consumer products due to its ability to grow prolifically with little water and no pesticides (http://ibn.fm/JRAFG). Aside from textiles, hemp is also increasingly being used to replace plastic in many common household items. With over 300 million tons of plastic produced every year, only 10% of that plastic is recycled (http://ibn.fm/2TzEI). Hemp-based plastics, on the other hand, decompose in three to six months in ideal conditions. Not only are they more sustainable, but hemp-based plastics are also stronger and safer because they do not contain the dangerous toxins found in conventional carbon-based plastic. Besides its use in textiles, the biofuel industry represents another potential application for the hemp plant. Since cannabis is a weed that grows easily, it may give communities the opportunity to manufacture their own energy within a biofuel-based infrastructure on a decentralized power grid.

SING has shown an intuitive interest in the hem industry, seeing its potential long before CBD products hit the mainstream. Through its strategy of acquiring a significant equity stake in emerging businesses, SING became directly involved in the operation of several hemp-based companies such as 1606 Hemp, its smokable hemp brand. Featuring U.S.-grown pre-rolls cultivated to high standards, 1606 Hemp offers a smooth combustible hemp experience with high CBD content, minimal THC and zero nicotine. The company’s successful sales marketing strategy, along with its social media campaign, led to an impressive 133% quarter-on-quarter sales increase earlier this year, with expectations of up to $5.5 million in annual sales revenue per 1,000 active accounts (http://ibn.fm/jXAXf).

Klen Hands is another hemp-based brand that is wholly-owned, developed and manufactured by SinglePoint. Featuring the addition of hemp seed oil to the product, Klen Hands features moisturizing elements that protect hands and retain moisture while safely and effectively disinfecting hands of all skin types.

SinglePoint’s mission is to capture opportunities through an aggressive expansion strategy across a broad range of assets in emerging industries. Guided by a visionary leadership team, the company typically acquires companies in emerging industries and grows them through strategic capital injections coupled with management’s expertise in sales, marketing, technology and engineering.

• Growing use of technology, social media and increased interest in gig-economy opportunities create significant changes in direct marketing space
• Stigma of work-from-home jobs has shifted radically in 2020
• SHRG operates through a business model primed and ready to meet the challenges of the current cultural shift

The last few years have seen a great deal of change in the direct-selling industry. Sharing Services Global Corporation (OTCQB: SHRG), a company specializing in the direct-selling industry and network marketing, has risen to the challenge by providing high-quality products and elevating its independent contractors.

A recent article in Direct Selling News, titled “A Lifetime of Change In One Decade,” emphasizes the use of technology, social media and increased interest in gig economy opportunities as being key factors to shifts in how direct selling and network marketing function (http://ibn.fm/MaxFV).

All of these changes have provided an avenue for companies such as Sharing Services to step up and lead the way.

“The direct-selling space is evolving from the days when it was sort of a niche way to do business,” states securities analyst Doug Lane in the article. “Given advancements in technology and social selling, direct selling is becoming more mainstream.”

The stigma of work from home jobs has shifted significantly in recent years, with the current pandemic fueling that trend. “The fast-moving coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of Americans to work from home, with no immediate end in sight,” noted a recent NBC News article (http://ibn.fm/UBLzw). “Dates for when employees will return to office buildings move later and later or remain uncertain for many companies. On Tuesday, Twitter told its employees that many of them will be allowed to work from home in perpetuity, even after the pandemic ends. The move signaled a growing shift in attitudes in certain industries toward remote working — a change that could have lasting implications.”

The events of 2020 have catapulted changes to the culture that will significantly affect the direct-selling and work-from-home spaces. SHRG’s business model melds together three keys to success that benefit from this shift and that position the company to meet the challenges and opportunities resulting from these cultural shifts. Those keys are:

• Elevating home-based entrepreneurs
• Generating organic growth
• Creating independent business leaders

SHRG believes strongly in partnering with entrepreneurs, equipping them with training and quality resources to support and boost their success. The company refers to these individuals as Elepreneurs, or an elevated entrepreneur. This network of home-based entrepreneurs is growing internationally, now numbering more than 25,000 globally. This consistent growth is in large part because of the company’s strong online training, mentorship and network system.

Sharing Services companies are not simply selling a product, the company is inviting entrepreneurs to join a community that uplifts and trains for success. Through its two wholly owned subsidiaries — Elepreneurs US LLC and Elevacity Global US LLC — SHRG offers services and products to elevate the lives of entrepreneurs and their customers.

Elepreneurs are encouraged to join a movement that aligns with purpose. This is a direct call to all those who are searching in the gig economy for something more than just a paycheck. SHRG is providing the opportunity for individuals to become independent business leaders in charge of their own future, their own schedules, and their own happiness. In essence, Sharing Services is offering happiness, freedom and purpose to those who are tired of selling their time for nothing more than a paycheck. They are addressing a need in America’s culture as people in 2020 access what they find important in life and begin to make changes that align more toward their individual values.

• Estimates suggest obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) costs the US economy $150 billion annually
• Medicare beneficiaries with obstructive sleep apnea cost taxpayers $19,566 per year
• Company’s oral appliances have shown to be effective in over 15,000 patients, successfully treated worldwide by approximately 1,250 trained dentists and doctors

It is estimated that obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”) affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide, of which 54 million are Americans (http://ibn.fm/jBfMi). According to a study published by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, individuals with untreated OSA face increased health care utilization (“HCU”) and costs across all service aspects. Costs and HCU were evaluated by researchers over the period of a year leading up to the initiation of treatment. According to Emerson Wickwire, PhD, a lead author of the study, sleep disorders represent a massive economic burden on the U.S. health care system. Medicare beneficiaries with obstructive sleep apnea cost taxpayers an additional $19,566 per year. They also use more emergency, outpatient, inpatient, prescription health services, and medical services in general (http://ibn.fm/ZcFhY).

According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the economic burden of undiagnosed sleep apnea is about $150 billion a year in the U.S. alone, and diagnosing and treating every patient who is suffering from the condition may generate annual savings of $100 billion (http://ibn.fm/veMVc).

Vivos Therapeutics’ proprietary Vivos System(R) has the potential to help reduce these costs significantly, being the first treatment modality for mild to moderate OSA that can potentially do away with the need for lifelong interventions. The system’s typical 18-24 month treatment time is a fraction of that of alternative treatments. Adults often experience immediate relief with potentially lasting benefits in a matter of months, with the possibility of eliminating the need for surgery (http://ibn.fm/zqmWB).

The multidisciplinary treatment protocol is comprised of comfortable and customized oral devices along with other therapies as needed. In most patient’s, the upper airway is effectively increased and enhanced over the course of treatment, which typically ranges from 18 to 24 months. The purpose is to reduce tissue obstructions causing OSA. Vivos’ technology represents the first true hope of an effective non-surgical OSA solution (http://ibn.fm/7GBpF).

Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. offers a new and superior alternative for treating obstructive sleep apnea and the company believes its technology represents the most important breakthrough in OSA treatment since CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), which involves the use of special face or nasal masks.

Almost all commercial health insurance carriers offer reimbursement for the Vivos System and products.  Individual policies and reimbursement options will vary based on an individual’s policy. These unique oral devices are non-invasive and yet, unlike other OSA approaches, treat the underlying condition. Vivos is expanding its technology applications and is now running WIRB approved clinical trials to evaluate oral appliance therapy in pediatrics as the FDA does not currently recognize the treatment sleep disorder breathing for pediatrics with oral appliance therapy. The Vivos System treats the underlying condition for people of all ages.

Vivos Therapeutics is an emerging global leader in the treatment of OSA. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, the company utilizes proprietary, groundbreaking technology; a proven, go-to-market strategy; and a powerful executive team dedicated to changing the face of health care by helping people of all ages breathe and sleep properly.

Trained dentists use the Vivos System to treat the conditions associated with SDB and OSA. The company is rapidly expanding the use of the Vivos System by involving dentists earlier and more actively in the process of diagnosing and treating OSA.  In support of its growth strategy, Vivos has established FDA-approved and registered manufacturing facilities in the United States, Canada and Asia.  The company’s oral appliances have shown to be effective in over 15,000 patients successfully treated worldwide by approximately 1,250 trained dentists.

• SRAX derives consumer data from BIGtoken platform that compensates over 16 million users from more than 30 countries for access to their data
• BIGtoken provides brands with ability to target and access specific niche groups across 25,000 unique points of segmentation

The business of big data is evolving to benefit both consumers and marketers as demonstrated by the success of SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX), a technology company focused on digital marketing and consumer data management. The Company’s BIGtoken platform compensates over 16 million users with cash or gift cards when they opt in to give access to their data while concurrently creating valuable data sets that can be accessed by marketers for a fee.

“Big marketers are really interested in this,” said SRAX CEO and founder Christopher Miglino in an interview on the LA Weekly Podcast with Brian Calle (http://ibn.fm/dIMJd). “They don’t want to buy bad data anymore. They want to buy data from consumers that have said ‘yes, you have the right to market to me’, so we’ve found ourselves in a unique spot.”

SRAX’s tools deliver a digital competitive advantage for companies in several verticals that include consumer goods, investor relations, luxury, and lifestyle. The Company’s technology unlocks data to reveal brands’ core consumers and their characteristics across several marketing channels by integrating all aspects of the advertising experience into a single platform. Besides giving access to marketers for a fee, SRAX also engages in the sale of specialized data sets across several verticals.

“Our primary focus is figuring out ways to monetize different data sets. We had a business a few years ago where we aggregated data on doctors in the country and then we sold that data,” said Miglinio, referring to SRAX’s healthcare vertical, SRAX MD, that sold for a $43.5 million consideration while allowing SRAX to retain a 31% ownership.

Investor relations is another key area for SRAX that has increased in importance during these unprecedented economic times, elevating demand for virtual investor relations platforms. Through SRAX’s Sequire platform, CEOs & CFOs of publicly traded companies are now able to monitor the trading behaviors of their investors while the investors in turn are kept informed on corporate prospects.

The power of big data to meet the demands of the increasingly demanding and competitive economic landscape is exemplified by SRAX’s services that give clients the ability to target and access specific niche groups across 25,000 unique points of segmentation. The platform’s unique interface gives users the power to submit specialized queries that include location and purchase history.

Besides serving clients on both sides of the data trade, SRAX also gives back to the community by allowing BIGtoken users to donate their earnings to charity through its partnerships with several high-profile, nonprofit associations. Through the program, BIGtoken users are able to support efforts put forward by the American Heart Association, HealthCorps and The ALS Association.

• The Driveway app will allow users to buy, sell and trade vehicles from their smart phones regardless of location
• Integrated with PowerBand’s cloud-based auto trading platform, the app will ensure that both consumers and dealers get the best value for a vehicle in a virtual auction
• PowerBand is currently in the process of integrating credit financing agreements from U.S. financial institutions into its platform to allow users access to financing and leasing solutions

PowerBand Solutions (TSX.V: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FRA: 1ZVA), the company that developed and launched a cloud-based platform that lets people buy and sell vehicles with never-seen-before speed, simplicity, and cost-efficiency, is preparing to release its Driveway consumer app across the United States. The app will be integrated with PowerBand’s innovative virtual transaction platform and will allow consumers to sell, buy and trade vehicles from their smart phones and other devices regardless of location (http://ibn.fm/2Xdy6).

Developed by PowerBand, the app was initially launched for residents of Northwest Arkansas and piloted by D2D Auto Auctions LLC, a network facilitating virtual vehicle auctions between dealers across the country to give consumers the ability to secure live bids on their vehicle.  D2D is co-owned by PowerBand and Arkansas-based financier Bryan Hunt, Director of J.B Hunt Transport.

According to Hunt, the app is designed to answer consumers’ need for a fast and reliable way to trade used cars and trucks from any location, by removing the cost and need of delivering vehicles to physical auctions. “With the Driveaway app, consumers can get the fair value of a vehicle. This is another part of our strategy to assist in the recovery of the automotive sector by allowing consumers to purchase cars from any location, using our smart phones,” Hunt added.

The Driveway app is a crucial piece of PowerBand’s platform, which removes unnecessary middlemen and fees when a vehicle is purchased or sold, PowerBand CEO Kelly Jennings explained. “Driveaway will ensure that consumers and dealers get the best value for a vehicle in an auction, and that consumers have a wider range of choices when they buy a used car.”

While Driveaway is not the only way to trade vehicles online, the alternatives offered by other providers only deal with one dealership and don’t make it possible to buy, sell, lease, trade, and get insurance and other products from anywhere, nationwide, from any digital device.

Users of PowerBand’s platform and app will also be able to get approvals for financing and leasing, as the company is currently in the process of integrating credit financing agreements from U.S. financial institutions into its platform. These credit facility agreements will be announced as they are finalized in the coming weeks.

To prepare its first vehicle lease originations and complete the launch of its Driveway app, PowerBand recently accepted a $2.7 million investment from Texas-based D&P Holdings. The investment was received via subsidiary PowerBand Solutions US Inc. and is part of a D&P commitment to invest up to $10 million as a whole in the company, as it believes the cloud-based platform has the potential to transform the way Americans buy, sell, lease and finance vehicles, according to John Armstrong, CEO of D&P Holdings. As one of the largest administrators of automotive warranty and insurance products in the U.S., D&P works directly with more than 850 dealerships across the country. The company will also leverage PowerBand’s platform to offer consumers automotive insurance products, Armstrong added.

Developed by a team of experienced automotive, technology and finance experts, PowerBand Solutions’ platform caters to a growing need and demand for online auto trading alternatives as e-commerce is spreading in the automotive sector and an ever-growing number of people are looking for an enhanced and more personalized customer experience.

Additionally, social distancing rules imposed by the ongoing pandemic have increased this already significant demand for online alternatives. According to the ‘Digital Commerce 360 Online Vehicle Shopper 2019’ survey, conducted among 1,089 buyers, 49% are willing to purchase a new vehicle entirely online (http://ibn.fm/bAaJ9). According to Frost & Sullivan, consumers may purchase as many as 1.3 million vehicles annually online as soon as 2035 (http://ibn.fm/My8oz). And nearly 90% of Americans report they dislike the car dealership experience, noting they feel anxious or uncomfortable in dealership settings.

PowerBand is positioned to capitalize on these trends by disrupting the antiquated business model of the automotive industry, replacing distrust and confusion with transparency, access to information and ease of use.

Despite unusual events creating an uncertain economic landscape, 2020 is proving to be a successful year so far for SinglePoint (OTCQB: SING), a diversified holdings company with operations in several high-performance market sectors. With impressive results coming from both their 1606 Hemp and Direct Solar subsidiaries, SING continues to successfully propel its business model forward by acquiring significant stakes in businesses and then fast-tracking their growth with operations, development, and management expertise.

SING continues to make gains with 1606 Hemp, its iconic smokable hemp brand that imparts the richness and quality of American-grown, harvested and cured hemp flower, processed according to quality assurance techniques that date back to the year 1606. Touted as a safer alternative to tobacco, 1606 Hemp cigarettes saw a remarkable 133% quarter-on-quarter increase in sales growth, along with increased distribution to new retail outlets across the country (http://ibn.fm/J7Lfv).

“We have over 400 storefront locations now in about 20 different states. We’ve officially launched our 6-pack point-of-sale display and that’s going really well. The beautiful thing about that is that it can sit right there (on the counter),“commented SING president Wil Ralston in a recent television interview (http://ibn.fm/bb3hL).

Social media and product marketing have played key roles in the successful growth of 1606 Hemp. Leveraging the popularity of key influencers in the hemp space forms part of 1606 Hemp’s social media strategy, in addition to enriching the consumer experience with lighters, ashtrays and hats branded with the 1606 logo.

“Everything we’ve done, we’ve been trying to do it to the next level and being able to position this brand as a leading brand within this market. In doing that we’ve gained over 20,000 followers on Instagram and multiple Youtube views,” commented Ralston on the growth strategy.

When asked about fulfillment issues that may arise from the boost in online sales, Ralston stated that “there are plenty of opportunities for us to continue to fulfill. We’ve got two different partners that can manufacture more than enough for us. We’re also able to expand beyond that as there is a lot of hemp being grown right now.”

Aside from expanding its footprint in the hemp industry, SING’s subsidiary Direct Solar is positioned to continue growing through the launch of the first phase of its new website aimed at streamlining the online purchasing process for residential solar.

“We are working on a brand-new site where a customer can come onto our site, put in their address and information, and we can get all the needed documents in order to be able to give you a quote for your house, and that’s version 1.0. When we come out with the second version, we’ll be able to actually get you pre-approved for a loan,” Ralston explained, highlighting SING’s aim to capitalize on the consumer shift to purchasing high-value items online. Recent financial statements released are proving the success of this strategy, showing a 300% increase in Q1 revenue and gross profit, with the majority of that growth coming from the acquisition of Direct Solar (http://ibn.fm/8Mu28).

SinglePoint has grown from a full-service mobile technology provider into a recognized brand that benefits from multiple revenue streams through its diverse portfolio of undervalued subsidiaries. The company strives to create long-term value for its shareholders by offering opportunities to invest across a diverse range of industries.
