LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. (OTC: LVVV) is a forward-thinking company specializing in identifying and monetizing current and future trends in the health and wellness industry. The company recognizes significant potential in the multibillion-dollar cannabis industry and operates at the forefront for acquisition and management of licensed cannabis real estate locations and the research, development and commercialization of high-end products for distribution throughout California.

During the past two years, LiveWire has diligently researched, secured, designed and set up several fully compliant and permitted cannabis operations in locations in California, including a state-wide distribution license from the Bureau of Cannabis Control. The company is focused on acquiring compliant real estate properties for cannabis operations and entering into operation agreements and strategic alliances to build teams of carefully selected and vetted operators, horticulturists, extractors, distributors and establish research partnerships. Its current portfolio of cannabis operations consists of the following properties:

PODs and Distribution in Coachella, California

For the past year, LiveWire has operated high-tech, state-of-the-art production structures, or “PODs” for its cannabis nursery business. Coachella is also home to the company’s statewide distribution headquarters. Both entities operate under LiveWire’s majority owned subsidiary, GHC Ventures. The company is currently in the process to strategically centralize all operations at its recently acquired Paso Robles facility, Estrella Ranch.

Estrella Ranch in Paso Robles, California

Through its subsidiary, Estrella Ranch Partners LLC, LiveWire acquired a 265-acre historic ranch property in Paso Robles, Calif. Estrella Ranch has a longstanding history, once owned by George R. Hearst, the eldest grandson of the late William Randolph Hearst, developer of Hearst Communications, and is considered among the finest ranches in California and the gem of the California Central Coast. LiveWire is transforming this property into the world’s first “Estate-Grown Weedery” with plans to develop it into a vertically integrated, high-end cannabis facility and wellness retreat in California. The stunning property, located in the heart of the world renown California wine country, currently houses three spacious residences, storage areas, and elaborate equestrian facilities with four barns and numerous stables. LiveWire is designing a truly unique property that features indoor and outdoor cannabis operations, including large outdoor and indoor cannabis production. Long-range plans include adding teaching and luxury recreational facilities focused on providing a comprehensive and unique cannabis-related retreat experience.

The Paso Robles Nursery

LiveWire has begun the build-out and will soon begin production in its 22,000-square-foot secure indoor cannabis nursery facility in Paso Robles, Calif. The project includes the conversion of two existing buildings with sufficient power capacity and abundant water supply. Floor plans include more than 10,000 square feet of canopy devoted to “mother” plants and separate clone storage; additional space has been identified for flowering plants. Within the two buildings, the nursery also contains research and development areas, rooms for cannabis waste and storage, record keeping and staging space, security offices, a conference room and additional designated locations required for permit approval and compliance.

LiveWire has spent significant resources to research and maneuver a complex legal environment and confirm the economic and environmental feasibility of potential LiveWire cannabis operations in different locations throughout the state of California. All LiveWire operations comply with California state law and local ordinances. To fully capitalize on these highly valuable assets, LiveWire is seeking funding to accelerate the development of its business plan.

GHC Ventures Subsidiary

GHC Ventures, LiveWire’s Coachella-based distribution division, employs a consumer-driven market approach that provides retailers access to a wide range of new high-end cannabis products, all serviced through the licensed and reliable GHC supply chain and distribution network.

GHC Ventures’ distribution network is available exclusively to licensed manufacturers that pass LiveWire’s stringent legal and environmental qualification process. This enables LiveWire to provide a large and solidly structured legal distribution network for all qualifying third-party operators in California. LiveWire is actively seeking to work with licensed operators who are enthusiastic and qualified to ensure the delivery of high-caliber and legal cannabis products for the fast-growing California medical and recreational cannabis markets.

Research Partnerships

LiveWire has established two independent research teams with world-renowned experts in their respective fields to pursue application of cannabis derivatives to specific targeted medical ailments. The company is also establishing research partnerships to explore the application of cannabinoid-based products to target specific ailments or conditions with large “sufferer” populations for both human and veterinarian applications. Possible applications may include dosing verification of zero-pesticide products for quality brands via its 7X Pure Cannabis Dosing and Verification System.

LiveWire has also engaged a highly qualified research team and advisory board to explore the opportunities in the unexplored yet highly valued equine space. The company has entered into consulting and/or advisory board agreements with high-caliber individuals from the medical and international-performance equine sector and is currently exploring strategic relationships with the veterinary departments of leading local and domestic universities and medical facilities.

7X Pure™ Dosing and Verification System

LiveWire Ergogenics is developing its “7X Pure Compliance and Dosage Verification System” intended to provide third-party verification of cannabis material origin, potency, purity, dosage and labeling, securing each product with a digital identity and clearly identifiable chain of custody.

The 7X Pure system will be completely secure, transparent and verifiable, protecting the confidentiality of growers’ and manufacturers’ intellectual property while providing retailers, consumers, government officials and others verification that the growers’ and manufacturers’ claims are true.

The system is designed as a parallel service to the seed-to-sale data provided by marijuana tracking software, will help growers and manufacturers meet increasing compliance requirements related to logistics, quality and transparency. It will also provide a high level of assurance to everyone from end users to municipalities.

Acquisitions & Operations

To maximize the utilization of its fully compliant locations and the licenses granted throughout California, LiveWire has begun and continues to pursue acquisitions of and/or strategic alliances with qualified cannabis companies and consultants. LiveWire will apply a strict regimen to the acquisition of operators, carefully utilizing its experience and legal standing in the California cannabis market for the selection of qualified operators.

Market Opportunity

Legal marijuana is the fastest-growing industry in the United States. Twenty-nine states have already legalized medical marijuana, eight states have approved it for recreational use, and more are following suit. Once the trend toward legalization expands to all 50 states, marijuana could become larger than the organic food industry, according to a new report obtained by The Huffington Post.

The U.S. marijuana industry is forecast to generate annual revenues ranging from $17 billion to $35 billion by 2021. The combined legal medical and recreational market has grown by roughly 30 percent, reaching $6 billion during 2017, according to The Marijuana Business Factbook. The same study projects the market will increase 300 percent to top $17 billion by 2021. During 2017 recreational sales grew by 80 percent, reaching $1.8 billion, not yet accounting for sales of the biggest revenue producer, California, which will only commence with recreational sales in 2018.

Business Model

LiveWire’s diligent approach to the cannabis sector is based on extensive environmental and legal research to predetermine the feasibility of the locations it selects for operations. The company pursues a carefully selected approach of acquiring, licensing and managing self-contained and permitted real estate properties for the development and distribution of its products and leasing to third party operators. LiveWire avoids the complications and high start-up cost of the typical large “growing” operations, instead focusing on becoming the market leader in research, cloning and verification, producing and distributing high quality brands.

Management Team

LiveWire’s team of experienced corporate managers and innovators are leading the company’s plans to capture increasing market share from different and often underserved market sectors in the cannabis industry. LiveWire intends to utilize its team’s experience to accelerate the development and/or acquisition of new properties, product offerings, and companies.

His experience includes not only product development, marketing and sales, but most significantly constant city and county advocacy, guiding the company through four license processes, identifying and spearheading real estate acquisitions, and to assemble operations teams comprised of nursery horticulturists, cultivators and distribution personnel. His vision for the industry is complimented with his out-of-the-box thinking and anticipation of positioning for the future.

Kyle McKay, Horticulturist
Kyle McKay is responsible for managing LiveWire’s controlled cultivation environment, developing new-age genetics to produce consistent and high-quality products for medical patients, and applying his expertise in integrated pest management with Omri-certified fungicides and pesticides. McKay oversees the company’s clone development and supervises both cultivation facilities in Coachella and Paso Robles. He also assists with location research and selection; cultivation center planning; operations set-up; and maximizing the growth potential of cannabis edibles, concentrates and oil production. McKay’s expertise in plant genetics and modern horticulture technology makes him extremely qualified to guide LiveWire’s efforts. During his 12-plus years in the cannabis horticulture field, he has grown more than 230 stable genetics, managed over 27 cultivation centers and grown the specific strains required to meet the needs of up to 45,000 medical cannabis patients at one time.

• Singlepoint launched its Pure American Hemp Cigarette line at a National Association of Convenience Stores (NAC) event
• SING CEO Greg Lambrecht was recently featured on Money TV, where he discussed the company’s success at the NAC convention
• The NAC show attracted buyers from the top 500 convenience stores nationally, providing a platform for SING to forge valuable connections

SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) CEO Greg Lambrecht was featured in a recent MoneyTV interview, reporting live from the recent National Association of Convenience Stores (NAC) event in Georgia. He noted that SING was the sole exhibitor of hemp cigarettes at the show and spoke optimistically about the product’s commercial potential. SING exhibited its Pure American Hemp Cigarette line to retail owners representing approximately 2,500 stores, selling multiple cases during the show and ordering additional products to meet demand (http://ibn.fm/1E6NG).

“Our success at NACS was beyond what anybody in our group imagined,” Lambrecht said in reflection on the event. “It truly gave us deep insight into how large of an opportunity this is. With interest from parties representing over 20,000 retail locations, we are excited to move into this convenience store industry accounting for over 150,000 locations. Over the next 90 days we will be following up with these owners to finalize their purchase orders. I am ecstatic to say that again we had people waiting in line to speak about our hemp cigarettes.”

Lambrecht drew a connection between the success of Pure American Hemp Cigarettes and the successful product introduction of Premium Cigars International and PrimeTime(TM) to the convenience store industry years ago. “We expect this new product to dramatically increase revenue in the near future,” Lambrecht concluded.

Lambrecht noted that smoking hemp has “really taken off within the past six months,” providing a boon to SING and its launch of the Pure line (http://ibn.fm/Ce3tC). “We think buyers are [here] specifically looking for hemp cigarettes,” he added. “We’re really excited and happy we’re here. This is one of the biggest shows in the country.” The company’s timely opportunity to be the sole presenter of such a high-demand product in front of the country’s top commercial buyers lends Singlepoint a significant advantage in the commercial hemp cigarette sector.

Lambrecht also detailed SING’s strategy to spread the word about Pure American hemp cigarette line. He explained the company’s efforts to send a sophisticated mailer to each of the 140,000 convenience stores nationwide, utilizing the tagline ‘Make the Switch’, which encourages smokers to convert from nicotine cigarettes to Pure hemp cigarettes.

Not only is SING making strides in the growing hemp industry, but the company is also continuing to create significant inroads into the solar energy space through its impressive performer, Direct Solar. In a prior Money TV segment, Lambrecht discussed SING’s solar success. He told host Donald Baillargeon that “Direct Solar could generate revenues up to $2 million per month in 2020”and perhaps grow even more with financing provided by SING’s new arm, Direct Solar Capital (http://ibn.fm/L4Zol).

SING projected that subsidiary Direct Solar could drive company revenues in FY2020 to $15 million to $25 million. The solar division is already generating $1 million a month in contracts with some $300,000 in profits. By 2020, that monthly sales total could be dramatically higher (http://ibn.fm/ORiep).

Since experiencing such success at NACS, the company has scheduled its next major retail event to be December 11-13 at the MJBIZCON in Las Vegas. The company will be introducing its innovative hemp cigarette, pioneering a new industry product for dispensaries.

• PLUS is making strategic moves, having recently introduced the top two best-selling cannabis products in California across all categories into Nevada
• Plus Products is hyper-focused on building the world’s largest cannabis brand
• With 45 million visitors annually and sales numbers surpassing expectations, Nevada is an ideal next step for PLUS

Plus Products Inc. (CSE: PLUS) (OTCQX: PLPRF), a leading cannabis-branded product company with the top two best-selling cannabis products in California according to BDS Analytics, is moving into the growing Nevada market (http://ibn.fm/DHwq6). The company made the move by releasing its infused-gummies product line, which includes the two best-selling cannabis products in California across all categories, into the Silver State.

Hyper-focused on building a brand, Plus Products is meticulously working to grow the world’s largest cannabis brand. The company identified two key objectives in its strategic plan to accomplish this. First, PLUS dedicated itself to developing a winning brand in the largest legal cannabis market in the country, California.

The company did this through the release of two iconic products: PLUS Uplift, a sour-watermelon, cannabis-infused gummy that has become the best-selling cannabis product in California, and PLUS Unwind, the number two best-selling cannabis product in the California.

These aren’t the only accolades these products have garnered. BDS Analytics reports that PLUS Uplift was the best-selling consumable cannabis product across all tracked markets last year. In addition, PLUS Unwind was the second best-selling CBD-inclusive product in the state.

With the top-selling gummies brand in California and 21 percent of the gummies market share there in Q2 according to BDS Analytics, Plus Products is ready to move on to its next key objective: growing its brand through new markets, new products, and new consumers. The company is acting on this by moving into the Nevada market as well as launching into the national direct-to-consumer CBD space.

With an estimated 45 million visitors flocking to the Nevada every year and numbers surpassing retail sales expectations in its first year of adult-use sales, the entertainment capital of the country was an obvious choice for Plus Product’s next step. Legal, regulated cannabis product sales in Nevada could reach nearly $2 billion by 2025 (http://ibn.fm/W6kGZ), and the use of edible products in the state has continued to increase in popularity, growing from 14.5 percent of recreational sales beginning in Q3 2017 to 18 percent currently.

PLUS cannabis-infused gummies are currently available at three Medmen Las Vegas locations with plans to roll out the products to dispensaries across Nevada within the next few weeks. These products are manufactured through the company’s partnership with TapRoot Holdings Inc., which was announced four month ago. Based in Las Vegas, this vertically integrated cannabis company operates cultivation and manufacturing facilities and proved to be the perfect partner for PLUS by providing the facilities to easily and quickly deploy machinery, ingredients, and people to ensure that PLUS products maintain their consistently high-quality standards both in California and Nevada.

“Operating in Nevada only four months after signing a definitive agreement with TapRoot is a testament to our commitment to execution in building a national footprint,” Jake Heimark, co-founder and CEO of PLUS, stated in a news release. “We have created and commercialized the best-selling gummies brand in California. Now with this expansion, we aim to replicate this successful strategy in Nevada and ensure high-quality cannabis products reach more consumers in the U.S.”

In addition to its cannabis-infused edibles line, PLUS has also announced its line of 100 percent hemp CBD-infused gummies, which are available for purchase at plusproducts.com nationwide.

PLUS intends to expand into further jurisdictions outside of California and Nevada using a similar partnership model to ensure quality and consistency across all markets. Key focus markets for the company include Michigan, Arizona, Massachusetts, New York and Illinois, which combined represent a potential $5.45 billion-dollar market for PLUS. The company is also working on building its brand globally by exploring potential international partnerships.

• The nation’s 24,000 independent pharmacies exemplify the difficulties of small, locally based community businesses competing against larger, more consolidated corporate enterprises
• Trxade Group is a pharmaceutical services company that empowers independent pharmacies to efficiently obtain the best products at the best times to suit their customers’ needs
• Nearly half of the nation’s small pharmacies have become Trxade platform members, granting them a measure of collective bargaining power
• Trxade assesses a transaction fee to competing drug distributors while sparing the pharmacies from fees, and, in June, the company reported record revenues of $1.9 million

The ongoing development of consumer-based technology has increased the number of business consolidations that establish ever-larger corporate entities seeking greater profits from greater geographical areas, while diminishing the small mom-and-pop intimacy of locally focused businesses such as independent pharmacies whose business structure may literally be a family striving to inject a bit of confidence and neighborly friendliness into the retail market.

In the case of independent pharmacies, a number of defenders have arisen in recent months to help the small businesses protect health-sustaining services that can be so vital to patients looking for an extra measure of kindness while dealing with individual and often private difficulties (http://ibn.fm/2Oa8q). Pharmaceutical services company Trxade Group Inc. (OTCQB: TRXD) has developed its own approach to empowering the neighborhood pharmacy, helping medicinal drug distributors find some strength in numbers through its S2P pharmaceuticals trading platform.

The Trxade platform recognizes that suppliers may reprice inventory on a daily basis and that retailers may allow inventory they’ll need to drop to low levels before trying to restock it. The platform allows independent pharmacies to maintain up-to-the-minute pricing information for competitive cost-effectiveness, and better control of their inventory levels with the help of predictive data analytics.

The nation’s 24,000 independent pharmacies have an estimated annual purchasing power of over $92 billion, and more than 10,650 of them have become subscribing members of the Trxade platform. Trxade does not assess membership or transaction fees to pharmacies, but instead generates revenues from drug sellers through individual transaction fees they pay. For the quarter ending June 30 the company reported record revenues of $1.9 million (http://ibn.fm/JkHmP).

Pharmacies can use the platform to compare the drugs offered by various suppliers and select the most favorable deals.

In the meantime, Trxade continues working to add multiple sales channels to its platform, such as goods other than drugs. And the company is helping to get telemedicine counters in its member pharmacies.

“Trxade Group in time is becoming the epicenter of good pharmaceutical practice and fair trade at a time when healthcare law has just begun to focus on cost cutting and efficiency,” President, COO and Director Prashant Patel stated in a message on the company’s website (http://ibn.fm/N3PMR). “We offer the missing piece to the new Affordable Care Act by helping reduce pharmaceutical costs and thus play a major role in tomorrow’s new healthcare era.”

• Cannabis companies are facing financing problems, because the big banks will not take them on as customers
• Dama Financial is focused on making transparent banking services readily available to the cannabis industry
• Dama Financial offers turnkey services to clients looking for safe, sustainable and modern financial/payment options

Although more than 30 states have legalized cannabis use in some form, the majority of businesses in the field are having a hard time gaining access to banking services, leading to the emergence of specialized ancillary services to fill this gap. Dama Financial, a San Francisco-based private company, is one of these service providers, aiming to provide secure online and mobile-friendly banking services to cannabis-related businesses through its bank partners. Dama administers the provision of such solutions as an agent of its partnering financial institutions.

Founded by financial and payment industry veterans, the company is driven by a passion for innovation and solving complex business problems, ensuring value for its stakeholders.

Operating a cash-based business can be challenging due to various risks. These challenges are even more pronounced in the cannabis field due to the limited availability of financial services. Dama believes that reputable cannabis-related businesses deserve the same range of financial services as more traditional companies.

Dama Financial can help cannabis-related businesses create a safe environment for their employees and customers by reducing cash on hand, enabling them to pay their vendors and employees either electronically or by check, receive fund transfers effortlessly and ultimately run the business more efficiently and scalable.

Dama Financial engages in comprehensive due diligence process following the Know-Your-Customer (KYC) guidelines associated with the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). All of the information provided in a funding application is verified, and an onsite visit to the company’s primary address is conducted to confirm the licensed business.

Once the application is processed and approved, the cannabis-related business will receive financing through one of Dama’s bank partners. Dama Financial will manage the delivery of the service on behalf of the bank partner.

In essence, Dama Financial provides turnkey services that are specifically created for the needs of the cannabis industry. Dama’s customers have access to a secure armored cash pickup and deposit service, a secure online account center that’s available 24/7 for the electronic transfer of funds to and from approved partners, real-time transaction alerts by phone or email and access to the services of a dedicated relationship manager.

Cannabis businesses applying for a Dama account need to have a current state-issued cannabis license. Cannabis licenses are not required for ancillary businesses.

Regardless of the fact that cannabis business legalization is advancing, companies in the field are still facing financing issues (http://ibn.fm/ctLlR). Cannabis remains illegal under federal law and banks are often reluctant to work with industry representatives. Current research suggests that only one in 30 banks or credit unions across the U.S. will accept a cannabis company as a customer. Even in such instances, cannabis-related businesses are charged hefty fees for the financial services being provided.

This is the primary reason why the services provided by Dama Financial are so important and could help promising cannabis enterprises succeed by providing them with the financial and banking tools needed to fund their growth and development.

• An August report published by MoneyShow brands Trxade Group as “an undiscovered market leader that should continue to capture more market share in the years to come”
• Trxade Group’s mission is to empower the nation’s 24,000 small-community-focused independent pharmacies through a strength in numbers approach that helps make them more competitive with larger outlets
• The company offers a web-based platform that maintains market intelligence on over 200,000 medications – both generics and brand-named pharmaceuticals – and provides pricing and supply alerts to members to help them secure the best possible prices
• Trxade Group’s efforts presaged a legislative drive to improve healthcare free trade practices across the country amid heightened concerns regarding independent pharmacies
• Trxade Group delivered a 129 percent year-over-year revenue increase in its most recent financial results

Pharmaceutical services company Trxade Group Inc. (OTCQB: TRXD) made a favorable impression on The Bowser Report editor Faris Sleem, who noted recently in a MoneyShow report (http://ibn.fm/898zI) that “TRXD is an undiscovered market leader that should continue to capture more market share in the years to come.”

The company markets a tech-supported suite of services that help small-town, independent pharmacies compete strategically with larger big box-related outlets through a strength-in-numbers approach to obtaining inventory, managing inventory and delivering it to customers.

Trxade Group’s business-to-business, web-based operation revolves around a system of proprietary databases and algorithms that identify pharmaceutical products that are likely to be in short supply. The company’s proprietary, self-manufactured algorithm helps it identify where supply shortages may occur and enable pharmacies to work directly with drug suppliers, playing on market competition to obtain the lowest possible prices for the products.

As a result, the pharmacies may realize a significant benefit in the reduction of their annual purchase costs. Subscribers to the service can view products from manufacturers, wholesalers and buying groups with almost real time market data and a level of cost transparency that was not readily available to them in the past.

Trxade Group has signed up more than 10,650 independent pharmacies on its trading platform, which is nearly 44 percent of the registered independent pharmacies operating nationwide, and Trxade Group’s numbers have continued to grow.

The nation’s independent pharmacies have increasingly found themselves becoming an endangered species as retail has trended toward large-scale volumes, and as the healthcare industry has been burdened by increasing costs coupled with increasing demands for services and decreasing quality of reimbursements from insurers. State and federal legislative bodies from coast to coast have recently taken an interest in measures to ensure fair competition related to the market pressures that play on small, independent pharmacies, striving to provide a measure of regulatory relief (http://ibn.fm/EHinA).

Trxade Group’s model draws on the hometown, community-favoring history of independent pharmacies to establish a national network environment that sustains a friendly relationship between pharmaceutical buyers and sellers through transparency-promoting protocols. The company maintains an extensive portfolio of generics and other pharmaceuticals on its platform, with options for pricing alerts and analytics from over 200,000 medications listed under The National Drug Code.

“Trxade Group in time is becoming the epicenter of good pharmaceutical practice and fair trade at a time when healthcare law has just begun to focus on cost cutting and efficiency,” President, COO and Director Prashant Patel stated in a message posted on the company’s website (http://ibn.fm/gAdKs). “We offer the missing piece to the new Affordable Care Act by helping reduce pharmaceutical costs and thus play a major role in tomorrow’s new healthcare era.”

Chairman and CEO Suren Ajjarapu recently reported a 129 percent year-over-year increase in company revenues for the second quarter as independent pharmacies have worked to be more aggressive in sourcing medication (http://ibn.fm/jtkff).

• CloudCommerce’s CEO discussed innovation and strategy in an exclusive NetworkNewsAudio interview
• CLWD recently filed a Form 1-A with the SEC for a Reg A+ public offering
• The company is planning a public offering of up to $20 million of preferred stock to qualified investors
• The company recently launched SWARM, a proprietary, audience-driven business-intelligence solution

Tech company CloudCommerce Inc. (OTCQB: CLWD) is ready to take on enterprise clients. That’s the message from CEO and President Andrew Van Noy. In a recent NetworkNewsAudio (NNA) interview with Stuart Smith of NetworkNewsWire, Van Noy discussed the company’s achievements to date and its strategy going forward (http://ibn.fm/9VD9a).

CloudCommerce has acquired a number of businesses with the aim of creating a comprehensive, digital, end-to-end marketing solution to offer clients. This M&A period was followed by a period of consolidation, when the technologies and operations of the subsidiaries were integrated. The result has been the company’s flagship solution – an audience-driven, business-intelligence, digital-market offering christened SWARM (http://ibn.fm/oomlw). Now armed with a potent mix of technology and professional services, CloudCommerce is in a strong position to help its clients identify who they’re talking to, what they should say to their customers and how to get those customers to take meaningful action.

As Van Noy explained, CloudCommerce excels in executing end-to-end campaigns that assist clients in promoting their brands and increasing revenues. The company starts by looking at first-party data, which is subjected to a variety of sophisticated analytical tools, with the aim of better understanding the client’s audience and the type of messaging that would be most appropriate. First-party data consists of information gleaned from clients’ own internal systems.

The first-party data is then mapped and compared to data compiled from external sources and curated by CloudCommerce. This process allows audience profiles to be refined, increasing the effectiveness of marketing communications, while also opening the possibility of attracting new customers. After clients better understand who they’re talking to, as well as who they should be talking to, the CloudCommerce creative team creates messages and designs apps that specifically cater to those audience segments, based on some of the attributes the data has uncovered.

Although some of the elements of the campaigns may seem superficial or trivial, such as size of font or color or imagery, each element affects the impact of marketing communications. The final stage is the execution of the crafted campaign on various digital platforms, such as Facebook. To date, CloudCommerce clientele has been mostly SMEs. Emboldened by success in that sector, Van Noy reports that the company has now begun to tackle higher-margin enterprise businesses.

CloudCommerce recently announced that it has filed an offering statement on Form 1-A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer up to $20 million of preferred stock to qualified investors at a price of $25 per share in a Regulation A+ public offering.

• The new high-end product line solidifies Geyser’s position as an early mover in the hemp-based health and wellness market
• STōND features an array of natural skin care and wellness products that are 100-percent natural and formulated with cannabis sativa hemp oil
• The product line consists of body lotions, massage oils, mud masks, headache roll-ons, joint creams, anti-wrinkle serums and others

A newly launched luxury hemp-based product line positions Geyser Brands Inc. (TSX.V: GYSR) as a leader in the cannabis wellness market. STōND is a line of 100-percent natural self-care products formulated with cannabis sativa hemp oil and features a wide range of products such as massage oils, body lotions, body scrubs, lip balms, mud masks, headache roll-ons, pain gels, joint creams, solid face serums and anti-wrinkle serums.

In a press release announcing the new line of products, the company noted that hemp is a source of potent polyunsaturated fats that play a key role in maintaining overall skin health and moisture content (http://ibn.fm/KfD94).

Geyser Brands announced that it plans to extend STōND into the regulated cannabis space with the substitution of CBD for hemp seed oil in the very same product formulations. “The STōND products come in sustainable packaging with the belief that we need to take care of ourselves as well as our environment,” Geyser Brands Chairman Brad Kersch said in a news release. He also added that the company is in the final stages of opening its ecommerce platform for online sales.

Geyser Brands is a consumer wellness brand cultivator and owner. The company develops and markets hemp-infused health and wellness products including topicals, edibles and beverages, as well as pet-health products and foods.

The company’s proprietary NanoFusion technology plays a key role in these developments. The efficacy of many hemp products on the market is restricted due to the fact that the molecules are insoluble in nature. As a result, the active ingredients cannot readily penetrate the skin and enter bodily systems to deliver the desired results. NanoFusion is an advanced delivery system that delivers active ingredients directly to the bloodstream for an optimal effect.

The hemp-derived and CBD health and wellness niches have recently experienced significant growth, and projections suggest that they will continue growing in the years to come. The CBD cosmetics market alone is expected to expand at a rate of 31.3 percent per year in the period from 2019 to 2025 (http://ibn.fm/n9kuS).

Overall sales within the CBD field are skyrocketing. The entire sector is anticipated to expand at a rate of 107 percent per year by 2023 (http://ibn.fm/85fso). CBD product sales in the U.S. alone are expected to increase by 706 percent in 2019 to reach $5 billion. In comparison, the value of CBD products sold over the course of 2018 was $620 million.

Several factors are contributing to this rapid growth. Regulatory changes in the U.S., a higher level of consumer awareness, general retailers stepping up and anticipated legalization in Canada are all playing important roles.

Companies like Geyser Brands are building their product portfolios right now to capitalize on the growth that’s expected in the years to come. Currently, the company operates a 15,000-square-foot, GMP-certified manufacturing space that is in compliance with Health Canada standards.

• The 5G network evolution of wireless telecommunications is promising mobile consumers greater channel capacity and speed, as well as creating new business opportunities for network services provider Spectrum Global Solutions
• Spectrum Global Solutions recently announced $3.3 million in new contracts for existing clients and new clients intent on securing their places in the 5G-enabled era
• The announcement follows a similar announcement, in August, of $3.6 million in new contracts, primarily for 5G capacity upgrades, as well as a key three-year contract with a tier 1 carrier to which it has previously provided outside plant labor, construction and maintenance services

The arrival of 5G networks and their promise of far greater cellular technology connection speeds and capacity than those currently available – perhaps up to 100 times faster than current peak 4G LTE times (http://ibn.fm/eas5y) – heralds the dawning of a new age of mobile network services to a public that’s increasingly dependent on those services and the infrastructure that supports them.

Telecommunications network builder and service provider Spectrum Global Solutions Inc. (OTCQB: SGSI) is in demand as an experienced company supporting the mobile networks end-to-end, from initial construction to the ongoing maintenance of established infrastructure, and it recently announced that it has received an additional $3.3 million in contracts for new clients, as well as existing clients previously served by the company and its subsidiaries.

The work orders primarily involve network upgrades for U.S. carriers preparing to be competitive in the 5G era and come on the heels of similar new contracts that underscore Spectrum Global Solutions’ technical prowess and reputation for delivering quality in its services.

“Our recently signed contract with a tier 1 infrastructure aggregator has already begun to generate purchase orders for professional engineering and design services for a new 5G network in a major metropolitan area,” CEO Roger Ponder stated in a news release announcing the latest work orders (http://ibn.fm/IWnqh). “In addition, we have received new purchase orders for DAS installations at a number of high-profile indoor facilities as well as work orders for tower audits, investigations and improvements with a major utility for their multi-state communications network.”

The tier 1 contract features a confidential three-year agreement with a carrier for which Spectrum has previously provided outside plant labor, construction and maintenance services, but the previous, similar contract generated more than $17.5 million in revenue, Spectrum stated (http://ibn.fm/zAOgT).

The DAS installations involve building a network of antennas for sending and receiving cellular signals on licensed frequencies to provide voice and data connectivity for end users. On August 22, Spectrum announced $3.6 million in new contracts across all its subsidiaries, much like the more recent announcement, as the company was employed to help establish 5G data networking for hospitality facilities in advance of the upcoming Super Bowl (http://ibn.fm/lXbEG).

“We continue to see strong demand for our professional services, as more and more clients realize the need for additional professional and technical staff to support ongoing projects,” Ponder added. “Our enterprise solutions vertical continues to win new projects in support of our client’s network expansions and modifications.”

Spectrum operates across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Caribbean, and opened the way for international interests when it announced the acquisition of German energy infrastructure technology company WaveTech GmbH in July (http://ibn.fm/LYIbf).

Four major carriers have introduced 5G services in limited metropolitan areas of the United States, building initially on “5G NR” (5G New Radio) software that relies on existing 4G LTE networks until the carriers finance their own standalone infrastructure for better operations (http://ibn.fm/Vjacc). The technology’s infrastructure is expected to hinge on millimeter wave antennas that are smaller and have a shorter-range reach than the microwave antennas in current use (http://ibn.fm/wbKbS).

“As we continue to expand our service offering to support the rollout of 5G, which requires a large number of small cell deployments rather than a fewer number of larger towers as was traditionally seen, our opportunity pipeline continues to grow at a rapid rate,” Ponder stated in August.

• Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are expected to grow further amid numerous indications of an impending global economic recession
• Xalles Holdings recently entered a revenue sharing relationship with automated cryptocurrency trading engine ATN Trading
• Customers can link their Binance or Coinbase accounts to the engine to trade several currencies and will pay a fee only when profit is made

Many proponents of cryptocurrency are viewing signs of a possible economic recession as the potential foot in the door for a decentralized financial system, such as bitcoin, to take root. The Chinese yuan is plummeting as the U.S. fuels trade war. The European Central Bank is taking desperate measures to support the EU’s struggling economy. All of these aspects and more have given a large number of institutional financial commentators cause for concern over the state of the global economy, as press reports suggest (http://ibn.fm/HgBwo).

Additionally, finance experts have concerns over the future of fiat money, which is increasingly vulnerable to centralized control. A clear sign of the changing times is that more and more large banks are working on their own cryptocurrency strategies. Another is that the U.S. Federal Reserve is cutting interest rates, and U.S. President Donald Trump has been one of many to encourage negative rates. According to former banker Oswald Gruber, negative interest rates will eventually lead to a further decline in the financial sector, with fiat money losing value day after day.

Decentralized systems such as those of cryptocurrencies could become a valid alternative, offering the benefit of not being directly impacted by governments, banks or brokers. A number of sectors are already calling for the decentralization of power due to issues ranging from banking control in the wake of the 2008 global downturn to social media after Facebook and other data scandals.

Against this backdrop, fintech holding company Xalles Holdings Inc. (OTC: XALL) has partnered with All The Numbers Trading Company, LLC (d/b/a ATN Trading) to enhance distribution of the latter’s powerful, automated crypto trading solution. In September, Xalles announced an agreement between its fully owned subsidiary, Xalles Financial Services Inc., and ATN Trading, through which the companies will share revenue from the distribution of ATN’s crypto trading engine (http://ibn.fm/KQnDV).

Fast and efficient trading is key to the profitability and success of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, which are traded 24/7 and can be highly volatile. ATN Trading’s automated engine makes it possible to trade cryptocurrencies quickly and efficiently, not unlike the ‘trading bots’ used by major financial establishments and expert traders. “After months of testing ATN Trading’s system, we are highly impressed with the results; it exceeded our expectations,” Thomas Nash, CEO of Xalles Holdings and president of Xalles Financial Services, said in a news release. “We selected ATN Trading as our revenue sharing partner because of the integrity of the platform and its unique pricing model. This is an excellent opportunity for us to profitably participate in the cryptocurrency investment market segment.”

Xalles plans to make cryptocurrency trading and other related services more accessible to clients for large and small traders. The company is also looking to integrate tokens into its rewards program designs.

Xalles is a fintech holding company that’s always on the lookout for fintech growth and acquisition opportunities, aiming to become the main payment system provider in strategic partner solutions. Xalles devises customized approaches to help businesses augment their market presence and achieve success in their financial transaction system offerings by providing various levels of investment services and funds.

Admittedly, cryptocurrencies still have a long way to go before they can become as established as fiat currencies. At any rate, changes in the financial status quo are good news, with cryptocurrencies being likely to significantly disrupt the current financial system in the foreseeable future. Xalles, which leverages blockchain and other technologies for payments, e-commerce, payment-auditing solutions and financial reconciliation, is committed to enacting positive change in the sector.
