The nation’s largest CBD and hemp event is back in town. Slated for February 13-15, 2020, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, USA CBD Expo promises something for everyone, from industry experts to wide-eyed newcomers. The top-notch trade show will feature some 500 branded products from more than 300 vendors, including some of the best-known names in the market such as presenting sponsor Pure Kana and Anthony Sullivan from MONTKUSH.
Both those in the know and those who are simply curious are invited to sample the wide range of crafted products as they learn about the benefits of CBD from experts and hear about the latest trends and developments in the industry. In addition, USA CBD Expo will offer a unique platform for companies in the fast-growing wellness market to showcase their brands, as well as a networking nexus for the growing CBD community and a forum that promotes and provokes debate and discussion on the health benefits of CBD.
USA CBD Expo expects 14,000 retailers, buyers, investors, general consumers, and wellness professionals to attend the show. Apart from the opportunity to view exhibits and evaluate the products on display, attendees will be addressed by a battery of influential industry figures, including Devin Penhall, Antonio Frazier and Dr. Jenelle Kim.

Attendees will want to attend the ForceBrands recruitment; the company will be there to assist anyone looking to hire or be hired within the cannabis market.

Nightfood Holdings Inc. (NGTF) 2020 Strategy Includes Launching Major In-Store Promotion, Expanding Distribution in Hotel-Lobby Stores

  • NGTF vision to “own” $50-billion nighttime snacking category
  • Company planning major in-store promotion in more than 500 supermarkets across country
  • Nightfood also focused on expanding on hotel front, where Nightfood sleep-friendly ice cream offers unique possibilities
Nightfood Holdings Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF) founder and CEO Sean Folkson recently outlined a deliberate strategy for the award-winning ice cream company’s plan to address America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking habit. The plan includes NGTF’s first major in-store promotion as well as increased attention on the company’s efforts to be carried in hotel-lobby-store freezers.
Barely a year old – the company manufactured its first pint of nighttime-snack ice cream in January 2019 – Nightfood is focused on owning the nighttime snacking category and will be launching its first major in-store promotion in more than 500 supermarkets this quarter, including several new major chains (http://nnw.fm/hRp84).
In Q4 2019, Nightfood expanded distribution into hundreds of additional major supermarket outlets, opening the door for certain marketing tactics and partnerships that had not previously been available. “We’ve now more than tripled our supermarket distribution count compared to Q1 of last year,” Folkson stated in a news release. “We will have about seven times the supermarket distribution by the end of this quarter as the same time last year, and approximately ten times the number of facings, plus distribution in divisions of the two largest supermarket chains in the country.
“Our newfound ability to run these proven, large-scale campaigns influenced the decisions made by some of the new chains that will be adding Nightfood this quarter,” Folkson continued. “We’ve got a great product serving a massive consumer need. The key now is driving awareness, trial and repurchase. Going forward, our ability to run large promotions very early in the distribution cycle will make a big difference.”
In addition to having its products on supermarket shelves, Nightfood is increasing efforts to have its exclusive line of sleep-friendly ice cream carried in hotel-lobby stores. NGTF products are already selling well in selected Fairfield Inn & Suites (Marriott), Hilton Garden Inn (Hilton), Staybridge Suites (InterContinental Hotels Group) and Residence Inn (Marriott) (http://nnw.fm/ilS5U).
“In addition to our upcoming supermarket updates, we’re expecting great developments on the hotel front,” Folkson said. “Hotels represent a very exciting vertical for us, and one that Nightfood is uniquely positioned for. It’s amazing how much ice cream is sold in that environment. Just ask at the front desk when you travel, especially in the mid-range and business properties. The emergence of more complete lobby stores is a growing source of incremental revenue and customer satisfaction, and my goal is to get Nightfood in every single one of those freezers.”
Nightfood has partnered with Lionel Binnie, a business strategist and expert in the food and beverage space, who is working with Nightfood to develop the hotel vertical and is engaged in ongoing discussions with some of the largest hotel brands in the country, as well as many large hotel management companies. “Each and every hotel selling ice cream should be making Nightfood sleep-friendly ice cream available for their guests,” added Binnie.
In other Nightfood news, the company filed an 8K reporting that Folkson, the company’s single largest shareholder, has extended his existing lock-up agreement for an additional 12 months (http://nnw.fm/hRp84). “We received questions from a couple of shareholders about the lock-up, so I wanted to address those publicly,” said Folkson. “This company is my past, my present and my future, and I’m not looking to sell or otherwise decrease my share position in any way. With our introduction into hotels, and various consumer marketing initiatives that will come to light very soon, I’m expecting a breakout in consumer awareness and product demand.”
By helping consumers solve their night snacking in a better, healthier and more sleep-friendly way, Nightfood is establishing the leading position in the nighttime-snacking category where American consumers are generally dissatisfied yet are still spending more than $50 billion annually (http://nnw.fm/c1nWi). Nightfood is the creator of delicious, award-winning and better-for-you ice cream formulated by sleep and nutrition experts. The company also owns subsidiary MJ Munchies Inc., which seeks to capitalize on legally compliant opportunities in the CBD and marijuana edibles and related spaces.

SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX), Experian Collaborate to Offer Financial Services to BIGtoken Users

  • SRAX’s BIGtoken platform permits consumers to own, monetize their data
  • The Company has teamed up with Experian(R) to provide financial services to BIGtoken users
  • SRAX’s technology unlocks data to reveal brands’ core consumers across marketing channels
SRAX Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX) is a digital marketing and consumer data management technology company based in Los Angeles, California. Through its BIGtoken platform, the Company has developed a consumer-managed data marketplace that allows people to own and get paid for the release of their digital data. Fundamentally, SRAX is at the front line of developing a consumer-managed data marketplace that gives consumers control over their information. The Company offers everyone in the Internet ecosystem choice and transparency, as well as compensation.
A vital issue today is privacy and data ownership. Increasingly, state and federal privacy laws are influencing the way that marketers can reach consumers. These laws are placing the value and control of data back in the hands of consumers, a significant move that has fueled increased consumer scrutiny of and backlash against social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn and others over the use of users’ data. Through BIGtoken, SRAX provides consumers the privacy and protection they seek by selling access to valuable consumer data in the form of anonymized segments—access that is gained or denied per the consumer’s permission.
Recently, SRAX and Experian announced a partnership meant to provide people with the opportunity to redeem points they’ve earned in the BIGtoken platform for access to Experian IdentityWorks (http://nnw.fm/126hA). Experian is the world’s foremost global-information services company. Experian IdentityWorks is a complete offering that includes features such as Experian Boost(TM), credit monitoring, FICO(R) scores and credit-card matching. Through this exclusive partnership, BIGtoken users will be able to use points to obtain access to one free year of Experian’s product.
“Experian is a leader in providing consumers with transparency around their financial data,” SRAX founder and CEO Christopher Miglino stated in a news release. “Working with Experian validates the data segment that we have built and expands options for point redemption. Further, this creates additional revenue-sharing opportunities for various financial services companies and more avenues to monetize our subscriber base in 2020.”
The SRAX/Experian partnership is rooted in the above-mentioned transparency around consumers’ financial data and the desire consumers have to receive compensation from marketers. This desire is evidenced by the fact that more than 16 million people around the world have joined the BIGtoken platform. This platform enables consumers to control what pieces of their own data are for sale and which companies can buy that data. Furthermore, as evidenced by the Experian collaboration, BIGtoken’s unique approach lines up well with Experian’s dedication to galvanizing consumers to manage their finances better.
SRAX’s tools deliver a digital competitive advantage for brands in the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods), investor relations, luxury and lifestyle verticals. This advantage is realized through integrating all facets of the advertising experience, including verified consumer participation, into one platform. Consumers who participate are placed into advertising groups (http://nnw.fm/HZo8E). Advertisers then purchase access to these groups, and consumers earn a portion of the revenue from the data sale. The benefit of this model is consumers’ complete control over what data they share and which companies can access the selected data.
SRAX works to provide tools to marketers, content owners and consumers that unlock the value of data. For investors, the Company is growing numerous recurring revenue streams through its different platforms. SRAX’s continued emphasis is on building the most valuable, consumer opted-in data set in the world.
