CBD Brand Investors Should
Know
May 7, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Microcap Speculators --
CBD, the non-psychoactive cannabinoid best known for its perceived
medical benefits, has become an intriguing means of luring in new
consumers who've never tried a cannabis-related product before
because it doesn’t get you ‘high’.
According to a report from the Brightfield Group, worldwide CBD
sales are expected to soar from $591 million in 2018 to as high
as $22 billion by 2022, which works out to a compound annual
growth rate of 147%.
Looking at opportunities in the CBD market for investors to
start researching, Real Brands (USOTC:
RLBD) jumps out. The company gives you all the
benefit of the growing market without some of the risk producers
face. RLBD is a branding company that is growing its
portfolio of CBD brands by the day. The company has strong
management with a solid background in branding and the beverage
industry; and plans to expand their holdings focusing on at least
three CBD Categories: smokables, edibles and topical balms
and lotions. The company recently updated their logo and
brand identity. It is also developing an E-Commerce website
and plans to launch it during the early part of the second quarter
(which if you’re paying attention could be any day now) on their
newly acquired domain name, to support online sales of a variety of
smokable, edible, and topical CBD derived from hemp-based products
for each of their brands. Start your research today.
Today we are highlighting: Real Brands, Inc. (USOTC:
RLBD), GrowGeneration Corp. (GRWG), HEXO Corp (AMEX:
HEXO), MJardin Group, Inc. (USOTC:
MJARF), and Harvest Health & Recreation Inc. (USOTC:
HRVSF).
Real Brands, Inc. (USOTC:
RLBD) (Market Cap: $13.211M; Share Price:
$0.0877) is first and foremost a marketing
and branding company, which has been slowly building its portfolio
of trademarked brand names that could each represent on their own
major partnerships and joint ventures going forward.
Jerry Pearring, the CEO of Real Brands commented, “As the demand
for CBD infused products continues to grow, we intend to create
marketing strategies in at least three CBD Categories: smokables,
edibles and topical balms and lotions.”
Products like CBD gums are something which golfers, Tiger Woods and
Phil Mickelson, are rumored to be chewing. The
non-psychoactive health benefits of CBD are appealing for
golfers.
That’s why RLBD announcing that PGA professional, Scott Piercy,
is coming aboard as Brand Ambassador is big news. In March
‘19, he made a further commitment by making a long-term investment
into Real Brands.
RLBD is launching a CBD beverage. The company is very
close to its next production run, meaning there could be major news
on the way. The audit on the horizon means this could also be
another major event for investors to pay attention to. Start
