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 your research today.
