CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 21, 2019 / The marijuana stock market has recently responded to the fact that the cannabis companies are seeing an exponential increase in acquisitions and mergers throughout the industry. Many companies in the cannabis sector have elected to utilize their resources to acquire smaller, more nuanced companies in an effort to produce a more vertically-integrated business model overall. Through a successful acquisition or merger, a cannabis company will have a better shot at ensuring that they are creating high-quality products, as well as help bolster their profit margins in both and short and long-terms. Even though 2019 is only a few months old, analysts are saying that this could be the year for the cannabis industry, and companies in the space are taking the necessary steps to build out their businesses ahead of the potential excitement. Leafbuyer Technologies Inc (LBUY), CV Sciences Inc (CVSI), Trulieve Cannabis Corp (OTC PINK: TCNNF) (TRUL.CN), and GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ:GWPH) represent 4 marijuana stocks leading the industry on Thursday.
Leafbuyer Technologies Inc (LBUY) is the most comprehensive online resource for information related to cannabis, as well as how to procure products currently available on the market. Nowadays, consumers depend on online resources to research the products they are interested in buying and, prior to Leafbuyer's platform, there hadn't been a reliable source for information on cannabis and related products. In recognition of this growing trend to do one's homework, Leafbuyer has become the authority on cannabis-related information.
Leafbuyer Technologies Inc (LBUY) today announced the total number of Greenlight platform users has reached nearly 80,000. The statement follows a March 13, 2019, release announcing Leafbuyer's rollout of the Greenlight technology in Colorado and Oklahoma. For those unfamiliar with Greenlight, the platform allows users to order ahead and earn loyalty points at participating dispensaries. The technology allows for significant increases in customer retention and overall customer satisfaction.
Following the announcement, Kurt Rossner, Chief Executive Officer of Leafbuyer Technologies Inc (OTC:LBUY), said, "the rapid geographic implementation of the Greenlight technology and a large number of users is encouraging. Developments are underway to bring new features to the platform that are expected to be a catalyst for continued revenue growth.
