We should just start contacting some of these small public app developers and tell them to send Roger a pitch for what they can do with the snakes app. Pump the heck out of them on how amazing of a deal it would be for their company. Explain all the exciting aspects.
Because as investors we can convince these guys that we can blow their freaking stock up with all the interest/following that FUNN has. They would instantly get LOTS of new interest and most, if not all of them are not seeing much... This could be the single most motivating factor for someone to throw an amazing deal at FUNN. They would do ANYTHING to get the deal! Most all these app developers are hurting to get their stock noticed, we just need to find one that isn’t a complete POS. lol
Its win/win. In this scenario FUNN/Snakes Is a Kingmaker!
There are a handful of penny stocks that would love to get a contract to do snakes app. They would probably focus 100% of their attention on it, especially if they offered them commission on the retail game sales + some stock... We should make a list of them and see which ones have the best designers + capability. I bet snakes could get a nice deal. The other company would get a lot of investor interest as well. lol
Like I mentioned before, the hardest aspect about creating an app is getting people to notice it. There are way too many apps out there now, which is another indication of how many developers that have skill, but are hurting for a HIT project.
Snakes would have absolutely no issues getting an app noticed, which is the most powerful aspect out of anything. IMO they would instantly start adding thousands of users in the first week. Roger will be able to issue several PR‘s on the single initiative and how it’s exploding with interest that reaches far beyond any of the areas that they have a location.
I don’t think there’s anything like this in the sector, because not just anybody can develop an app without having a CORE reasoning for it
If snakes wants to achieve “world domination” they have to have a sexy app!... it will also provide powerful statistical data on where people are accessing the app around the world. They can use this data to focus their expansion efforts.
Blows my mind that there isn’t an app already created. I bet it would be cheaper than the cost of their website, because all that money has already been invested in the database and media content. An app is nothing more than an interface to access it, along with a plethora of other unique benefits
Unicorns and dragons NEVER get old.
If i were them i would also consider creating custom tables for future locations, with cup holders and other features. Maybe even a place to advertise company products/services and a small extension that can be slid out from the sides of the table, so they have an extra place to put some food.
This would give Snakes a feel unlike any other game cafe. The tables are a VERY important aspect to these places and gaming tables are popular for home use
Little things make all the difference... mom and pop game cafes are probably not going to take their layout design this far.
I am not an app designer, but there are MANY people that are now.
Apps are no different than websites these days. Actually, they are more powerful, because of real time alerts.
A kid can create an app. It is not some major undertaking, esp when you have the product database and media content ALREADY CREATED... Small businesses have apps now, why not a public corporation with multiple locations, online retail, etc? It is illogical NOT to have to one at THIS stage.
All i can do i send Roger my ideas, then cross my fingers that they will get it done ASAP. Every day that passes is a missed opportunity to add many downloads... ive been waiting for a year+, which is why i am leaning on them harder now. Ive been more than patient.
(reposts) App opinions/DD: A master plan to DOMINATE the sector... Read all of this and tell me im wrong...
Id like to see a Snakes App... A way to connect single gamers would be cool, with a rating system based on if people show up when they say (reliability).
If someone flakes too much, without letting the other players know in advance, they lose their ability to use the connection service. Serious gamers would love it
It could also be a dating service.... Not only can they hook singles up, they give them something to do on their first date that is fun/less awkward.
______________
The App can offer promotions to get people back in the locations, retail game sales, game tutorial videos (if Gurus are busy, see the App!), free game giveaways (new and used copies), contests... There is so much this specific business can do with an App.
Encourage each customer that comes to Snakes to downoad it then and there. Let them know they can use it to get an instant cover charge discount, etc
With thousands of people coming to Snakes each DAY, the amount of people you can send alerts increases FAST.
Then they can start charging publishers for marketing, promos, etc... Game creators will want to give Snakes distribution exclusivity just to get the marketing perks.
____________
I bet you if they handed out games daily, they will have more people using the app than the amount of people that actually go to Snakes.
I bet they would have thousands of people in each and every state that download the app, which builds the brand before a Snakes location even opens in their town... focusing their marketing efforts on free game giveaways will make them the talk of the entire table gaming sector. Gamers will know about snakes even if they never been to a location. They will see their friends mention it on social media, often.
If I were them i would start developing an app ASAP, before someone else does. At least get the basic structure created. It’s a no brainer.
_______________
Snakes has thousands of SKUs on their retail website, which can generate a lot of $$$ via an app with promotional alerts. This aspect alone makes an app viable right now. The sales can pay for it.
If they were not a distributor/retailer, i would agree, but there is massive growth potential with board games being so hot.
Snakes can beat Amazon prices on many titles that they are the EXCLUSIVE distributor for. This is a significant aspect and should be leveraged into a loyal retail customer base of active gamers.... Snakes still makes money when Amazon sells these titles, but they wont have to pay Amazon per unit.
Also, they can get all the Kickstarter backers to download it, so they can track their order status, etc. I bet the App would be on hundreds of thousands of phones after one year... It wont even cost them much to market it. They can use their gurus, bartenders, servers, website, kickstarter backers, social media and even mention it on future prints of self published titles. None of these cost much money.
I bet millions can be made from an effective use an App. Who does not have a smart phone in their pocket nowadays? Offer all kinds of promotions and free game giveaways throughout the week, BUT ONLY IF THEY LEAVE THEIR PHONE ALERTS ON. You have to act fast to get it!... This could drive serious growth.
Just start the App simple. Use it as an interface for the already created ecommerce database, then start adding new tabs/features each month. They already have this stuff: https://www.snakesandlattes.com/
______________
Many companies this size spend $XXX,XXX per year to market
Instead of paying mass amounts of money for marketing that is only slightly effective, they can give away $100,000 per year in games that they get at master distributor prices, which is lower than the mass retailers can buy games for... The consumer sees it as getting a $30 game, but snakes is paying less than half that on some titles. They could give out over 5000 games in a year and it won’t even cost them much. That’s almost 15 games per day!... Everyone would have this freakin app on their phone, with alerts turned on! lol
Tell people if they mention the app on social media, they get entered into an even bigger and better drawing. This would influence thousands of people to start spamming the app to millions of others.
Can you see how massive this could get for a company in this strategic position?

All AMFE has to do is contact a few of these small companies and tell them to put a proposal together. They can even offer them commission on App retail sales to really push their enthusiasm and keep initial costs low. Do it as a "joint venture" so they can pump their stock a bit AND bring their investors eyes our way as well. Everybody wins!
I bet a micro cap developer would jump at the chance to be associated with Snakes... None of the tickers come to mind at the moment, but i have seen some in the past that created some very detailed and attractive apps.
PS: They might just take a million shares to do it. Worth it?

The easiest Apps to monetize are the ones that already have a large customer base. All you are doing is giving people a new way to interact with your business.
Everyday your following will grow, just by placing a little advertisement on each table telling people to download the app to receive an instant use coupon
______________
Apps have become like websites. Many people have learned how to build them as a hobby. This is driving down development costs.... having an App is no different than a website, it’s just a different interface accessing the same information
On top of there being so many app developers hurting for work, willing to take less to get involved in a big long term project, you also have thousands of great App examples out there now to copy. The basic format for a solid e-commerce/informational app has already been created many times. All they need to do is copy the basic structure. This makes it easy, along with having all the e-commerce stuff already available.
The hardest part to building an app isn’t actually the app, it’s the content... and snakes has tons of content that’s not being utilized to its full potential... I was just on the Guitar Center App and picturing how their formats can be used for Snakes & Lattes. I but there are many companies that have app templates, you just need to add the content. It can likely be created in under 3 months
Also, there are many small dating apps. Hundreds of them... In the future they could possibly do a joint venture with the small dating app company to get the whole matchmaking aspect rolling. For both gamer matchmaking + dating... I would work on this aspect last though. Just getting the e-commerce going, all the instruction videos on the app and promotions would be a great start. That’s really all you need for a great app, everything else is bonus... The promotional aspect is key, because you can use it to keep people coming back to the app. This will help ensure that the project costs are being covered with growth.
Maybe they can do a joint marketing deal with another website for some gaming news, etc. They know many of them.
_______________
Yep, the Dominos Pizza app was the biggest thing they did in decades.
If a company has a use for an app, they are crazy not to have one. It’s like not having a website.
Apps are easier to grab customers attention than websites, specially if you can create a promotional structure that influences them to leave their real time Alerts on. You can remind them about Snakes & Lattes throughout the week.
For example, right before people get off work you can remind them that happy hour will be starting and what type of promotional food items you will be serving. You can also mention that happy hour attendees will be Instantly entered into a drawing just by being there.
I also like the marketing aspect. Many of the small game developers create promo videos to pitch their new games. Snakes can charge the developer for the marketing, then place the video on their app and tell their customers that if they watch the video they will be entered into a drawing for a free copy... Then hand out MANY copies, so people tell all their friends that they won the game through the Snakes app. This will get even more people downloading the app.
I bet you anything if snakes gave away $100,000 worth of games (at wholesale prices) over the course of a year, their App would go viral and it will be a massive success for this company. Gamers will go freaking nutso over Games being given out daily. They will BRAG about winning on the message boards and social media
Like i said, they can give out about 15 games per day and it will cost about $100,000 per year... This is a powerful form of marketing for a company of this type. Better than any magazine, etc... this is how modern/hip companies keep their customers engaged
____________
I believe they can easily increase each locations revs in the future...
As they gain more locations, they are going to become the MOST powerful marketing force in the rapidly growing board game sector imo.
There are other game cafes but they are all mom and pop, they dont have the same marketing appeal... With Snakes a marketing plan can be created at the corporate level and each location can be directed to put up posters, add themed items to the food/drink menu, marketing displays near the entrance, Gurus told to push a specific title, etc.
Snakes locations can recommend, teach and market a title to thousands of customers EACH DAY in the future... and its the BEST kind of marketing. People that enjoy themselves playing a new game, which they were EASILY just taught, are more likely to buy it on the way out the door... esp if Snakes allows all or part of a customers cover charge to be applied to the retail cost.
With Tempe they might already be averaging 1000+ customers each day... and marketing to 1000 customers PER DAY in Snakes is likely more effective than selling a magazine to 1,000,000 subscribers, even if the advertisement is on the cover. A magazine cant sell a unit then and there.
That right there is more of an investors focused video, but its not directed in that way.
These are the things Roger, an IR, etc should be Tweeting/emailing/texting to shareholders, to keep them ENGAGED/EXCITED.
I bet 90%+ of Snakes shareholders dont even notice/see these things. It will get buried on this board by later today and not many read every message here anymore.
Even if it was in the "new videos" section of an app, i bet MOST shareholders would have it on the phone and check it often, increasing the odds that they see it
The Ford trucks they will make in 2042 won’t be as good as the ones made in 2036. The autonomous function will surely steer a few people off a cliff. Sell your Ford stock!
It’s always savvy to beat the masses and predict how a product will do long before theres even plan for its creation.
I know this is intelligent because I tell myself it is.
How FUNN
Would a logical/intelligent person claim an app is bad before it’s even created? lol
I appreciate when terrible DD is so obvious
Don’t facts, substance, logic, etc matter?
Anybody can make random stupid claims.
There is no corporate snake app.
As I already mentioned, Tempe created an app but that cannot meet the same potential as a corporate one, because it has a mom and pop feel. It doesn’t penetrate the world, it penetrates a single city.
The entire company needs it app, with all of the videos, all of their retail games, everything.
The database for their online retail store, media, etc has already been created, an app is just a different Interface to access it all. There’s really not much to do, the bulk of the work has already been accomplished for the website... Small businesses have apps now, it makes no sense for this corporation not to have one, especially when one considers the demographics they target.
[img][/img]Some of the worst DD I’ve read. Someone is really going to judge a game before it’s even sold in its first retailer? lol... what about all the positive reviews from the game testers and KS backers? Let’s just ignore those pesky positives.
Do you expect people to know about this game before they’ve even sold one copy or done any marketing? Does that really make sense?.... but millions of people will see it when it hits the shelves at Walmart. This is undeniable.
Such illogical BS.
PS: Why do you think this stock gets so much interest??? There are 10,000 penny stocks, why are investors so glued to this one???
Most customers are likely not going to search the Internet for How To videos. Some will, but most are going to rely on the gurus.
The nice thing about an app is that it can be advertised right on each table. I would have high quality laminated stickers created
Personally, I always read the little things on the table while I’m waiting for my food. It’s a popular/effective way to advertise... esp if you offer a perk like a free cover charge for downloading it, or free drink, etc. It would make it illogical for customers not to DL it. It only takes a minute and they have plenty of time while they’re waiting for their server, etc.
I love marketing plans where multiple aspects feed off each other, it make it much more economical and effective. Snakes is in the perfect position to make an app an easy and highly profitable success, because the #1 Issue with creating an app is getting people to find it.
MOST of the apps out there have no way to get noticed other than people searching for it on the App Store... while Snakes has thousands of customers per week, a social media presence, a retail website, proactive employees, expanding locations, self titled game sales, they do the big trade shows, Youtube videos, etc. Snakes has no limit when it comes to ways to draw peoples eyes to an app. The hardest/most expensive aspect has already been overcome.
... but the most powerful way they could gain downloads might be from gamers recommending it on the message boards. Is there another app out there that serves this red hot sector??? The app can be an entire business itself
The product is out of stock at Wally because they’re waiting for their first delivery. If that ad is still up there, its still an active order, which means a massive press release is coming, announcing the availability within the largest retailer in the world.
It’s hard to deny the potential of the largest retailer in the world selling a game like this during the holiday season, with a theme (Unicorns) that is red hot... Just the packaging and name of the product alone will get many people picking it up within these Walmart locations, while the isles are packed with holiday shoppers.
It’s in the perfect price range for a gift and people like to buy friends/family gifts like this. It’s not generic/boring
... Oh, did I mention how Red Hot this sector is + how popular unicorns are? They will likely sell thousands of copies to people that just collect it and never even open the packaging.
With large quantity they can absolutely ship directly from the manufacture to the retailer. “Drop Ship” is common, esp for Wally. Saves lots of time and $$$
I had no idea they hired Edward Norton‘s son! How cool
That video right there is a perfect example of how powerful an app can be, because I highly doubt someone is going to go to YouTube and find that... but if they were advertised on the tables that many of the game instructions can be found on the app?
With so many ways they can get people to download the app, then actually use it, it makes more sense for snakes to have an app than most restaurants... cause most restaurants can’t do much more than provide ordering, menu, basic information, etc. While snakes app is everything from retail, education, gaming, possibly matchmaking, sector information, prizes/contests, etc. There’s so much
What would this stock be doing if thousands of people were consistently downloading an app right now? Even the most negative people would see how powerful an app can be and It would be hard to sit on the sidelines at these levels, stop sign or not.
It makes no sense for them not to have an app when one thinks of the crowd they serve... This is the perfect initiative to get the stock back on track. Forget acquisitions or even new locations, this is the lowest hanging fruit that might have the most powerful impact that ties every aspect of the company together in an organized an effective way.
Apps are not expensive. They can be, but snakes doesn’t have to create every aspect of the app right away. They can create the core function, then start adding sections over time. Apps are easy to update!
They can even have a backdoor function that allows employees to login and look at their schedule, employee event info, company calendar, request vacation days, etc. There are many ways an app can be used as a tool to strengthen and organize internal functions. I bet employees would love it.
Two of the products are already on Walmart site. How much more proof does one need: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kill-the-Unicorns-An-Enchanted-Card-Game-For-Evil-Geniuses-Exclusively-Sold-on-Walmart-com/548174258
What about the largest retailer in the world? These locations are great for marketing to thousands of people who are target customers, but they also have a deal with Walmart and no doubt several more mass retail accounts are coming. They have relationships with all the big names, which most start up publishers do not have. This is a massive advantage
They also cut out the middleman, allowing them to offer promotions which helps moves copies. This is advantage that other publishers don’t have as well
In other words, the questions I asked can’t be answered? Not even one of them?
Another thing to consider is that the MANY YouTube videos that Snakes has created don’t really tie together with their customer base... Just because someone goes to a Snakes location, even if they go all the time, they likely wont even know the YouTube videos exist...
... but when you create an app with all of these videos arranged in categories, it makes it easy for customers to find, justifying the cost to create these videos.
if they played their cards correctly they could become a top source for gaming video news. Every week they could release a new video updating people on new titles, kickstarter campaign’s, Snakes specials, etc, while throwing in some soft marketing for other companies.
Many aspects within the app can feed off each other: Videos can be used to sell games through the app... Customers can use the app to learn about a game when the Gurus are busy.... Food and drink promotions can be used to draw customers into locations during slower periods.... Game giveaways, both new and used titles, can be used to get people spreading the brand around social media, building a larger base of users for the app + customers for the locations, plus game retail sales etc. The list goes on... there’s so much potential when you can alert people in their pocket
This is powerful stuff and not many companies within the sector are capable of doing it, but eventually there will be. I hope we are the first and most dominant. It’s just sitting there, waiting to be snatched.
They could even have ordering through the app, using location services. Other restaurants are doing this now and it reduces the strain on your servers... I could go on and on...
Im not even gonna get into it, because i know those bogus claims don't even come close to the DD ive done. I post facts and logical/fair minded speculations, backed with substance or solid reasonings.
I dont just make random claims... This stock is a lifechanger if certain aspects are improved. This is why it has so much interest, constantly
I would have put a small mark/sticker on each KTU unit telling people to download the app for a chance to win a Pigicorn... while also marketing Snakes = win/win
These are some simple/effective ways to take this to the next level and get this stock back on track. An App would be faster, cheaper and more impacting than a new location, without a freakin doubt. An app has no limits... and look at all the great media content they already have! Its all ready to go, an app is just a new interface to display it!
An app would have (and still can be) the perfect counter to the stop sign. Think about it.
If downloads were climbing by thousands per week because gamers start spreading "FREE GAMES" around social media, it would be blowing up in this red hot sector and distracting everyone from the uplisting mess.
A hot app can make a company worth BILLIONS alone! Everyone has a smart phone and Snakes ability to send WORTHWHILE alerts to people ("enter quick for a chance to win this title!") makes is sooooo freakin worthwhile.
This MARKETING/MERCHANDISING POWER is going untapped... and it should be the #1 thing they are working on imo. It is waaaay past due. How long does it take to contact a few small app development companies and get proposals?
An app for this company would be such a fun and rewarding project!... but everyday that passes without one is a day where hundreds, if not thousands of people could have been told by their server to "download it right now for a free day of gaming"
Time is wasting.
(reposts) App opinions/DD: A master plan to DOMINATE the sector... Read all of this and tell me im wrong...

No other publisher has this potential. They can literally push people to learn the game, then sell it to them on the spot...
Crap titles can sell many millions just because people notice it, not because it’s great and the best titles can do nothing because no one ever knows it exists. Everything is about getting noticed, no matter if it’s a stock, a product, a person trying to become famous, etc.
If this company finally gets an app, they’ll be able to penetrate every corner of the continent because they are retailer... they actually have a name greater than the areas that they have locations, because everybody in the sector knows them.
If I were the CEO I would’ve had an app a long time ago. And I’d be announcing a drawing right now for free games and pigicorns, If people download the app and enter... It is a prime time of year because the holiday season is the busiest for Snakes
I would be using the pigicorns in the locations to attract peoples interest to the promo, which are on the app... i’d be pitching it on social media, through employees, etc. hype hype hype
An app is so powerful for a company like this and can be used to sell all of the games that they retail online, which they already have a database for. It’s the missing ingredient to tie everything together.
Apps are cheap now and who the heck doesn’t have one?! Especially a company with this many retail products/locations? It’s simple to do, it’s only a new interface. There are many templates now and they just need to connect their retail database to it. Basic stuff these days
I know Tempe created an app for their individual location but they don’t have the capability/potential as the complete corporate app has. Their abilities are limited to one location with no retail = mom and pop feel
An app could also be used to generate excitement with investors... because with all these locations and thousands of customers coming per week, the app downloads would be screaming to the moon right now and it would be driving tons of interest for the stock. Even the most negative people would not be able to ignore it... For like $100,000 they could potentially add $10s of millions in market value.
It would be so nice to have a strategy other than a PR every other month and an occasional tweet. An app is more powerful than a new location right now and a fraction of the cost. I wish we had savvy leadership
If there is no company whos cash is being used to buy millions of shares back (per 8Ks), on behalf of the shareholders? Is Glenn using his own money?
Why have these large corporations not sent them a Cease and Desist for using their name everywhere?
Do you think the court documents are phony and they didn't really win millions?
Is it logical that Glenn is lying to the SEC about the entire company? Why would he work so hard to increase transparency and remove the stop sign?
Why is there never any substance included with those claims? No matter how many times i ask?
My comments were in regard to the product, not the stock... but building up some hype for the product could create some excitement for the stock as well. Seems to make sense to me...

Too bad there is literally no buzz being created by the company. They could doing some creative videos/pictures with the pigicorn RIGHT NOW, building up buzz for the holidays. They have had months to plan.
... and it does not matter if they have them for sale or not right now. You create the buzz ASAP and use it as leverage to get mass retailer orders, which can make large manufacturing runs economical.
Snakes has a solid video crew ready to go... Theres soooo much potential to get the ball rolling here, but so little effort.

They could be building up the hype right now, while negotiating with Amazon for a big Prime Day promo.
They could make a crazy amount in a single day if strategically planned. Imagine Pigicorn on the home page of Amazon, even if its just for 5 minutes
MOST small companies fail, public or private. That is not a good way to judge someone.
I dont see how CMGO is damaging anyone by improving all the numbers and reducing the OS. Each company has its own merits. Those other tickers dont matter.
Many of the most successful people had SIGNIFICANT failures... even Trump (mulitple BKs) and he become president of the most powerful country. He has lost people BILLIONS, much more than any of these guys, combined.
BTW, that guy is not running CMGO
Why does he need to be a registered broker or investment adviser for the work he has been doing?
People change careers.... esp when it comes to brokers. Its not for everyone
At some point they might have no choice but to raise some $$$... and with the price/cap so low and such a terrible trend, they would probably have to sell shares at .01 or lower... or ink their first toxic debt deal, which will destroy the company fast.
This is why it is soooo important to get the price up ASAP, so it can base at higher levels and reduce any future dilution. This is so unacceptable!... Even if we ran to .10 today, no one will fund it there. People need to see a stock BASE, which takes months.
Even moving back to .04 reduces the dilution a LOT, but allowing SUB 1 MILLION cap is dumb as it gets! This is less than 1X revs and they have barely any debt. ANY other penny CEO could push this EASY withn this valuation + DD
Such an irresponsible dumb ass. Pisses me off beyond belief.
Got that reply before the last poorly disseminated PR... and i let him know!
They are just telling us what we want to here. We need to find a way to lay some embarrassment on him, like start communicating with the people he works with. Explain to them how bad he is doing things and how his ignorance is risking their livelihood. I bet they have shares... people that dont understand the markets dont know how bad this really is.
He is hurting a lot of people and it cant be allowed to continue. This is SIMPLE STUFF = ZERO excuse for it. NONE!
I wonder if we can contact the large PP funders from .35+ and get them to vote a new CEO in with us. John can remain, but not as the head person.... i dont think they could have had a chance to sell much, if any before restrictions were lifted... and would they take a loss this big?
Unless he was one of the funders, which i doubt, i dont think he has enough to control the vote.
Im glad you told him that because he likes Friday PRs, if you can imagine that... he has no clue about the markets. Fridays are the worst days for penny stock news...
... but again, it dont even matter which day if the PRs dont show up anywhere.
MOST penny stocks fail and its because of bad management. Its amazing how many unqualified people are running a penny stock ticker
A PUBLIC COMPANY CEO should know how to do these simple things, esp releasing a PR properly. SMH
Scam CEOs know how to do these things, cause their #1 focus is on moving the stock... but when a market savvy CEO + a solid/exciting business plan come together, BIG gains are made. Its all in the management
Imagine the people that threw MILLIONS at this company, at .35+. lol... I wonder if they are bitching at him as well. I hope so. They are toast if he dilutes heaviy down here, which is why getting the price higher ASAP is soooo important. Never know what could come up.
Time is not on our side, which is why i hope others are bitching at him as well
Sent him 2 emails today, you?....
Both the Bid and Ask are under .02 for the CRBTF ticker, all because you cannot figure out how to release a PR properly.
I feel sorry for any employees, investors, etc that have depended on you. This is beyond terrible.
There are many contract IR firms on Google. You need to send a dozen of them a request for a proposal and see what they suggest after looking over the DD. This will at least get some skilled people looking at your stock and maybe one or more of them will become buyers themselves cause its so cheap... and CONNECTED people are the ones you want buying, cause they tell others.
This is beyond stupid at this point. Your company is valued like a SHELL and it is 100% your fault.
Any competent CEO could have a strong uptrend this year.

there is only ONE PR on OTCmarkets and when i look at other stocks they shows YEARS worth of PRs on there. And OTCmarkets is the #1 source for penny investors: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/CRBTF/news
Now look at this crypto stock and how many PRs they have. ALL of theirs are on the site: https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/BFCH/news
that company is garbage and you are worth less than them.
Etrade, Yahoo, etc are the same. Your news cant be found unless someone DIGS. If people cant see/find your story, they cant buy. Its simple math
I could pick up the phone and figure this issue out in half an hour and you cant figure it out after MONTHS? WTF are you doing?!

somebody slammed it back under resistance, but i think its headed back up soon.
GNUS record volume pace. Cap is only $10 million and they have a red hot show on the largest kid network, which just got their airing tripled. IMO this one will pop back over $1... hot kid shows lead to strong merchandising
No wonder insiders have been buying $X,XXX,XXX in stock at these levels
Nickelodeon Triples Daily Broadcast of Genius Brands International’s Popular Preschool Series, Rainbow Rangers
All-New Episodes of the Hit Animated-Adventure Series to Premiere Each Sunday on Nick Jr. Beginning October 6
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As a result of the strong performance of Rainbow Rangers on Nick Jr. in the U.S., Genius Brands International “Genius Brands” (Nasdaq: GNUS) announced today that Nickelodeon, a Viacom Inc. company (Nasdaq: VIA, VIAB), has significantly increased the broadcasting of the Company’s original preschool series by tripling the daily broadcast.
Nickelodeon’s Nick Jr. will now broadcast Rainbow Rangers Monday – Friday, 3x per day, and on the weekends with a new episode premiering each Sunday. The rescue-based preschool series follows the adventures of seven girls who are Earth’s first responders, protecting people, animals, resources, and the natural beauty of our world.
Effective immediately, Nick Jr. will now go to airing Rainbow Rangers Monday – Friday, 3x per day, and on the weekends with a new episode premiering each Sunday. Since premiering on Nick Jr. in November 2018, the series has consistently achieved high ratings with its target demo of Girls 2 – 5-years-old.
“The increased broadcast run commitment in the premium 10 weeks leading up to Christmas underscores the success of the series. The exposure of Rainbow Rangers is now essentially tripled,” said Andy Heyward, Chairman & CEO, Genius Brands.
“As products are now rolling out into the marketplace, this huge increase in daily exposure will grow the awareness and appetite for the 375 SKUs of Rainbow Rangers’ licensed products beginning to be introduced now,” said Lloyd Mintz, SVP, Global Consumer Products, Genius Brands. “The licensed categories include toys, books, apparel, footwear, sleepwear, bedding, school supplies, party goods, costumes, novelty, vitamins, bathing suits, bicycles, among others.”
Heyward adds, “We are thrilled with the commitment that Nickelodeon continues to make to Rainbow Rangers by providing more opportunities for young audiences to watch throughout the week this special series that not only delivers fun, adventure and entertainment but important positive messaging of empowerment and diversity.”
In the international market, Rainbow Rangers season one debuted this summer across Latin America on Nickelodeon LatAm, and in its first major European territory, Italy, on Cartoonito. Genius Brands is currently in negotiations with a number of other leading broadcasters around the world, which will be announced in the coming days, as well as global licensing agents.
