HOUSTON, Texas, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTC PINK: GCEI), has diversified its operations in Waste 2 Fuels and PGM with its recently acquired new digital business as E-commerce sales grew to $341.7 billion in 2015, a 14.6% increase over 2014's $298.3 billion, according to estimates released by the U.S. Department of Commerce. E-commerce accounted for 60.4% of total retail sales growth.
The US Commerce Department estimates Q4 web sales will reach $89.08 billion, up 14.7% from $77.66 billion a year earlier. This relentless sales growth continues to take a toll on traditional retailer as the social media phenomenon continues to spur sales growth in categories previously unanticipated.
GCE continues to diversify its digital presence and growth into sustainable Smart Energy and Smart Home markets through its EcoApp programs, focusing on what it considers as neglected markets. "With the advent of Billion-dollar Sustainable Brands, the Billion-dollar Purpose-led Brand Club fueled disruptive innovation that uses sustainability to spur the development of radically better products and services" according to Freya Williams of S.B Sustainable Brands.
"Over the last several months, since GCE announced the acquisitions of its new User Driven digital brand strategies, GCE's stated position that the LED market is rigged for obsolescence has been qualified by highly regarded publications. GCE stands by its claims that the LED lighting industry is focused on reducing the longevity of LED lighting rather than extending it by using technologies that are abundantly available. There have been substantive valuations placed on firms challenging the status quo with programs such as GCE's Lifetime Replacement program," remarks Earl Azimov GCE CEO. "GCE's model of delivering more for less, driven by User Driven markets is seen as forcing the old guard's hand as everything from hotels rooms to taxis, crowd funding and razor blade distribution models are being rewritten. GCE has its brands, distribution and logistics in place to launch its new disruptive digital platforms within 90 days to conquer what it considers to be less for more, rigged markets".
"A higher purpose that ignites the company; mainstream appeal with positioning and packaging stripped of the crunchy clichés that alienate the average customer; and establishing a new 'behavioral contract' with consumers and other stakeholders," according to Freya Williams. This is exactly what GCE is unveiling and as E-Commerce in the US closes in on the $500 billion mark.

Global Clean Energy Signs LED Distribution Agreements and Rolls Out its Dollar-LED-Club and Lifetime Warranty Program

HOUSTON, August 16, 2016
HOUSTON, August 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Global Clean Energy, Inc. (OTC PINK: GCEI), GCE has signed distribution agreements with EPG Source of Dallas, Texas a leading Smart Energy and LED provider.
EPG Source is a one-source solution for Solar PV, Energy Storage and LED Systems with National distribution facilities throughout the US incorporating equipment, logistics, warehousing and delivery. EPG Source eliminates the need for multiple suppliers, streamlines cash flows, and provides merchant financing.
EPG Source is headed by Mr. Christian Siebens founder of the Clean Energy Division of Affiliated Distributors, the largest independent distributor of energy products in North America with sales in excess of $32 billion dollars. "We fully embrace GCE's business model and had been studying a similar plan at EPG. Thus it was a natural addition to our business to provide logistics, fulfillment and warranty support for GCE," stated Siebens.
With this agreement, GCE has all supply chains and logistics in place to launch its programs commencing with its Dollar-LED-Club, its Lifetime Warranty program and support its product expansion plan. "Lighting is the perfect medium to insert the other smart connectivity products to fill the house, because you use light everywhere," stated Philip Smallwood, the director of L.E.D. and lighting research for Silicon Valley-based Strategies Unlimited.
The agreement gives GCE access to a full range of smart energy technologies available to meet the needs of our customers. The U.S. Department of Energy considers the widespread adoption of LED technology to offer the greatest potential impact on energy conservation in the country. Current penetration in the LED market is seven per cent worldwide, and is expected by lighting analysts to reach fifty per cent by 2022. The LED market will bring in an estimated $38 billion dollars this year.
GCE's Lifetime Warranty program has gained critical acclaim since the New Yorker Magazine's recent whistle blower article called the industry to task "Instead of providing a product designed to last, obsolescence remains the rule of the day. THE L.E.D. QUANDARY: WHY THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS “BUILT TO LAST” J. B. MacKinnon, New Yorker JULY 14, 2016. With the advent of L.E.D. bulbs, we now have perhaps the first mass-consumer product of the twenty-first century to challenge planned obsolescence".
GCE's model of creating non-obsolescence in the LED industry parallels the razor blade excessive pricing practices, which gave way to the Dollar Shave Club phenomenon. "In both markets, consumers have been taken for granted and obvious market opportunities overlooked. Last month's $1 Billion sale of Dollar Shave Club to Unilever says it all," stated Dr. Earl Azimov, GCE President. According to the report in the New York Times "Unilever is paying $1 billion for Dollar Shave Club, a five-year-old start-up that sells razors and other personal products for men. Every other company should be afraid, very afraid".
The New York Times goes on to say, "The same forces that drove Dollar Shave's rise are altering a wide variety of consumer product categories. Together, they add up to something huge - a new slate of companies that are exploring novel ways of making and marketing some of the most lucrative products we buy today".
"We have done our research; we know exactly which market demographic segments resonate with lifetime warranties and energy saving programs, and which rooms and lighting essentials are priorities for our specific target markets. Just consider the market size, diversity, growth and revenue," says Azimov. "We will offer LED bulbs with 40,000 hour average usage rates with complete coverage for the life of the home. GCE will officially launch Dollar-LED-Club in Q4 2016 and run all commercial operations, marketing, sales and media, with sourcing, fulfillment, delivery and logistics handled by EPG Source".
