Namaste announces achieving over 6,000 registered NamasteMD users ahead of July 1 target and launches new marketing initiatives
VANCOUVER, June 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ – Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N)(FRA: M5BQ)(OTCMKTS: NXTTF) is pleased to announce that the Company has exceeded its July 1st goal and has acquired over 6,000 registered users on NamasteMD with a 4.9-star rating based on 209 reviews on Apple iOS devices and a 4.7-star rating on Google Android based on 106 consumer reviews. These results have exceeded the Company’s July 1 target of 5,000 registered users and Namaste anticipates further acceleration of its database during the second half of the year with new marketing initiatives and strategic partnerships including applications of NamasteMD for Indigenous communities, targeted healthcare organizations, digital marketing and high-traffic content networks.
NamasteMD is Canada’s first fully-integrated medical cannabis telemedicine application available on iPhone and Android devices, which provides free consultations in an enhanced online environment. Namaste’s ability to acquire medical cannabis patients online, with an acquisition cost of only $59.00 per patient, will propel NamasteMD to become Canada’s largest database of Canadian medical cannabis patients.
Namaste is now focused on launching a comprehensive marketing strategy that will include content networks, digital marketing and PPC advertising. NamasteMD will provide remote access to rural communities which suffer from little access to healthcare services. The Company will leverage its technology in partnerships with rural Indigenous communities as well as specialized healthcare groups to further accelerate patient growth over the next six months.
Namaste is confident that it will achieve its goal of acquiring 50,000 patients in 2018, with a target of 200,000 in 2019. Namaste has firmly established itself as a global innovator of technology platforms, e-commerce, telemedicine and artificial intelligence, all of which provide significant value to Namaste’s growing revenue and in creating innovation within the cannabis industry.
