for further commercialization with advertising
Search is a lucrative business, as Google’s rise to fame and
fortune will testify, but the ocean of information on the Web is so vast and
growing so rapidly that it’s beginning to make sense for specialized search
engines to enter the space. Some already have. There’s SkyScanner, operating
out of Scotland, which only serves up information on the travel and flight
industry – owned, it may be added, by Ctrip, China’s largest travel company.
There’s TinEye – a reverse image search engine – which lets you search with
images, and now there’s a cannabis search app from NUGL Inc. (OTC: NUGL), which
aims to make information on products, services and anything cannabis related
much easier to locate.
NUGL Inc., located in Chino Hills, California, aims to
become a leader in fostering communication and business relations in the
cannabis space. Its search app is the first step. The platform also comes with
social media characteristics, since it has the capability to facilitate
networking and alliances between brands and service providers. Of course, its
greatest potential lies in the area of advertising, à la Google.
Google may be best known as a company that operates a search
engine. However, it’s bread and butter comes from advertising. About 70 percent
of Google’s revenues ($100 billion and growing) are derived from a product
called Adwords, which places ads on sites that turn up in response to a
searcher’s queries. Almost all the rest of it comes from another product,
AdSense, which lets websites join Google’s network and run Google-branded ads.
With its leading edge, first-of-its-kind search app and online directory for
the marijuana industry, NUGL may soon be in a position to offer those kinds of
products. It’s already on its way to being a one-stop shop for dispensaries,
hydro stores, vape shops, brands and strains, as well as doctors, lawyers and
other service professionals.
NUGL is the only cannabis search app built for the people,
by the people. The goal of the company was to build the most user-friendly app
experience in the cannabis industry, which it did by listening to its users and
giving them what they want. NUGL’s services are completely free, and the
top-spot listings are earned with honest user-based reviews, not sold to the
highest bidders. NUGL can be used to search for genuine user-rated
dispensaries, strains, brands, doctors and much more, all related to cannabis.
Search services centered on cannabis are likely to grow in
importance as the industry develops. In 2017, Arcview Market Research/BDS
Analytics estimated U.S. legal cannabis sales at $9.2 billion. They are
projected to reach $47.3 billion by 2027. Such scope is well within NUGL’s
reach. The versatile web app has no geographic limitations and can rapidly
connect cannabis companies, related vertical services and users. The uniquely
designed cannabis database platform features first-to-market technology that is
attracting users and listings on a daily basis. Available on both iOS and
Android, the NUGL search app brings a powerful cannabis search tool within
reach of anyone, anytime, anywhere with the ease of a smartphone.
