US: SinglePoint Announces Product Rollout, Tobacco, Vape Pen Distribution Strategy for Newly Acquired GreenStar Brand

Source from:  Marketwired 01/28/2015

SinglePoint Inc. (OTC: SING) announces that it will position its GreenStar brand to leverage new and existing relationships for a product rollout that will include both traditional and smokeless tobacco products ranging from electronic cigarettes, vape pens and, contingent on the trade embargo being lifted, Cuban cigars.

CEO Greg Lambrecht states,"I am very happy to have completed the GreenStar acquisition, and look forward to expanding into territory notably familiar to me while we continue harvesting opportunities and relationships in the legalized cannabis sector."

As VP of Sales for Single-Stick, "PrimeTime," a retail tobacco company, Mr. Lambrecht increased sales from $300,000 USD per year to $10 Million+ per year. SinglePoint execs agree, given Lambrecht's experience in this realm, GreenStar is in a great position to capitalize on a trending market. As a reflection of its strategy for lateral expansion, GreenStar Payment Solutions, Inc. will now simply be branded as GreenStar.

Vape pens have grown in popularity over the past year to the extent that the Oxford dictionary chose "vape" as its 2014 word of the year. Use of the pens has more than doubled in the past twelve months.

SinglePoint has entered negotiations with Royale Tobacco regarding a vape pen distribution agreement with the option to develop a private label. Concurrently GreenStar is soliciting retail accounts to lay the foundation for placement candidates.

Finally, in preparation for possible changes in US - Cuba relations, SinglePoint CEO Greg Lambrecht has reached out to his long time cigar distribution partners and has presented a deal to distribute Cuban cigars in the US contingent on the potential for the trade embargo to be lifted. Mr. Lambrecht distributed cigars throughout the US and Canada. Mr. Lambrecht's company Premium Cigars International (formerly PCI) had over 25,000 accounts. Mr. Lambrecht raised $10,000,000 through an IPO in 1997 as the founder and largest shareholder.
