Las Vegas, NV, Hong Kong & Zurich, Switzerland, March 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 12 ReTech Corporation (OTC:
RETC) announced today that it has launched its new revamped 12 Europe AG website to support the new Jelmoli implementation of the
Company’s 12 Sconti APP which is due to launch in the next few days. Those who are interested can visit the website at www.12europe.com. The main website is in English for the international and investing community
while the 12 Sconti tab goes directly to 12sconti.com which is written entirely in German to support Jelmoli’s 12 Sconti product
offerings in Switzerland.
The 12 Europe website features two main products; 12 Sconti and 12 Visore.
Now that Switzerland’s Jelmoli, known as the “House of Brands”, has integrated the 12Sconti APP into its
operations, they have begun promoting the benefits of this new marketing tool to their customers. Their customer database contains
around one million shoppers loyal to the Jelmoli brand. Their customers are being encouraged to download the 12Sconti APP by a
comprehensive local public relations campaign. The first activities will happen next week with a Jelmoli Press Release sent to more
than 60 major Swiss publications.
Jelmoli will use the 12 Sconti APP to advertise daily specials that its business units want to put in front of
customers who find themselves in the vicinity of that business unit. 12 Sconti is an ecology-friendly mobile application that seeks
to prevent food spoilage and waste. Each merchant like Jelmoli donates 1% of their 12Sconti sales receipts to the charity of
their choice. Like our other APPs, 12Sconti offers retailers a marketing platform independent of Google, Facebook or Instagram, to
reach potential customers in the vicinity and attract them to their stores.
Angelo Ponzetta, 12 ReTech’s CEO commented, “We started the 12Sconti project in May 2018 in collaboration with
The Hunger Project in Winterthur, Switzerland, but without the support of a major retailer like Jelmoli, the adoption by both local
retailers and users was slower than we had expected.“
Mr. Ponzetta continued, “However now, with Jelmoli on-board, we have a proposition that will make sense to the
Zurich population. Jelmoli will use their in-house database in conjunction with a well-conceived public relations campaign to drive
downloads of the 12Sconti APP. Jelmoli’s goal is to offer to nearby customers vacant restaurant tables and products like bakery
goods with limited shelf lives for immediate purchase at discounted prices.”
Mr. Ponzetta finished, “With our recently acquired operations in the USA and with the further progress of
Jelmoli, I truly believe that our business operations are now very much improved in comparison with previous years. I look forward
to announcing additional progress on our path to increased shareholder value.”
