Pursuant to the eCommerce lease agreement, Better Plant has taken over the management of JUSU direct eCommerce, Amazon and wholesale distribution, with the aim to optimize and grow JUSU's direct-to-consumer, eCommerce sales. The Company is purchasing certain existing inventory for a fee of $25,000 and will also purchase all future inventory to fulfill all sales at a 35% discount to the consumer price of the products.

"Currently, thanks to JUSU's loyal customer base, its product sales revenues currently sit at approximately $40,000 in monthly sales with a return eCommerce customer rate of 28%. This does not include juice sales or other revenue from JUSU Bar, and no money has been spent on advertising to date to generate these sales. We believe that we can increase revenues significantly by leveraging enhanced digital marketing programs and influencer marketing," said Gabriel Villablanca, Better Plant's Director of eCommerce and Digital Marketing.

The Company plans to launch an extensive influencer marketing campaign with a focus on micro-influencers in North America for JUSU, leveraging Urban Juve's existing network of influencers. The program will involve a large volume of partnerships using a combination of affiliate, contesting, and content-based programs. The Company also plans to increase efforts related to customer engagement to leverage its current customer base to increase customer lifetime value. This will include email and text-based marketing to upsell and encourage repeat purchases, and will also include expanded product offerings such as bundles and subscription models.

"With more people staying at home and with the increased awareness around health, immunity, and wellness, there is an opportunity to build JUSU's direct-to-consumer business of plant-based home, body and baby products," added Villablanca. "We want to become a customer-first organization that makes its decisions based on data and what's good for the customer. Using data, we will ensure we have the right products for our customers, at the right time, as well as use it to influence further product launches. Data will drive our decisions enabling us to make better choices, provide better products, and be a better company to our loyal customers."
