- Projected Annual Revenue of $5-$10 million
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMMO, Inc. (Nasdaq: POWW, POWWP) (“AMMO” or the “Company”) the owner of GunBroker.com, the largest online marketplace serving the firearms and shooting sports industries, and a leading vertically integrated producer of high-performance ammunition and components, is pleased to announce it is scheduled to launch its in-house marketing suite of services to manufacturers and Marketplace sellers on or about January 1, 2023.
The Company has been solidifying relationships with well-established and industry leading manufacturers and large footprint Marketplace sellers to support their efforts to offer direct to consumer products via the Marketplace, taking advantage of the best-in-class consumer reach of the GunBroker.com platform, coupled with access to data analytics that will better ensure buyers are able to shop for and purchase guns, ammunition and outdoor sports products they are interested in based upon regional and national sales data and trends. To date, these services have been provided by 3rd parties that don’t have available the vast non-identifiable consumer data that is so valuable to the targeted online sale of merchandise. The Company’s new suite of services to be offered will support content creation, internal sales representation and customer service, and a robust distribution network unparalleled within the market for the dedicated outdoor sports enthusiast.
“The Market will see a series of initiatives from the Company designed to increase market share and enhance shareholder value by leveraging the incredible reach of the GunBroker.com Marketplace. Bringing the marketing and data analytics services in-house to curate and make available to manufacturers and volume sellers is another step in building upon the incredibly valuable Marketplace asset. This is one of the many reasons why the Board and management targeted the acquisition of the GunBroker.com family of companies,” said Fred Wagenhals, AMMO’s Chairman & CEO.
