“The weeks leading up to 4/20 are the cannabis industry’s holiday season – a period where millions of cannabis enthusiasts make purchases, buy tickets, and make plans for marijuana’s official holiday. Historically, during the weeks leading up to 4/20, we have experienced significantly higher growth and visibility,” stated MassRoots CEO Isaac Dietrich. “This year, we expect the 4/20 season will propel our network to one million users and have a significant impact on our revenue growth.”
While the vast majority of MassRoots' engagement and growth comes from its mobile applications, the Company launched a new web platform in early December to open an additional revenue and user growth stream. Alexa ratings are a public measure of a website’s popularity and are used by advertising agencies to gauge websites’ advertising value – similar to a Nielsen rating for television broadcast. During the month of January, MassRoots.com experienced its highest ever Alexa ratings 21 out of the 31 days of the month, reflecting increasing amounts of web traffic from the Company's SEO strategy. MassRoots’ Alexa page is available here and is updated daily.
