New York, NY and Toronto, ON, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- NexTech AR Solutions (the “Company” or “NexTech”) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) )(FSE: N29) today announced the availability of its Infinite Pet products on Walmart.com, under the Pet Supplies section. The company is aggressively expanding the distribution as well as working on ARitizing(™) its recently acquired eCommerce brands. For the month of April 2019 the Infinite Pet brand generated $134,318.59 (USD) in revenue, while combined revenue for NexTech’s AR-enabled eCommerce division hit a record $391,291.25 for the same time period.
Infinite Pet’s all-natural and vet-approved Hip + Joint supplement, in both chews and powder, and Essential Probiotics are now easily accessible by Walmart.com’s approximately 100 million monthly shoppers. Made with quality organic ingredients that are guaranteed to show results, Infinite Pet’s products are an attractive item for any dog owner looking to safely and reliably improve and sustain their pet’s health. In addition to expanded distribution with Walmart.com the company plans to enhance the value of the brand by using its AR technology to launch a brand ambassador as a 3-D hologram which will activate off the Infinite Pet logo, creating an exciting one of a kind shopping experience, expected to launch in the next 30 days.
“We’re excited to be selling Infinite Pet’s products on Walmart.com, as it’s one of the most popular online shopping destinations and a platform that pet lovers use every day to find quality pet products at reasonable prices,” said Evan Gappelberg, CEO of NexTech. “Infinite Pet Life was a great acquisition and is a fantastic opportunity for NexTech to showcase its augmented reality capabilities. We believe that by leveraging the magic of AR into the pet industry, through our own brand, we will create tremendous value for our shareholders.”
A record $72.5 billion was spent on pets in the U.S. last year, according to the American Pet Products Association. Walmart recently announced an increased focus on the pet industry, with the opening of in-store veterinary clinics and an online pet pharmacy, as reported by CNBC.com.
