Yourist, Grapefruit CEO, stated, “As a direct result of our recent data license with BudTrader, we have formed a remarkable strategic alliance between the two companies. Grapefruit has the ability to ‘touch the plant’ as a result of its twin California cannabis licenses, and BudTrader has a massive cannabis-centric user base and custom designed analytics which will allow Grapefruit to target market our products directly to BudTrader’s very specific set of consumers. Therein lies the natural symbiotic alliance between the two enterprises. This synergy will allow us to effectively ramp up our respective revenues simultaneously, free of competition. The Grapefruit team looks forward to a long term, prosperous relationship with BudTrader.com and its intuitive, creative yet metric driven management.”
BudTrader’s CEO, cannabis industry trail-blazer Brad McLaughlin, who clearly understands how to market cannabis and CBD related products via BudTrader’s innovative social media model platform which can match buyers and sellers of limitless product offerings stated “from our initial meetings last month, Grapefruit’s team intuitively grasped the value of our advanced data analytics in building a strong, efficient and durable supply chain. It bodes very well for a licensed Cannabis product company to partner with us and think like a social media company and Budtrader is happy to be part of this alliance. I look forward to working with the Grapefruit team to determine the ultimate commercial frontiers of our unique collaboration.”
