D8.co will deliver their award winning Delta-8 carts, Delta-8 disposables, and Delta-8 gummies to any customer within 1-hour in a 25-mile radius of any professional NFL team.

Customers want our products, and they want them immediately.” The first six states D8.co will integrate into their program are Texas, Georgia, Florida, Minnesota, Ohio, and North Carolina. The company will expand into the rest of the U.S immediately, with full integration expected to take approximately 45 days. “We have more than 50 major fulfillment centers locked in that are centrally managed from our cloud technology. Once an order is placed, our customers will receive an email and text where they can track our drivers all the way to delivery,” said Hugh McPherson, EVP of D8.co. D8.co expects to immediately double online sales with the new integration. “We are extremely excited to launch 1-hour delivery,” said Duffield. “We just became the largest cannabis company in the United States, which makes us a prime acquisition target. I’m very proud of our core team and all the hard work everyone has put in to make D8 the number one brand in the market.” About D8.co D8.co is based in Colorado and Miami with satellite offices in Las Vegas and Los Angeles. The company is an assembly of the top hemp and cannabis minds in the country. With backgrounds in extraction, chemistry, manufacturing, marketing, distribution, and legal, the D8 team came together organically around this elusive, but extremely powerful molecule to create a new category of products.

Twinlab Consolidated Corporation

The clinically-tested, science-backed skincare line features a proprietary formulation of microencapsulated copper peptides and nine world-class ingredients, so women can feel beautiful from the inside out in every stage of life Reserveage, one of the industry’s top leaders in wellness and beauty supplements for-women by women, has expanded its product portfolio to seamlessly blend outer beauty with inner wellness with the launch of their Pro-Collagen Booster skincare collection. Founded on the premise of the needs and desires from women as it relates to skincare, the dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free (Leaping Bunny-certified), paraben and sulfate-free line promotes the appearance of youthful, collagen-rich skin on the most visible areas of the body - the face, eye, neck, hands and feet. With a team of scientists, Reserveage utilizes unique technology to create innovative, efficacious products with patented and trademarked ingredients that are designed for whole body benefits, including their powerful microencapsulated copper peptides and nine world-class ingredients, including Dermaxyl®, Beautifeye®, EyelissTM, Matrixyl®, with proven results from 29 clinical studies. The brand’s unparalleled technology allows for copper to be absorbed into the skin more effectively, without oxidation in the form of microencapsulated copper peptides, supporting smooth and firm skin in the key areas most impacted by collagen degradation. “When looking at the market opportunity, the skincare segment is the biggest and fastest-growing sector within the Beauty & Personal Care market,” said Yamit Sadok, Senior Director of Marketing at Reserveage. “Reserveage as a brand is already positioned as a premium beauty brand with Collagen-boosting nutritionals targeting skin benefits. Our foray into topicals allowed us to capitalize on the white space in the marketplace, while completing the inside and outside approach - ultimately enhancing the consumer experience while reshaping the way personal care products are formulated, marketed and used. We’re excited to get products into the hands of consumers and make our official debut into the topical landscape.” The collection touts four inaugural products that give your skin some extra TLC, including: Pro-Collagen Illuminating Eye Cream ($49.99 MSRP): A proprietary formulation containing exceptional ingredients such as Beautifeye® to improve global eye contour appearance and reduce the appearance of crow's feet and under eye bags while diminishing the look of dark circles and puffiness. Pro-Collagen Firming Face Cream ($59.99 MSRP): This specialized face cream is infused with Matrixyl® synthé 6® to even skin tone appearance, smoothness and texture while reducing the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles. Pro-Collagen Firming Neck Cream ($59.99 MSRP): Designed to combat the appearance of sagging and loose skin around the neck and jawline with a rich neck cream that improves and maintains the look of skin’s elasticity with ingredients such as IdealiftTM. Pro-Collagen Hand & Foot Cream ($44.99 MSRP): Fade away the look of aging on hands and feet with an emollient hand and foot cream specially formulated with RevidrateTM to provide improved appearance of skin smoothness and tone on skin surfaces exposed to UV light. "Reserveage’s new product line is incredibly exciting—it uses proprietary microencapsulated copper peptides that allow for maximal ability to promote the appearance of collagen-rich skin,” said dermatologist and Reserveage ambassador Dr. Tiffany Libby. “Copper peptides have been well studied and have been shown to help hydrate, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and stimulate the look of collagen-rich skin, all which are aimed to enhance the appearance of smooth and firm skin and minimize signs of aging." The new and innovative product line takes a unique approach to skincare that is designed for whole body benefits. Boasting high-quality ingredients that are supported by robust audit and testing requirements to give your skin the products it deserves, the clinical study results show that key ingredients in Reserveage’s Pro-Collagen skincare line: Reduces the appearance of eye bags by 52% within 2 months Reduces the appearance of eye bag volume in 70% of volunteers within 2 months Improves the appearance of skin sagging by 43.6% within 2 months Improves skin moisturization/hydration by 34% in just 30 days Increases the appearance of lifting effect by 28% within 2 months Reserveage’s Pro-Collagen skincare line is available on their website, www.reserveage.tlcchealth.com, Amazon, and other retailers nationwide including Vitamin Shoppe.

Coresight Research’s Second Annual 10.10 Shopping Festival Goes Livestream

Coresight Research

Coresight Research will host its second annual 10.10 Shopping Festival on October 10, 2021, from 10am to 10pm EDT in partnership with livestream shopping platforms, CommentSold and Smartzer, and 1:1 live video co-shopping platform, GhostRetail. This year, Coresight Research has partnered with Access Beauty Insiders to bring more beauty brands, especially indie brands, to 10.10 to generate discovery and excitement. 10.10 Shopping Festival features a prominent charitable aspect so that consumers and brands can collaborate on making a difference as participating retailers and brands are donating at least 5% of sales to partner charities. Consumers increasingly choose where they spend based on the social/ethical/cultural values of retailers and brands. In a recent Coresight Research proprietary US shopper survey, 60% of US shoppers state that a retailer’s or brand’s social impact is important when making apparel and footwear purchases, making the charitable giveback of 10.10 a solid plus for all participating in the event. The charities included this year include American Heart Association, Delivering Good, National Breast Cancer Foundation, PinkAid, Retailers United, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Soles4Souls. The festival this year is focused on accelerating US consumer adoption of livestreaming. Livestream platforms boast superior consumer engagement and significantly reduced return rates versus ecommerce generally, providing retailers with significant opportunities for enhanced profitability. According to a Coresight Research survey, 39.7% of consumers shop in livestreams for a great deal, 38.2% to discover new products, 36.6% to learn more about new products, and lastly 30.7% because the buying is exciting. Deborah Weinswig, CEO and Founder of Coresight Research, said, “Livestream shopping has grown from a zero to a $300 billion industry in China in a very short period of time. We are very confident that the US market will reach what we are seeing in China, and the 10.10 Shopping Festival will enable retailers and brands to test and learn and grow this commerce segment. Compared to 2020, Coresight Research estimates that livestreaming e-commerce penetration in the US will more than triple by 2023, representing huge growth potential.” To introduce the US market to livestream shopping and give retailers and consumers alike the opportunity to explore and test the channel, Coresight is partnering with Commentsold, Ghost Retail and Smartzer, platforms used by global brands and retailers to make their livestreams and videos shoppable, on the 10.10 Shopping Festival. “We work with over 6,000 retailers that are already using live selling to connect with their customer audiences on a personal level,” said Brandon Kruse, CEO of CommentSold. “So we are thrilled to partner with Coresight Research on the 10.10 shopping festival to give the merchants on our platform new opportunities to reach customers via livestreamed sales.” Jimmy Furlano, Founder and COO of GhostRetail, added, “The world of retail is transforming rapidly as live streaming video is no longer a novelty, but a new online shopping standard. GhostRetail is proud to stand behind Coresight’s 10.10 Shopping Festival, supporting a fantastic cause that is both innovative and charitable, and to help participating retailers understand how our 1:1 live video co-shopping platform can add cost-effective video selling to their businesses that is proven to convert ecommerce transactions by more than 7x.” “We are incredibly excited to be part of the 10.10 event, giving brands and retailers access to Smartzer's live shopping technology,” stated Karoline Gross, Founder and CEO of Smartzer. “We are very interested to see how different brands and retailers in the US will approach shoppable livestream content throughout the event, following the huge success of the format in China—where nearly 15% of all online sales now come from live shopping. Results from live shopping in other markets are already showing engagement rates of up to 75%, strongly suggesting that this format will become core to e-commerce.” Lisa Mason, renowned former national home shopping television host, and Sarah Williams, on-air host and performer seen on Amazon Prime, CBS, E Network and Yahoo Productions, will be hosting selected sessions of 10.10 Livestream.

Maison Métaphore…Brings Its Latest Designer Collection to The World Through Its New E-Commerce Website

Maison Métaphore...

TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach - 20 September 2021 - Japanese fashion brand Metaphor, directed by Kento Fukatsu, fashion designer and founder, has launched its global e-commerce website with its new brand, Maison Métaphore.... The launch coincides with the release of the brand's autumn/winter 2021 collection and aims to expand its reach across the world. Metaphor from 2019 Spring/Summer "Just like a metaphor, the concept behind Maison Métaphore...is to convey our evolving world through innovative, ground-breaking fashion. By launching our global e-commerce website, we are enabling a larger number of people the opportunity to express themselves through our progressive, gender-neutral apparel," said Kento Fukatsu, designer and founder of Maison Métaphore... and Metaphor. Fukatsu's approach to design is the use of juxtapositions and is inspired by Dadaism, an art movement that began during the First World War in Zurich. This produces clothes that give the impression they are not worn exactly as they were intended i.e., backwards, inside out, or skirts that look like pants. In addition, and with sustainable fashion in mind, Fukatsu's designs are designed to be worn for a long time by a wide range of people, regardless of gender. The theme for the brand's autumn/winter 2021 collection is In the Middle of Change with the brand's signature sense of incompatibility. With a nod to the world's circumstances, it was created with a mixture of diverse cultures in mind but still from a Japanese perspective. The collection uses the best materials from Japan and features a combination of a bustier, jacket and a jumper skirt reconstructed from a trench coat. The collection was supervised by the stylist Tsuyoshi Kurata. The e-commerce website will be available in English, Simplified Chinese and Japanese as well as providing access to a 24/7 live chat with customer support. The site also offers buyers free shipping globally. Trench Jumper skirt $613.33 Bustier docked jacket $707.69 Trench docked wool trouser $547.28 Vest docked wool coat $1,037.95 About Maison Métaphore... Founded by acclaimed Japanese designer Kento Fukatsu, Maison Métaphore...is a global e-commerce brand designing unique apparel collections for both female and male consumers. 'Metaphor' was selected as one the nine best young brands 2016 by fashionsnap.com. The brand was originally established as a Japanese domestic brand, Metaphor and was renamed to Maison Métaphore... in 2021. About Kento Fukatsu Kento Fukatsu founder of Metaphor and Maison Métaphore... is an experienced designer who breaks the rules of fashion. He is inspired by Dadaism and Japanese underground street culture, which is the identity of the designer himself, as well as innovative items that are conscious of diversity. After graduating from the Fashion Creative Department of Esmod Japon, he launched Metaphor... in 2016.
