One of the things Hemp, Inc.'s CEO, Bruce Perlowin, will be discussing is his unique
concept of how public companies can generate more profits than
traditionally generated. Perlowin sought an unconventional
way of marketing that would earn greater profits and serve the
needs of society as well. According to a spokesperson for Perlowin,
he gave an exceptional amount of his personal stock to Patch Adams'
Gesundheit! Institute (their largest donor in their 40-year
history) when the stock price was below a penny.
Over the last 12 months, and especially in the last week,
as predicted by Perlowin last year, the entire industrial
hemp and medical marijuana industry stocks began a massive growth
curve with HEMP soaring as high as $.13. This means Patch Adams is much closer to
having the funds needed to build the fifty
million dollar free hospital in West Virginia (www.patchadams.org).
Traditionally, public companies have an obligation to earn
profits for their shareholders and aren't supposed to donate their
stock to charities which doesn't help in that endeavor. However,
from Perlowin's perspective, the opposite is true. "Here's the
concept...I donated fifty million shares of my personal stock
(since currently doing that with company stock would be frowned on)
I then told Patch Adams that if the stock ever reaches a dollar the
Gesundheit! Institute would have the fifty
million dollars to build the hospital. So in an unusual way,
everyone who buys and holds onto their HEMP stock is helping that
stock in a small, or big way, because if enough people rally around
this concept, then an enormous buying pressure would be created
that could in fact drive the stock to the initial goal of
$1.00."
"So, instead of people donating money to a cause they believe
in, which is very hard in the current economic conditions, they
could actually make money by building a free hospital as the stock
continues to go up to the $1.00 mark
as described above. Part of helping this concept succeed is just
for people to be aware of the situation which is clearly
illustrated by the statistics described on Hemp, Inc.'s Eco-Harmony
Loyalty Card website. "Today's consumer is more willing than
ever to engage with a company they feel is making a difference. In
fact, many consumers prefer shopping with these businesses. This
creates a new opportunity for your business to reach these
conscientious consumers through social purpose and cause-marketing.
Fifty-seven percent of consumers are comfortable with the idea that
business can support good causes. Seventy-eight percent like to buy
from businesses that make a donation to worthy causes."
Perlowin hopes to create "Social-Cause Stock Purchasing"
as a new trend in the industrial hemp and medical marijuana
industry, especially since the birth of that industry was started
by the Compassionate Use Act of 1996. "Our industry has way more
compassion inculcated in it from the very beginning so this concept
can easily be birthed here," says Perlowin. He feels whoever gives
the most, earns the most. And he is demonstrating this principle in
his business activities. We invite you to visit us at our booth at
the Hempcon 2013 Tour this weekend where we will be showcasing our
HerbaGenix nutraceutical hemp-based product line and the other
products our company offers.
With a successful demonstration of the model described above,
Perlowin hopes to have other public companies doing the same thing
to encourage even more "Social-Cause Stock Purchasers" to
only buy stock from companies that support nonprofits and help
social causes. Our list of such organizations was listed in our
last press release. Perlowin stated, "I am in negotiations with
other public companies in our sector to match the donations that I
made with my "Personal Stock" but this time with their
"Company Stock" thus "Generating More Profits" for
their public company this way." (See statistics above.)
In terms of "Generating Income" for the company and
keeping with this theme, while traveling to California, Perlowin will also be launching
this week "The First Product" Hemp, Inc. created in its
developmental stage the Eco-Harmony Loyalty Card. This product
gives back to charity with every purchase, "One Swipe At A
Time." This marketing/fundraiser program is being launched with
Michael Beckwith's, Agape
International Spiritual Center, in Culver
City, CA and is expected to generate significant revenues
for both this nonprofit and the public company as well. Interested
merchants in the area who want to attract new and "Conscientious
Consumers" with this very powerful "Customer Acquisition
Model" and "Customer Retention Model" should contact The
Agape International Center. (See statistics above)
ABOUT Hemp, Inc.
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) focuses on the vast market created by the
quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar industrial hemp
industry, allowing to freely market in all 50 states. Hemp, Inc.
currently is not involved in the cultivation or marketing of
medical marijuana. It is the company's belief that legalization of
growing hemp and medical marijuana in all 50 states and at the
federal level will come to pass very quickly now. With that in
mind, the company is building the infrastructure with the potential
to gain substantial market share before and after industrial hemp
and medical marijuana prohibition ends.
Hemp, Inc.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies, not
exploit or endanger any group of them. Thus, the publicly-traded
company believes in "upstreaming" of a portion of profit from the
marketing of their finished hemp goods back to its originator, in
which most cases will one day be the American farmer, cultivating
natural, sustainable products. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on
comprehensive investment results—that is, with respect to
performance along the interrelated dimensions of people, planet,
and profits— our triple bottom line approach can be an important
tool to support sustainability goals.
CEO of Hemp, Inc., Bruce
Perlowin, positioned the company as a leader in the
industrial hemp industry, with a social and environmental mission
at its core. In fact, he wanted to, consciously, found a business
with non-financial goals that weren't an after-thought, but are
part of its DNA.
