Retail’s commitment to deliver quality products at low cost, using an efficient marketing model and using the most effective marketing programs as defined by the Company, means that Retail, an important partner for brands operating in FMCG-rich Asia, has developed a comprehensive online marketplace on which consumers can interact and compare the products they purchase. This integrated marketplace is built upon an innovative strategy and platform for the acquisition of products across a wide range of consumer brands.
Retail also invests into R-Series with significant support to consumers as of December 31, 2016. In 2014, retailers developed an active plan to build an overall global retail strategy with an emphasis on improving the brand’s image in its product portfolios, including its direct marketing products for the non-retailers and retail products for the major US consumers.
It is important to note that, although there is no financial impact from this move, the acquisition of Retail continues to be an important asset of the Company that will benefit the Company’s overall business growth and reduce the cost of revenues, which has improved significantly in the last two years since inception of the R-Series.
Further, as the Company invests into more and more of the best and brightest U.S. brand brands through these acquisition opportunities, this investment is likely to increase the company’s exposure to brands in other emerging markets, including Africa, LatinAmerica, Asia, Africa, Latin America, Latin America, and the Middle East.
As a result, the Company has accelerated its strategic interest in the R-Series and its R&D plans by increasing its leverage on emerging brands, which are currently being targeted for new acquisitions in a bid to advance the brand’s growth. Since the acquisition, retail has invested in R-Series and R&D plans to develop or enhance the brand’s products and services in a diversified manner, thereby offering a greater opportunity for the Company to acquire brand new products and services. The successful acquisition of Retail also is in the immediate interests of investors, particularly as it reflects continued expansion of our R&D infrastructure following successful acquisition of brands with successful R-Series product lines
