“Decentralized sales turning social accounts into bank accounts."

Waterloo, Ontario – TheNewswire - May 18, 2022 - SponsorsOne Inc., (CSE:SPO) (CNSX:SPO.CN), (Frankfurt:5SO), (OTC:SPONF), a company that utilizes its proprietary platform that combines direct to consumer digital marketing with wholesale and retail distribution in the rapidly growing Spirits, Functional Beverage, and Hemp Sectors is pleased to announce the pending beta release of the SponsorCoin 3.0.

Myles Bartholomew, CEO of SponsorsOne, said, "We are seeing the maturity of influencer marketing shift to decentralized sales as Brands tighten budgets in this inflationary economy. Building a community around a brand emphasizing sales crates a direct and positive impact on the Brand's bottom line. Turning those social media accounts into bank accounts with real-time cash commissions drives this massive Gig Economy.”

The SponsorCoin platform will track the creation of every community built around any Brand determining all inter-relationships. When a sale happens, the Brand has pre-decided how commissions allocate among the community, and settlement occurs in real time. For example, the community member who affected the sale within their social network closest to the buyer might get 60% of the cash commissions. The community member that introduced this direct community member would get 40% of the commissions. The Brand is paying 20-30% cash commission on direct to consumer sales.

The sale might have happened five layers down from the first community creator. In this case, all members in the linked community will earn SponsorCoins in their digital wallet. The Brand will decide on the rewards based on engagement, authenticity, and ongoing content creation. Cash and Digital Currency combined drives Community Commerce.

SponsorCoin pay for marketing, and cash pays for sales. All members will open a Stripe account and cash will settle in their account once the product return period has expired.

SponsorsOne will launch the beta test around Doc Wylder’s in Q3, 2022. Doc Wilders represents a premium product in the Ready to Drink (“RTD”) market and is being sold Direct to Consumer. We continue to see sales every month on www.docwylders.com  and anticipate that the launch of SponsorsCoin 3.0 will begin to accelerate the DTC market for Doc Wilders. We plan to enhance the Brand UX/UI design further and open the SponsorCoin platform to any Brand that needs to build a decentralized sales force nationally and internationally.

SponsorCoin 3.0 is planning to beta in Q3 2022, be the first to sign up to Doc Wylder’s brand community and build your community to earn cash and SponsorCoins.
