ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) has been closely monitored for its upside as it competes in the hemp-derived cannabis market. CIIX has launched a cannabidiol (CBD) online store in the free-trade zone of Shanghai and soon it plans to open a brick-and-mortar store in its home market of San Gabriel, California, to market a line of food and nutrition products. However, the bulk of its existing business remains in investor relations, which is growing as the company invests more in personnel and advertising, successfully raising its profile.
CIIX offers a variety of consulting services to Chinese-speaking clients and companies. It offers real-time financial information and educational services in Chinese language character sets. It also provides consulting services to smaller companies seeking to go public. It has clients on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTCQB markets. During the quarter ended February 28, 2017, the bulk of the company’s revenues were from its investor relations activities.
The development of new roadshows and multimedia presentations has helped CIIX grow public company clients, building the company’s brand and reputation. CIIX said its gain in investor relations for the period was due to its hiring of more professionals to service public company clients and improve its service quality. The company increased the amount of its advertising to raise its visibility in different cities and languages.
For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2017, the company reported sharp increases in its sales within investor relations, tripling and doubling its revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively. A SeeThruEquity Report on CIIX of March 2017 (http://dtn.fm/SDJ3f) positively noted the gain in CIIX’s high margin investor relations business.
One factor in its higher profile has been the airing of its weekly TV show via Phoenix Television, which broadcasts the program on its Phoenix North America Chinese Channel. This is a popular, subscriber-only media platform aimed at the Chinese-speaking community in the U.S.
