- Fan base reaches 359,000 with an addition of 114,000 in the quarter -
VANCOUVER, Oct. 14, 2015 /CNW/ - HIT Technologies Inc. (TSXV:HIT) ("HIT" or the "Company"), designs, develops, manufactures and distributes the world's most advanced adventure products for iPhone, today announced that it exited Q1 fiscal 2016 with an online fan base of 359,000, up approximately 50%, or 114,000, from the end of Q4 fiscal 2015.
"Building our fan base is a key element of our long-term growth strategy, and we continue to deliver," said Brooks Bergreen, CEO of HIT Technologies. "At 359,000, our online fan base has grown significantly from 245,000 at the end of fiscal 2015 and exponentially from 20,000 since January 2015."
To promote its product suite, The Company has participated in a number of events, including the Red Bull Thre3Style World DJ Championships in Tokyo, New York Fashion Week, North America's premier powersports distributor, Motovan's, Dealer Expo 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, as well as the Knowshow retailer show in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A core component of the Company's brand building strategy is to align with athletes that epitomize HIT's "ready for adventure" brand attitude. HIT recently resigned surfer Ian Walsh and award winning Mountain bike freerider Brandon Semenuk, and was a title sponsor for freeskier Sean Pettit's award winning film, The Masquerade.
Bergreen added: "Our continued strategic efforts to build brand awareness are paying off. We have established a brand that is synonymous with adventure and creativity, and it is clearly resonating in the market. The bigger our online base gets, the larger the opportunity is to convert our fans into loyal HITCASE customers."
