WAYNE, PA--(Marketwired - Dec 6, 2016) - ICTV Brands, Inc. (
E-commerce is a key component of ICTV Brand's omni-channel strategy to become a dominant and uniquely positioned consumer product platform company. Throughout 2016, the company has worked diligently to establish e-commerce relationships beyond Amazon and Bed, Bath & Beyond with additional top retailers in North America. These include Kohl's, Costco Canada, Walmart, JCPenny and CVS. During the recent Thanksgiving holiday sales period, these relationships delivered strong year-over-year results for the company driving 750 units sold for the week of Thanksgiving compared to 276 units sold the previous year. Walmart in particular selected DermaWand out of thousands of beauty products to be showcased on their Black Friday shelf. DermaWand continued this momentum through Cyber Monday with some retailers reporting over 100 units sold on that day alone.
These e-commerce retail sales were supplementary to the direct to consumer sales driven through DermaWand.com. As a result, the team's digitally focused strategy not only increased sales through retail partners but it also more than doubled the direct to consumer sales for the week of Thanksgiving, compared to last year.
Richard Ransom, President of ICTV Brands, stated, "We are extremely happy with the early holiday sales data and the expanded retail reach DermaWand has achieved this year. Breaking into retail was necessary to further build the strong DermaWand brand and as a result, November has been the most profitable month for North America sales in over 2 years. Over the longer term, we expect these retail relationships to play an important role in the company's platform growth strategy, as scalable distribution partners for ICTV Brands' growing portfolio of licensed or proprietary consumer products."
