Driven's Growth Continuing to Break Records

LOS ANGELES, April 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven Deliveries Inc. (the "Company" or Driven) (OTCQB: DRVD), California's fastest growing online cannabis retailer and direct-to-consumer logistics company, announced today several achievements surrounding financial and operational performance.    

Ahead of releasing the 2019 Form-10K, delayed due to restrictions from the COVID-19 outbreak, Driven announced it has successfully completed its operational and technical integration of it three acquired businesses: Ganjarunner, Mountain High and Budee.

The integration and automation of information made it possible for the company to continue its revenue growth seen in Q4. Recently, the company announced its sales increased by almost 73% over the previous 30 days and increased its customer acquisition by more than 96% over the same period. This was accomplished without adding additional cost to the operation. 

Noteworthy Q1 & QTD  Accomplishments Include:

• The company is currently projecting record online retail sales results in April and is on pace to exceed $1,600,000 in delivery revenue.
• Weekly sales continue to climb after a spike seen in mid-March. Week-over-week sales have increased by an average of 9.43% per week over the last 4 weeks.
• Consolidated new customer acquisitions accounted for 16% of March orders. The trend continues as April is already outpacing March.
• New customer acquisition costs (COA) were down again to $11.02 from just over $14 reported in Q4 2019 and forecasted to hit single digits before the end of the quarter.
• Average Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) decreased to $643 as a result of merging the high volume Budee customer base into the calculation.
• Average cost per delivery was reduced by 19% as a result of increased volume in existing markets and the consolidation into a single fleet operation.
• Average order value decreased to $94.82 as a result of the company eliminating its minimum order requirements to make delivery more affordable during the stay-in-place order.
• On-time order delivery percentage improved to 82% with less than a 2% failed "first attempt" delivery rate.
• Vendor funded promotional sales topped $360,000 in March alone accounting for almost 20% of retail sales transactions.
• Organic marketing efforts now account for 54% of all new customer acquisitions, which was a major factor in the reduced COA. Further reductions in paid placement advertising are forecasted through Q2 as the company continues to leverage its Weedwaves platform and other in-house content marketing to drive customer acquisition efforts.
• Promotions associated with the company's 4/20 campaigns have already represented $74,000 in incremental revenue with the strongest promotions still ahead.
