A Successful Crowdfunding Campaign Suggests a Bright Future for BLU3
POMPANO BEACH, FL. (Nov 14, 2018) – Brownie’s Marine Group (OTC: BWMG) subsidiary, BLU3, concluded it’s Kickstarter campaign for NEMO last month at 345% over-funded, with over 350 units pre-ordered.

NEMO pre-orders will launch on the BLU3 website this week to continue the momentum.
Additionally, BLU3’s crowdfunding campaign has helped increase website traffic to over 180k page views, video views to 11M, and newsletter subscribers to 2.6k. BLU3 is in discussion with over 110 potential retailers and distributors across 27 countries. In addition to distribution, the company will launch an affiliate program with over 175 BLU3 ambassadors from around the world.
The company is attending DEMA Show 2018 in Las Vegas from November 14-17th. DEMA Show is the largest trade-only event in the world for companies doing business in the scuba diving, ocean water sports and adventure/dive travel industries.
