(OTCQX:BLEVF

Beleave,
Inc
engaged
Equi&es
in
April
of
2016
to
solidify
their
digital
footprint.
The
goals
were
to
use
Equi&es’
research-‐driven
content
and
distribu&on
network
to
target,
track,
and
deliver
relevant
interested
investors
to
the
Beleave
story.
As
Beleave
released
public
news,
the
Equi&es
content
team
generated
fresh
editorial
pieces
highligh&ng
the
most
relevant
data
points
with
support
from
Beleave’s
execu&ves
using
interviews
with
client
services
and
our
writers.
We
posi&oned
Beleave
on
the
Equi&es’
homepage
and
throughout
the
site
highligh&ng
their
story
on
their
&cker
page.
The
company’s
profile
became
the
center
of
a[en&on.
We
delivered
Beleave
interested
investors
and
liquidity.
While
the
Equi&es’
value
proposi&on
focuses
on
delivering
qualified
relevant
investors
to
a
company’s
story,
we
do
measure
success
based
on
increased
liquidity.
Of
course,
liquidity
is
a
result
of
numerous
variables
in
the
market,
but
according
to
our
research
we
have
seen
similar
results
across
our
clients.
We
also
no&ce
a
hedge,
derived
from
the
expansion
of
the
shareholder
base,
that
creates
more
liquidity
and
therefore
lessens
vola&lity
in
these
thinly-‐traded
markets.

5. Volume
and
Traffic
Results
and
Analysis
This
analysis
starts
from
July
2016
and
con&nues
un&l
May
2017.
In
July
2016,
Beleave,
Inc
had
a
market
cap
of
about
$13,088,053
USD,
a
price
of
$.45,
and
a
30
day
average
volume
of
9,300
shares
per
day.
Beleave
started
leveraging
Equi&es
in
April
2016
when
they
signed
on
for
the
Extended
Visibility
Package.
One
of
the
key
KPIs
is
number
of
reads,
and
longer
&me-‐-‐-‐on-‐-‐-‐site
(TOS)
infers
that
investors
are
more
engaged
in
content.
As
a
result,
TOS
is
a
more
potent
measurement
for
engagment.
Powered
by
the
Equi&es.com
brand,
investors
spent
an
average
&me
of
site
at
2:28
minutes,
a
significant
increase
vs.
the
compe&&on.
Because
Beleave
u&lized
Equi&es
to
deliver
their
story,
the
company
saw
an
increase
in
price
reflected
through
volume
and
increased
shareholder
base.
They
received
the
benefits
of
reduced
vola&lity
companies
don’t
normally
see
in
the
micro-‐-‐-‐cap
markets.
Equi&es’
credibility
a[racts
investors,
and
it’s
our
philosophy
in
consistency
that
steadies
the
increases
over
&me.
In
other
words,
liquidity
begets
liquidity,
and
vola&lity
is
reduced
due
to
the
increase
in
“buy
and
hold”
shareholders.
In
Beleave’s
case,
we
saw
a
combina&on
of
solid
management
on
their
part,
and
the
ability
to
expose
their
story
and
leverage
their
public
securi&es
in
the
most
cost
effec&ve
way
possible.
