Investors constantly seek factors that could influence price fluctuations. One significant factor that frequently affects stock prices is information updates. Favorable news can occasionally have the potential to cause stocks to surge in value.
Let's direct our attention to four foreign-listed companies trading on the OTC F-List. This sector might not receive as much attention, but it holds the promise of offering intriguing prospects for investors who closely monitor it.
Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTC: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR)
Sekur Private Data is a leading cybersecurity company dedicated to enhancing digital security and privacy through its innovative solutions. SWISF's recent achievements in August 2023 demonstrate its commitment to excellence in the realm of digital security.
One of the standout accomplishments is the company's remarkable reduction in Customer Acquisition costs (CAC). In August 2023, SWISF achieved a CAC of just US$26 per customer, surpassing its 2023 target CAC by an impressive 65%. This achievement underscores Sekur's dedication to cost-effective growth and its ability to attract customers efficiently.
Sekur has not only reduced CAC but also enhanced the value it offers to users. The average revenue per user (ARPU) has seen a substantial increase, now standing at US$8.75, marking a significant 3.4% growth compared to July 2023. This boost in spending per subscriber is attributed to the revamped Sekur website, which offers bundled solutions, providing users with even more compelling reasons to engage with the platform.
Sekur has maintained a consistent growth trajectory, with a remarkable 24% month-over-month increase in average spending per customer since July 2023, reaching US$14.97. This metric encompasses all expenses for users registered under a specific customer, such as families, small businesses, or enterprises. As the company gears up to launch new offerings like SekurVoice for encrypted voice calls and SekurPRO for secure video conferencing in Q1 2024, SWISF anticipates further growth in spending per customer and user.
The heart of Sekur's strategy lies in reducing CAC through targeted digital marketing initiatives, including campaigns on platforms such as Google Ads and META. SWISF is committed to enhancing website content and SEO efforts, which play a pivotal role in its success. With the goal of achieving 100,000 monthly website visits and a conversion rate exceeding 2.5%, Sekur aims to lower CAC to an impressive US$4.
Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, expressed satisfaction with the company's CAC reduction achievements. He stated, "We are very happy to be ahead of our plans for our CAC reduction. Right now, if we count the money we are spending on digital marketing, and the organic growth from the SEO efforts, we are tracking a CAC of US$26 as of August 2023. This is the 3rd month of us achieving a CAC of well under US$50. All metrics, from ARPU to monthly sales, are increasing month over month as well. As we increase spending on digital media, we expect to increase our user base, and our organic traffic and SEO are also contributing to this lowering of the CAC."
Sekur has introduced SekurVPN and customizable bundles for consumers and businesses, a strategic move that has proven highly successful. Approximately 50% of customers now opt for bundles, and 32% choose SekurVPN either within a bundle or as a standalone service.
In summary, Sekur Private Data Ltd. continues to shine in the cybersecurity landscape. Its impressive CAC reduction, ARPU increase, and expanding product portfolio position the company for sustained growth and success in the realm of digital security. These achievements underscore Sekur's commitment to providing comprehensive and secure communication solutions for individuals and businesses alike.
