Weight Watchers Has Slower Growth in Subscribers

Weight Watchers International Inc.’s subscription growth slowed in Q2 2018.

Subscriber growth in the quarter was 27.6%, less than the prior quarter’s 28.6% growth.  This happened even as the fitness/weight management company tried new marketing strategies – such as collaborations with celebrities DJ Khalid, Kevin Smith and Chef Eric Greenspan, and aimed to expand its reach among the youth.  Nevertheless, the firm had an 18% increase in revenue from a year ago, while gross margins rose 430 basis points.

Weight Watchers reportedly wants to focus on short video ads on social networking platforms as its next marketing move.

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

What's the Difference Between Tokens and Altcoins?

Between their inherently technical nature, multiple varieties and sub-varieties, and endless terminology, cryptocurrency (defined here as digital or virtual currencies that are encrypted using cryptography, powered by the immutable digital ledger known as the blockchain) represents a whole, complex world.All altcoins possess their own blockchain, independent from their source code, that records all transactions of their native coins. Many altcoins are variants, or forks, of Bitcoin that leverage that cryptocurrency’s open-source protocol as the basis.

4 Ways to Save for Retirement Without a 401(k)

401(k) plans are attractive savings options for good reasons: tax breaks, potential employer matching, and access to growth investments.Roth IRA contributions are made in after-tax dollars, and withdrawals for account owners age 59 ½ or older are tax free (if the account is at least five years old). Investors with an individual adjusted gross income below $32,000 can even claim between 10 and 50 percent of contributions as a saver’s tax credit.
