🚨 CALL TO #POPULIST ACTION! 🚨 Are you in #Connecticut? Do you want to be part of history? Record yourself on video walking into any regulated #cannabis dispensary before January 1st, 2024. Make sure the recording includes a complete point of sale transaction of you buying a high-THC hemp product (say a drink or a pill for example), and that the product label shows that it was manufactured outside of Connecticut. Make sure that there's something in the video that proves you did this during 2023. Bonus points if, after the sale is complete, you ask the cashier why the transaction that just took place is recorded in a separate point of sale system, with separate record keeping apart from BioTrack. Extra bonus points if the producer of the product you purchase has a name comprised of a four-digit number. Godspeed, friends.

Another reminder for my fellow software providers that service cannabis retailers. VISIT YOUR CUSTOMERS. Every time we visit one of our customers we're learning something brand new. Earlier this fall we visited Farnsworth Fine Cannabis Company in Great Barrington. Some observations: 1. The staff was in such a great mood, which put us in a great mood. 2. My budtender was on day 3 on the job and it felt like he opened the place from day 1. He knew most of the brands I asked about and the one he didn't know? He asked a fellow budtender to help him out and my questions were answered quickly. 3. I was given an honest answer about a product that I wanted to try, that the budtender also tried and did not like. He was very respectful about it but I appreciated the departure from the standard "it's pretty good" nonsense. So what did we learn? Product knowledge is one of the main differentiators for budtenders. And retailers that focus their trainings not just on SOPs, but on product knowledge, end up with better budtenders. So we're now asking out customers and ourselves, how can our tools assist in this effort? Note: Farnsworth Fine Cannabis Company uses Lit Alerts and CannaVersions to boost sales and customer retention. #cannabiseducation #cannabisretail #cannabismarketing #eastcoastcannabis

Here’s The Wake Up Call: Dispensary Short-Term Greed Is Costing Long-Term Success ❌ Don’t ever listen to someone telling you to wrap low-quality products in expensive packaging, even if it means you can double the price. ❌ Don’t ever listen to someone telling you to focus on prospects over remarketing to your consistent customer base. Short-sighted strategies spell disaster for your reputation and long-term growth. They damage your brand, hurt your revenue, and kill your profitability. 👉 That quick $10 you made on a seedy preroll in fancy packaging will never come close to the lifetime value of a customer who trusts in your brand’s integrity. 👉 That focus on the “new” customer has limits - cannabis isn’t dealing in nationwide markets. We’re dealing in neighborhoods. There are only so many new people. 👉 That decision to take your existing customers for granted means they don’t return, and you continue to throw money into Weedmaps in the hopes that you might break even. Customer lifetime value means more now than ever. Actually, the future of your dispensary depends on it. #MediaJel #cannabis #dispensary #cannabiscustomers #remarketing #cannabispackaging #customerlifetimevalue #CLV

A note on writing case studies... It's not about your product, it's about your CUSTOMER! Tell their success story. If your product is solid, it'll be infused in the narrative organically. I spoke with Rich Rainone, Co-Founder at Dazed Cannabis, and this concept really clicked. He had valuable expertise and a unique perspective the cannabis industry needed to hear. So I did my best to capture it. Check out the story on Flowhub's site at the link below. It's one of my favorites! https://lnkd.in/dScPBeKB #cannabis #dispensary #casestudies

If you could choose your dream job what would it be? I have this vivid dream that's been on my mind for a very long time. It's not just a fleeting thought; it's a deep-seated desire that's been brewing, even before the winds started to change in Germany regarding cannabis. Here's the heart of my dream: opening a chain of stores across South Germany, but these aren't just any stores. They're vibrant hubs, pulsating with the lifeblood of cannabis culture, inspired by and partnered with Royal Queen Seeds. Why them? Because they're legends in the field. They've weathered storms, stood by their passion for cannabis through thick and thin, and emerged as beacons for enthusiasts and growers alike. Their dedication to quality, education, and community resonates deeply with me, and that's the spirit I want to infuse into my stores. These places I dream of creating wouldn't just be commercial spaces; they'd be sanctuaries for education, appreciation, and the celebration of cannabis. A place where newcomers and aficionados alike can come together, learn about the nuances of growing, the art of breeding, and the sheer joy of sharing experiences and strains. Each store would be a testament to the journey of cannabis, from seed to sensation, echoing the ethos of Royal Queen Seeds at every turn. It's a dream that stretches the boundaries of what's possible, sure. But isn't there something thrilling about reaching for what seems just beyond our grasp? That's where the magic happens. So, that's my vision, laid bare. Opening a series of stores that are more than just retail spaces—they're cultural landmarks, built in partnership with Royal Queen Seeds, to nurture and grow the cannabis community here in the heart of Europe. I’m still very much open to other opportunities inside the cannabis industry. This is just my dream job if I had no restrictions. What is your ideal dream job if you could do anything? Or are you already doing it? #cannabiscommunity #RoyalQueenSeeds #cannabisculture #growyourown #cannabisseeds #seedbank #highqualitycannabis #cannabisenthusiasts #cannabiseducation #cannabisretail #cannabislifestyle #growshop #cannabisinnovation #cannabisstore #cannabisknowledge #cannabisadvocacy #homegrown #cannabislove #cannabisbreeding #cannabisgermany #sustainablecannabis #cannabisconnoisseur #cannabiscollection #cannabisrevolution #plantmedicine #herbalmedicine #cannabiscommunitygermany #cannabisbusiness #cannabiscultivation #royalqueenseeds Maxence Majot
