Jane Technologies, Inc.’s Post

What’s “in-store” for cannabis? Increasing “online only” shoppers. And since they spend +15.9% / order that's good news. What's clear is this ... ... online is growing and in-store is slowing. Here’s why that matters. **Revenues Go Up** Imagine adding 16% more cash for every in-store order. That money quickly adds up. This only one of the benefits of increasing online orders and moving in-store shoppers online. **Retail Speeds Up** Online orders reduce: wait times, lines, and the amount of human capital required to service customers. But more importantly … **Satisfaction Goes Up** Simpler and quicker fulfillment of online orders frees team members to invest more quality time with those in-store shoppers that love in-store shopping. The result? Happier customers and maybe larger orders. Whether you use Dutchie or Jane Technologies, Inc. the time to up your online game is now. Cannabis shoppers have finally found the internet. #cannabismarketing #cannabisindustry #cannabisbusiness #cannabis #cannabisretail #cannabistech #cannabisinnovation #cannabiz #dispensaries #dispensary #dispensaries #dispensarymarketing

What’s “in-store” for cannabis? Increasing “online only” shoppers. And since they spend +15.9% / order that's good news. What's clear is this ... Online is growing and in-store is slowing. Evidently cannabis shoppers finally found the internet. Over the last 9 years I've had a handful of clients in the cannabis industry and amassed a ton of data. While the observations seen in the data may not be true for all, it certainly appears true and interesting for those I've been lucky enough to work with. Here’s why this matters for dispensaries. **Revenues Go Up** How much money do you make from in-store orders? Now imagine adding another 16% more cash on top. The opportunity cost of not focusing growing on online orders is large. **Retail Speeds Up** Online orders reduce: wait times, lines, and the amount of human capital required to service customers. But more importantly … **Satisfaction Goes Up** Simpler and quicker fulfillment of online orders frees team members to invest more quality time with those in-store shoppers that love in-store shopping. The result? Happier customers and maybe larger orders. Whether you use Dutchie or Jane Technologies, Inc. the time to up your online game is now. And an easy way to do that is by checking out Dovetail Smart Blocks. But admittedly, I'm biased. #cannabismarketing #cannabisindustry #cannabisbusiness #cannabis #cannabisretail #cannabistech #cannabisinnovation #cannabiz #dispensaries #dispensary #dispensaries #dispensarymarketing

Today was a very special day. Before I delve into SampleDirect, I want to address something you may have noticed: if you've ever received an email from me (and if I've done my job right, you probably have), it's from @clearleaf.co. Clearleaf isn't just the brains behind our service Buddi; it was always meant to create further innovations in the cannabis market. And today, we've hit a milestone with the launch of our second product into beta: SampleDirect. SampleDirect addresses several significant pain points we identified in the industry: 1. Improved dissemination of product information from brands to retailers. 2. Enhanced visibility for retailers regarding upcoming product releases. 3. Empowering retailers with a "try before you buy" option, and "try your own supply" product education tool. 4. A scalable, centralized platform for brands to seamlessly connect with retailers, providing high-quality product information and improving product education to boost sales. This beta launch signifies our commitment to bringing this platform to market, gathering feedback from customers (both brands and retailers), and developing what adds the most value for everyone involved. It won't be perfect right away, but we're 'moving fast and breaking things' to get to the right answers quickly and deliver something that brands and retailers will love. Lastly, I want to extend a shoutout to our partners in this venture: Christopher Violas at Greenline, a BLAZE® company; Gary Cohen at Cova Software; and Amir Ahani at TechPOS. While there are many others I could name, it's fantastic to collaborate with teams that are dedicated to the success of this industry and still to this day, almost six years after legalization, are building new products and services to help businesses succeed. Excited for what's to come!

🌟🍃 💡💰 5 Essential Tips for Elevating Your Cannabis Dispensary In the ever-evolving world of the cannabis industry, standing out and staying ahead isn't just about having quality products; it's about mastering the art of business in a field that's as dynamic as it is regulated. 🌱📈 Stay Compliant, Stay Cool: Navigating the regulatory jungle is tricky, but you can pull it off.

Educate to Elevate: Knowledge is power 💡, and in the cannabis industry, it's also a form of customer service. Educate your staff thoroughly about the products you're selling—from the differences between sativa, indica, and hybrid strains to the latest in edibles, tinctures, and topicals 🍪🍬🌿. An informed staff can provide customers with valuable advice, enhancing their shopping experience and building loyalty ❤️🛍️. Master the Art of Inventory Management: With great power comes great responsibility, and in this case, the power is your inventory 👑📦.

This isn't just about knowing your bestsellers; it's about maximizing profits and minimizing loss 💸🔄. Build a Buzz with Branding and Marketing: In a sea of green, you want your dispensary to be the brightest leaf 🍃💡.

Just remember, marketing in this industry requires creativity due to advertising restrictions, so think outside the box 🎈🚫. Prioritize Customer Experience: From the moment customers walk in or visit your website, their experience should be as smooth as a well-rolled joint 🚪💨. This means having an inviting atmosphere, a user-friendly online shopping platform, and stellar customer service 🛒💖. Loyalty programs, personalized shopping experiences, and after-sale support can turn first-time visitors into regulars 💳🔄. It's about creating a vibe that makes customers feel like they're not just buying a product; they're joining a community 🤗🌎.

Predicting the future can be a tricky task, especially in an ever-evolving industry like cannabis. However, since everyone has been prognosticating on trends to watch in 2024 I thought I'd give it a go. 2024 trends to watch for in cannabis customer loyalty programs: 1. **Paid memberships:** As the cannabis market matures, customers will be looking for an elevated and differentiated experience. This could include perks like exclusive product previews, members-only events, free delivery, express pickup or anything that your most loyal customers would value enough to pay for a membership. Plus, it creates an additional revenue stream. 2. **Packaging will be leveraged:** With the rise of DTC sales, the unboxing experience will play a bigger role than it already does. Packaging can be used to drive loyalty by incorporating QR codes that link to product instructions, tutorials, giveaways, videos, promotional codes for online merchandise or future orders. 3. **Personalized rewards:** One size does not fit all when it comes to customer rewards. To help stand out saavy cannabis retailers will provide choices so customers so they can select what resonates most with them. Whether it's a discount on their favorite product, early access to new strains, or exclusive merchandise, the ability to choose makes the reward more valuable. 4. **Redemption will be simplified:** Smart ecommerce, loyalty and POS providers will improve integrations to make it as easy as possible for your customers to redeem their rewards both online and in-store. The less friction, the better. 5. **Supporting social causes:** More and more, customers want to support businesses that align with their values, and cannabis is no different. Forward-thinking companies with well-defined brands will form alliances with like-minded causes and allow customers to donate their reward points to the charity. This not only benefits a good cause but also strengthens the connection between brands and customers. 6. **Strategic partnerships:** By partnering with complementary businesses, brands will broaden the loyalty rewards options for customers. Imagine offering sports game tickets, access to a consumption lounge, or discounts at local eateries. These unique rewards will set you apart from the competition and further drive customer loyalty. Yes? No? Maybe? Let's hear it in the comments. 👇
