In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, the imperative for regulated companies is clear: harness the power of data analytics or risk falling behind.

Failing to gather customer data, or worse, not knowing how to properly utilize it is a critical misstep for businesses in regulated industries like cannabis, CBD, or alcohol. Don’t let your competition outpace you!

There’s a growing need for cannabis and alcohol businesses to expand their data scope beyond basic demographic info — phone numbers, emails, and purchase history — with consumer behavior datasets to provide a more nuanced understanding of customer preferences. Cannabis customer data enrichment or second party data enrichment services can elevate your customer data from merely informative to truly insightful.

Generating a more enhanced view of your consumers allows companies to better target cannabis and alcohol consumers who are actively seeking specific products or services, amplifying the return on investment for advertising campaigns and dramatically enhancing the customer experience.

During the webinar, you will learn:

  • What customer data enrichment is, and why it is important
  • How CRM data enrichment improves customer experiences and real-world use cases you can implement today!
  • How to select and vet data enrichment companies and tips for determining data quality

Learn how to deliver truly exceptional cannabis customer experiences that improve the ROAS of your display, paid search, and SEO campaigns. The modern business environment demands a sophisticated approach to data analytics and customer engagement. Don’t get left behind!

What Is MOF and Why Is It Crucial in Cannabis Marketing?

The middle of the funnel, often referred to as MOF, is a crucial stage in the buyer’s journey and a point where many cannabis businesses fall short. You may have successfully driven traffic to your webpage, but what happens next? What are you offering prospective customers when they land on your site? Is it easy to navigate and make a purchase? How are you nurturing visitors if they leave?

The MOF is where trust is built by establishing deeper relationships with audiences that have shown interest in your brand. This is the essence of a strong MOF cannabis marketing strategy. By ensuring your website easily highlights your products or services, provides trust-building content, and creates a sense of urgency, you can propel visitors to take the next step in their buyer’s journey, boost sales, and keep customers loyal.

In our webinar, Angela Pih, Marketing Innovator / CMO / Brand Storyteller, walks you through high-impact mid-funnel marketing strategies for cannabis businesses. These strategies aim to improve conversion rates, reduce cost per acquisition, and create seamless customer journeys that result in more complete and satisfying customer experiences.

During the webinar, you will learn:

  • How to build deeper relationships with your audience segments and propel them to purchase
  • Top KPIs to track for optimizing your MOF cannabis marketing strategy
  • Where most cannabis businesses fail in what is mid-funnel marketing
  • Advertising tips for retargeting customers who have engaged with your content

Why Is Building Trust Important in Cannabis Mid-Funnel Marketing?

The middle of the funnel is a make-or-break stage for cannabis businesses. It’s not just about driving traffic to your site; it’s about what you do with that traffic once it’s there. From easy navigation to compelling offers, every element should be designed to build trust and guide prospective customers closer to making a purchase.

So, are you ready to transform your mid-funnel marketing strategies and elevate your cannabis business to the next level? Join us!

Can you think of a time you went out on the town and didn’t have a drink in your hand? With the rise in popularity of non-alcoholic beverages and bars, cannabis drinks are poised to shake up the beverage landscape.

Cannabis bev companies have made leaps and bounds in the past few years using nano-emulsification technology to create more consistent dosing and better tasting, fast-acting products.

Non-combustible products will pave the way for newcomers and offer a more socially acceptable way to enjoy the benefits of our favorite plant. After all, it is the fastest-growing product segment. (BDSA noted that cannabis beverages had 64% growth last year and 27% growth quarter over quarter.)

But with only 1% of consumers claiming cannabis drinks as their preferred method of consumption, there is no doubt this product segment has a long yet promising road ahead.

Joined by Ave Miller, Co-Founder of Uncle Arnies, and Rodney Boast, Co-Owner and COO of Ray’s Lemonade, to give the lay of the beverage land and discuss the hurdles this product segment has yet to overcome, how retailers can better support brands, and how startups will hold their ground against big beverage giants. So join us and get an insider view of what it takes to build a cannabis beverage brand and the loyal customer base required to drive revenue.

During the webinar, you will learn about:
• Low dose vs. high dose - what will be successful in the long-term
• Shifting buyer mindsets and consumer education programs
• Why retailers should end the “gas station model” and shift to an authentic retail experience
• Raising $ in the current economic climate

Attention cannabis businesses, have you considered how new research findings about the benefits or potential downsides of cannabis consumption will impact your business strategy, investment opportunities, and product development?

As the cannabis industry continues to grow and evolve, it's crucial for businesses to stay informed and up-to-date with the latest research to succeed. This week we are joined by industry expert and CEO of EndoCanna Health, Len May, to discuss the science of cannabis and how businesses can stay agile with product development and marketing strategies that maintain regulatory compliance as new research findings are released.

Ah, the mystery of cannabis brand loyalty. Have you ever wondered why some people just can’t resist buying their favorite cannabis products over and over again? It’s all about psychology!

The quality of a cannabis brand’s products and services, packaging, and advertising all come together to form a consumer’s perception of the brand. But let’s not forget the emotional connections. Brands that make consumers feel warm and fuzzy inside through their values, personality, or story have a better chance of winning over hearts and minds.

Consistency is key, too. If a brand consistently delivers the goods, consumers are more likely to trust them and keep coming back. And who doesn’t love a positive buying experience? Treat your customers right, and they’ll keep coming back for more. All of these psychological factors combined can make for a pretty powerful brand-loyal following.

This week we are joined by CPG Branding Expert, Consultant, and Author, David Paleschuck as he digs into the psychology behind cannabis branding and how to amplify your brand to engage more customers.

During our 60-minute webinar, you’ll discover:

It's normal for customers to churn in any business, but when you see your retention metrics in a free fall, it's hard not to feel the sting. Stats show that customers who repurchase can account for up to 65% of company revenue, and with new customer acquisition costing five times more than customer retention, it pays to keep your cannabis customers happy.

There are massive opportunities for cannabis businesses to create customer re-engagement experiences that translate into sales. During this week's podcast, we are meeting with Andrew Watson, CEO and Co-Founder at Happy Cabbage Analytics to discuss how to segment and activate your company's first-party data to create full-funnel cannabis customer retention strategies that put more cash into your pocket.

We will cover reactivation, advocacy, deal, and subscription-based re-marketing strategies that integrate programmatic, email, and SMS marketing channels to help you reach and interact with your customers in a personalized and meaningful way.

We are even going a step further and bringing you the data comparison reports for latent customer re-order rates and average order sizes that were captured on four channels: in-store, on cannabis websites, via Weedmaps, and by MediaJel's Programmatic Display Ad campaigns. We'll show you the data behind the channels with the highest recapture rates and increased average order sizes.

During this webinar, we'll cover:

  • Four must-have customer re-engagement strategies that bring high-value customers back through the door.
  • Which KPIs to track and measure with your team, and how to predict cart abandonment
  • See the data: How programmatic display ads crush Weedmaps recapture rates, average order sizes, and order frequency.

Join us and gain deeper insights into your customers so you can leverage first-party data to re-engage high-value cannabis customers and create memorable brand experiences.

Deals encourage customers to buy more from you. If you want to keep your loyal customers coming back time and time again, give them something worth stopping by for!

There are a lot of KPIs to keep track of when running a dispensary. When it comes to customers, you want to know how much it costs to acquire a new customer (customer acquisition costs of CAC) and the lifetime value of a customer.

To maximize these KPIs and get as much value from your advertising as possible, you need to nurture customer relationships to build loyalty.

Now, that’s pretty much the goal of a loyalty program…But too many fail to create any kind of excitement and stall out on enrollment goals.

Watch to learn how to maximize your loyalty program enrollment by leveraging deals.

During our 30-minute webinar, we’ll cover:

  • What rewards are most popular with customers
  • 7 ways to craft enticing deals to encourage loyalty signup
  • How to start creating deals right now

Don’t let your loyalty program go stagnant!

From Ziplock Bags to CPG and eCommerce, cannabis has come a long way in the past decade but is your brand ready for the direct-to-consumer (DTC) cannabis revolution?

Traditionally, selling through retailers has been the easiest option for brands to connect their products with customers. However, with astronomical shelving costs and increased competition, it’s time for brands to reprioritize their sales channels and create brand loyalty with their audiences.

Putting your products directly in front of customers at competitive prices allows your brand to spark meaningful connections and truly own those consumer relationships (and data too!)

If your cannabis brand has attempted to navigate the DTC waters before without success, the time has come to try, try again. The technical infrastructure to support DTC sales and advertising has dramatically improved, and the benefits far outweigh the risks of getting left behind as our cannabis industry professionalizes. But, of course, there will always be benefits and drawbacks to making significant changes in how you sell your products, and we will touch on how you can manage and maintain positive relationships throughout the process.

If you want to know what a go-to-market DTC strategy entails, join Ginger Commerce Founder & CEO Roie Edery for an expert-level discussion outlining everything you need to know to make your DTC launch a wild success.

During our 60-minute webinar, we’ll tackle:

  • What to plan for when considering by-passing traditional distribution/retail store sales models
  • How to stoke consumer demand for your DTC brand
  • Don’t burn dispensary bridges. Learn how to create a win-win DTC strategy that won’t alienate your current sales and distribution channels
  • The omnichannel marketing plan and ad budget you need to have in place to ensure success.

It is game on for cannabis businesses to operate and advertise just like any mainstream regulated brand on the market. But, are you ready?

“Only a crisis – actual or perceived – produces real change” – Milton Friedman
