    Unlocking Competitive Advantage Through Data Analytics and Customer Data Enrichment With Matt Taverna

    Unlocking Competitive Advantage Through Data Analytics and Customer Data Enrichment With Matt Taverna

    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!

    High Impact Mid-Funnel Marketing Tactics For Cannabis ECommerce Brands with Angela Pih

    High Impact Mid-Funnel Marketing Tactics For Cannabis ECommerce Brands with Angela Pih

    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!

    Bubbles and a Buzz: The Business of Cannabis Beverages with Ave Miller of Uncle Arnie’s and Rodney Boast of Ray’s Lemonade

    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

    The Psychology Behind Developing Brand Loyalty in Cannabis Marketing With David Paleschuck

    The Psychology Behind Developing Brand Loyalty in Cannabis Marketing With David Paleschuck

    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:

    • Consumer need states and consumption rituals you need to understand
    • Why consumers align with brands and how that can evolve over time

    4 Must Have Retail Strategies For Cannabis Consumption Lounges with Maha Haq

    Cannabis consumption lounges are popping up all over the USA, not only providing a safe, fun environment to light up in but normalizing cannabis use across the nation. It’s about time!

    Running a consumption lounge has similarities to operating F&B business and there are a few nuances that you will want to prepare for, like equipment rentals, clean up, ensuring customers aren’t over served, and even putting on live events. 

    Not every license operates the same though, some consumption spaces are BYOW, some sell products, others are hotels with smoking friendly rooms. During this webinar we will dive into the retail strategies lounges must consider with current licensing plus a glimpse into what the future holds for normalizing mainstream cannabis use and how public spaces can be transformed to make space for safe consumption.

    Joined by cannabis consumption lounge expert Maha Haq will walk us through retail mixes, budtender training, expansion strategies, compliance, and in-store and eCommerce buyer journey experiences.

    During the webinar you will discover: 

    • How retail and product assortment strategies differ between dispensaries and consumption lounges
    • Putting together a winning consumption lounge team: Budtender and server education programs
    • The restrictions you need to prepare for, and what NOT to do when opening your lounge doors.
    • How cannabis brand products must evolve to be served at a consumption lounge.
