THE TOP 3 REASONS
Business Owners Struggle With Marketing

Marketing cannabis is a marathon, not a sprint.

NOT ESTABLISHING CLEAR GOALS
Establishing clear, challenging yet attainable goals puts you in the driver’s seat.
It causes you to get focused and aware when you steer off track. Goals give you the what so you can focus on the how.

INFORMATION OVERLOAD
Information overload becomes a HUGE problem as it creates monstrous frustration, overwhelm, confusion and loss of time and money. We are collecting bits and pieces of the marketing puzzle not knowing how to put it together, or in what order.

LACK OF FRAMEWORKS
In any of life’s pursuits, with the exception of starting and marketing a business, there are very well defined and proven frameworks or “conceptual structures to guide the building of something.” This is why online marketing can be so hard.

There’s a lot of planning and strategy that goes into building a successful online presence, visual brand, marketing collateral and marketing campaign. Just remember that marketing and growing your business is a marathon, not a sprint.


Take A Good Look At How Your Cannabis Business Appears

IS YOUR MARKETING AIMED TOWARDS THE CORRECT TARGET?

Unbeknownst to many business owners, potential customers are being redirected to their competitors. This is sometimes due to the fact that they are either unaware or ignoring how their business appears to their target market. Depending on their current appearance, the business could actually be reinforcing old negative stoner stereotypes or reefer madness type stigma, turning the new market elsewhere.

In order to stand out in the marketplace, it’s imperative that a brand is reflected throughout the entire business along with every aspect of their marketing materials. If they currently lack a brand identity, then their audience is already defining it for them. And if the visual conveyed does not match their message and values, the outcome will only disappoint, confuse and alienate the intended audience.

But more then ever, today’s serious entrepreneur needs to be certain that they project a professional brand and compelling message within their marketing strategy.

Visual brands directly and subliminally communicate a businesses’ values and personality through compelling imagery and design style.

An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in a increasingly competitive cannabis market. Branding aims to establish a significant and differentiated presence in the market that attracts and retains loyal customers.

So the big question for you may be...
