We create S.M.A.R.T. marketing goals. These goals will be subdivided according to the promotional channels and market segments. You will use these goals to evaluate your performance at the end of the stated period.
Marketing Mix
The marketing mix is the first document we create to determine what you will be marketing, how you will be marketing it, and where you will be marketing it. These are called the four Ps of marketing, broken down as follows:
01. PRODUCT
We determine the cannabis products you are selling, their physical features, and their packaging.
02. PRICE
We look at the price and even compare it with other products on the market.
03. PLACE
Where do you intend to sell, or are you already marketing the products?

We use the information to determine what products should be sold and where and how you will reach your customers. We lay out the information so that you can use it in the formulation of the digital marketing strategy.
Target, Segment, & Position
Targeting, segmentation, and positioning are the components of delivering personalized messages that are more relevant to the target audience. You do not just publish content at whim but follow a methodical process so that content resonates with target buyers. Our team does the following to guarantee the success of this component:
We identify the best target audience for the product by creating buyer personas and conducting market research. If the products are already on the market, we can interview the current market to determine their thoughts about your product. Then, we target a segment of the buyers most likely to buy from you through various qualification features.
After identifying the most probable target market, we then position the product in the market relative to other brands. In this case, we determine what you do better than the competition and capitalize on it when creating and executing the strategic marketing plan.
Competitive Analysis
Knowing what the competition is doing is vital to creating an effective marketing strategy. Otherwise, the competition will likely outwit you into attracting your target audience to buy their goods and services. Besides, you will not be able to differentiate yourself from the competition. Therefore, the intended audience may buy from the competition.
Our team evaluates the market for you to determine who the main competitors are, what they sell, and how their products differ from what you are selling. This helps in differentiating your products, promotions, and pricing. We also monitor and anticipate their movements in the marketplace to help formulate your counterstrategies.
IDENTIFYING YOUR CANNABIS MARKETING STRATEGY’S TARGET AUDIENCE
Cannabis Audiences are divided into the following 4 categories
Cultivation Product & Services
Cultivation Products and services could be things such as fertigation, irrigation, nutrients, facility design, greenhouse components, and lighting.
Processing, Packaging, & Lab Services
Processing, packaging, and lab services require highly qualified companies to help you prepare products ready to sell. Some examples such as distillation, extraction, flavors, automation, packaging or testing, and lab equipment would be examples of processing, packaging, and lab services.
Retail & Dispensary
Business to consumers can be difficult if you don’t understand federal laws or regulations. Retail dispensaries will be looking for knowledgeable teams to help guide them and help them attack business with their messaging, branding, and pricing. Top brands, high-THC flowers, infused products, CBD, and paraphernalia, must be carefully marketed for the retail industry.
Business Services
Critical products and services for all aspects of the cannabis business, including cannabis-specific point of sale and inventory control software, the latest technology, security, HR and staffing, marketing, consulting, banking, private equity and investing, accounting, real estate, insurance, government and industry associations are things that would be considered business service.
