Cannabis Dispensary Challenges

Cannabis Dispensary Challenges

Surrounded by discount-happy retailers? Wishing you had a dedicated marketing team?

As more states open their borders to medical marijuana and legalize recreational cannabis, increased dispensary competition comes with it.

Whether you were an early arriver with a head start or cut the ribbon on your front door last week, you need a dispensary marketing plan to capture consumer awareness and translate interest into more people spending more money with you.

Cannabis Dispensary Challenges

Cannabis Dispensary Challenges

When every state acts as its own country with a set of rules and regulations, region-to-region compliance is a moving target for MSO cannabis companies.

First, you have to understand each community because every state and region is different. With that foundational understanding, your brand will connect, build trust, and generate excitement about products. 

MediaJel tailors our stack of marketing solutions to help each dispensary overcome their pressing obstacles and thrive in their distinct market.

280e

IRS 280E has still not been removed, even with state regulators aggressively asking for relief.

The current regulation prevents brands and dispensaries from claiming standard deductions, like marketing write-offs, resulting in higher taxes and making it tough to invest in marketing channels to grow your business.

So, here’s free money: Get access to funds for cannabis ad and marketing expenses. Apply for MediaJel Capital Funding.

280E
Discounting Into The Ground

Dispensaries are combating short-sighted competitors who don't understand their margins and drag the local market down to retain customers. 

Customer retention shouldn't be contingent on discounts - your customer service, selection, and exclusive products must rise to the top.

Discounting Into The Ground
Third-Party Platforms like Weedmaps

Over-reliance on third-party cannabis platforms means giving away customers, search rankings, and competitive advantage to rent the results.

Third-party platforms created an ecosystem that devalues relationships with consumers by prioritizing discount shoppers and rewarding dispensaries with the lowest price or biggest ad budget.

Third Party Cannabis
Needing Immediate Return On Ad Spend

With razor-thin margins, dispensaries often need an immediate return on ad spend (ROAS) to stay afloat. 

The risk of targeting short-term returns without understanding customer lifetime value (CLV) and customer acquisition costs (CAC) is that dispensaries miss out on future revenue from a consistent, long-term plan.

Word roas written on it.
Limited In-House Marketing Resources

Dispensary operators must wear many hats, meaning they don't have internal access to media buyers to launch and optimize campaigns. 

Without marketing experts to assist with digital strategies, dispensaries risk penalties and fees due to non-compliance with state regulations.
