Pricing and promotion in the retail business may seem closely linked but are fundamentally different. Understanding the intention behind a promotion across the organization is a critical yet often overlooked element in the cannabis industry. Using pricing as a tool to drive sales can have unintended consequences.  For example, if a customer typically purchases one product every 30 days but buys two products when offered at a lower price, they might not return for 60 days.  Did leveraging the price as a tool for additional sales work as intended? This week, we dive into the intricacies of cannabis retail, exploring all components of the system to understand what is needed to achieve profitability. Join us as Krista Raymer discusses how to put the pieces of the puzzle together for a successful retail strategy, covering topics such as:The difference between pricing and promotionInternal alignment on promotional strategiesThe potential pitfalls of using price to drive salesStrategy for long-term profitability in cannabis retailAbout Vetrina Group Create Cannabis Retail Experts.

Krista Raymer: Pricing, Promotion & Strategy Tips for Profitable Cannabis Retail

Synthesis, a process that may sound complex, is actually quite common in our daily lives. From the production of everyday items like Advil, organic milk, citric acid, to the creation of vitamins A and D, and multivitamins, synthesis is a key player. Why does this realization often provoke a negative reaction?  Perhaps it's because there's a desire for clean, safe, and consistent natural products, especially when they originate from plants. Surprisingly, synthesis enhances our ability to deliver such products.
