I know a lot of people in the cannabis space are from agriculture and finance and don't know much about marketing and advertising, and I actually like that a lot of the time. But it has been difficult to explain to a lot of our clients what a co-op ad is. And that's too bad, because a co-op ad means free advertising for a lot of you.

It’s a sad day for the CO cannabis market. 1906 is one of the best branding case studies in our industry. They have created an intuitive product line customers can understand regardless of their knowledge level of cannabis. While we were talking terpenes, they were focusing on effects and positioning products in a way that solved consumers problems. “Can’t sleep? Here’s an infographic on why indica and sativa are not accurate!” - Most #cannabismarketing 🤷🏻♀️ “Sleep: A highly targeted blend of sleep-inducing cannabinoids to promote a deeper and more restful sleep.” - 1906 🤝💸 #branding #marketing #cannabisbusiness

Yesterday, a group of cannabis retailers and licensed producers (including yours truly) participated in the Alberta Cannabis Lobby Day, where we advocated for changes in the cannabis industry. To legislators, we emphasized the need to reduce or eliminate the Alberta Excise Tax, promote a national digital excise duty stamp, revise regulations for direct relationships, and showcase the Alberta Advantage. On the regulatory front, calls were made to reduce the Alberta Wholesaler Markup Tax, eliminate the Cannabis Representative Registration requirement, and establish industry standards for SKU selection and the selling process. Token lobbied alongside Diplomat Consulting, High Tide Inc., Alberta Chambers of Commerce, AQIC - Association québécoise de l'industrie du chanvre et du cannabis, Independent Retail Cannabis Collective, SNDL Inc. , Nova Cannabis Inc., ZELCA, Plantlife Cannabis, Organigram Inc, Cronos Group, FivePoint Cannabis, Stewart Farms, and Pure Sunfarms. What changes are you hoping to see in the cannabis industry? Let us know! #CannabisIndustry #Advocacy #TokenNaturals
