Good opportunities

In my opinion, some of the behind-the-scenes magicians in the #cannabis industry are the team members responsible for assortment planning. This team ensures our stores have the right assortment, in the right locations, at the right time to meet the needs of patients and customers. For many retailers, the "right inventory, right place, right time" equation is often the difference between maximizing sales and missing opportunities. In the cannabis industry, this role is still evolving, and many businesses are still figuring out the best ways to implement an assortment architecture, a localized product mix, and an appropriate inventory allocation strategy. One of my passions, and a key focus in my discussions with tech leaders throughout the industry, is refining the assortment planning process to better meet market demand and enhance customer experiences. This is not a journey for the faint of heart, but I'm fortunate to work with some of the best in the industry to continue positive change! #retail #sales #wholesale #marketing #technology #management #socialmedia #digitalmarketing #finance #humanresources #hiring #inspiration #motivation #recruiting iAnthus Patrick Scatamacchia Tony Metricarti Erin Kijanka Brad Kotansky Matthew Taber Kaelan Donadio Kennedy Sulton Wesley Donahoe Alex Carll Victor Hernandez Laura Potter Andrew Plante Justin Vu, CPA Dylan Collins John Wagner Erin McCarthy Kevin Reimer Cassie Kilmartin David Applebaum Anna Quaranto Stephanie Flynn

𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹'𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗿 Today, I want to chat about a dynamic duo that can make or break a business: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿. Think of them as the Batman and Robin of the retail world – when they team up, magic happens! Over the years, I’ve seen first-hand the power of this partnership. A strong Buyer-Merchandiser relationship is not just about crunching numbers and planning ranges; it's about 𝘴𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺, 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘦𝘴, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱. When these roles work in harmony, they can predict trends, optimise stock, and drive sales like a well-oiled machine. But what happens when this relationship is out of sync? It’s like trying to dance the tango solo – disjointed and uncoordinated. Without the Buyer and Merchandiser working closely, you 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘬 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘴.

Great opportunities

Why do I still rock my Napster.com hat years after I left the company? As a passionate marketer, I've always believed in the profound impact a strong brand can have on both customers and employees. Years ago, I had the privilege of serving as the Marketing Director for Napster.com, an experience that left a mark on my professional journey. I loved working there and I LOVED the people/culture. What's intriguing is that, even after all these years, I still proudly wear my Napster.com hat even after most of us were laid off when the company was sold. Why? Because the brand holds a special place in my heart, and it is a testament to the lasting impact a well-crafted brand and company culture can have. When I worked for that company, there was a lot of employee pride because of what that brand represents… a cool rebel who loves to share music. As marketers, we know the importance of a strong brand, but have you ever wondered how it impacts employees? As a former employee at Napster.com, I can attest to the lasting impact a well-crafted brand and company culture can have on a team. Years later, I still proudly wear my Napster.com hat, a symbol of the employee pride and enthusiasm that came from believing in the brand. A strong internal brand fosters a sense of pride among employees, creating a shared identity and promoting a collaborative environment. It's about being part of something bigger, something you believe in. And it goes beyond just a paycheck. As marketers, our mission is twofold: to create a compelling external brand that resonates with the market and to foster a strong internal brand that resonates with our team. The result? A workforce that proudly wears the company's brand, long after they've moved on. Remember, a brand is not just a logo – it's an experience, a feeling, and a story that transcends time. And hey, who knows, maybe you'll still be wearing that hat years down the line. So, what's your favorite brand that you've worked for? Share a photo of you rocking the company merch! #Napster #Marketing #ecommerce #oldschool #chiefmarketingofficer #CMO #CMOinsights #music #filesharing #retro #merchandise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>   I am dedicated to fostering community connections, passionate about lending a helping hand, giving back, and cherishing relationships with family and friends, all while thriving in the dynamic field of marketing.   Let's explore this journey together . . .   ➡️ Connect with me ➡️ Hit that ‘🔔’ on my profile to keep seeing my content ➡️ Follow my hashtag: #MichellesRulesOfMarketing ➡️ I post weekly or when the mood hits me ➡️ Topics: Executive Leadership | Marketing | eCommerce | Fractional CMO | Relationships

Exciting opportunities

As I reflect on my journey, one of the most transformative phases of my career was stepping into retail management. My experience as a Store Manager at Biba Apparels gave me a new perspective on the retail industry. It wasn’t just about selling clothes; it was about understanding what makes customers tick, what drives them to choose one brand over another, and how to create an inviting atmosphere that makes them want to return. In my role, I was responsible for everything from managing store operations to mentoring a team of talented individuals. Every day came with its own challenges, whether it was balancing inventory, managing peak season transitions, or ensuring that our visual merchandising was on point. But the most rewarding part was seeing how a well-coordinated effort could result in a seamless customer experience and, of course, meeting our sales goals. What makes this industry truly special is the human connection. The relationships you build with your team, your customers, and even your suppliers have a huge impact on the success of the store. Through the highs and lows, I’ve always kept my focus on delivering quality service and creating memorable experiences. I’m incredibly proud of the work I’ve done, but the journey doesn’t stop here. I believe there’s always something new to learn and room to grow. I’m looking forward to what the future holds and eager to connect with professionals who share the same passion for retail excellence. #RetailLeadership #TeamManagement #FashionRetail #SalesGrowth #RetailExperience #CustomerSatisfaction #StoreOperations #VisualMerchandising #CareerJourney #RetailInsights

Have you worked retail? I have and it's a tough gig. Between long hours on your feet, dealing with fussy customers and pasting a smile on your face through it all, it's downright exhausting. Now, 10X all of that for budtenders working in a dispensary. The product knowledge required, the regulations to follow, navigating multiple computer platforms, cameras watching your every move, inexperienced managers. It's surprising anyone wants that job. These are the things that are always in the forefront of my mind when trying to implement new promotions, systems, programs, etc at retail. It takes more than knowledge about marketing, design, advertising or communications to be successful at retail marketing. When marketers have firsthand dispensary experience we have empathy for the staff. We know what support will be necessary to be successful. And we know many of the potential pitfalls to avoid. Do your marketers have this kind of boots-on-the-ground knowledge & experience?
