New Frontier Data
One of the most important things we learned at the conference was that we have lots of work to do! In our panel discussion, Gary Allen noted that last year, about 50M unique individuals bought cannabis, and there are about 164 probable cannabis consumers in the United States. That leaves a little over 100M consumers who are “sitting on the bench”—it is our job to bring those consumers into this legal market. The first step in the process is critical: understanding your consumer.
Our Cannabis Marketing Toolkit is a great place to start. The next step is easy, and it’s free for CMA Summit attendees: get real-time insights that bring the demographic and psychographic makeup of your audience into focus, giving you the power of precision for your campaigns. Fill out this form, or email Susan Hammann who will connect you with a member of our team who can answer any questions and help you get started.
And, if you’re curious about what the top-selling products and brands were last week, don’t forget to create your free Equio Explore account to access last week’s MVPs in the Retail Suite!
