Denver, CO (November 14, 2017) — Team Maryjane, a cannabis-centric marketing firm based in Denver, Colo., and Cultivate, based in San Francisco, Calif., brought a marketing solution to cannabis businesses at MJ Biz Con in Las Vegas Nov. 15-17. Team Maryjane’s Dispensary in a Box program is designed by dispensary marketing experts to compile all of the necessary marketing tools for dispensaries to be successful in an industry where traditional forms of marketing don’t always work, and aren’t always allowed, according to a press release.
“We analyzed more than 1,000 dispensary websites and found something quite shocking,” says Josh Whitaker, CEO of Team Maryjane. “Almost 75 percent of them had zero search engine optimization whatsoever, meaning they’re not found on search engines, and most aren’t found on Google Maps. And believe it or not, almost 50 percent didn’t have a website at all.”
The various Dispensary in a Box packages include a variety of options for marketing plans that custom fit to a dispensary’s specific needs. The packages include everything from a brand new website with mobile optimization to digital menus and the ability to accept online orders (excellent for dispensaries who face long wait times or lots of repeat customers). Businesses involved in the Dispensary in a Box program also receive help from a personal marketing coach who will offer additional tips and tricks to overcome their goals. Additionally, dispensaries don’t have to worry about writing content for their website or crafting creatives for social media. Dispensary in a Box does all of that for them. Members also have the chance to update their website and rebrand themselves as often as they like.
“We have taken all the necessary marketing items dispensaries must do to be successful, and not only made it one low price, but made it so the dispensary can focus on what they do best, and leave the marketing to us,” Whitaker says.
Team Maryjane and Cultivate offered the chance to try this revolutionary package at MJ Biz Con 2017. Dispensary in a Box normally costs $1,000 per month, but those who signed up during the event were locked into the full package for only $797 per month. Cultivate is also giving away free iPads to new clients that sign up during this time, which is used in store to simplify the ordering process. Business owners could sign up during the event or can join online to receive their discounted marketing package with free iPad.
