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

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.
