Unlocking Consumer Loyalty For Cannabis Brands


The maze of challenges that cannabis brands must overcome to establish awareness, develop recognition, drive sales, and build long-term brand equity may seem inescapable.

Across the cannabis industry, ready-to-grow brands either don’t even attempt digital cannabis advertising or are stalled, dabbling around the edges, and not sure how to engage effectively.

The beauty in these challenges is the opportunity they create. Now is the right time to build your cannabis brand marketing strategy with Mediajel’s reliable platform and expert team of cannabis brand strategists by your side.

Cannabis Brand Challenges

Brands Bear the Cost While Dispensaries Capture the Customer 

No matter how much money and effort you throw at marketing and advertising, dispensaries benefit while brands foot the bill. The nature of the beast is that cannabis brands don’t have an immediate path to a vital direct-to-consumer model.

So, dispensaries win the paid and earned traffic, allowing customers to shop other brands on your dime. When dispensaries hold the key to your customer base, knowing how to get ahead without steep discounting requires a big investment in brand awareness and dispensary relationships.

Cannabis Dispensary Challenges

When every state acts as its own country with a set of rules and regulations, region-to-region compliance is a moving target for MSO cannabis companies.

First, you have to understand each community because every state and region is different. With that foundational understanding, your brand will connect, build trust, and generate excitement about products. 

MediaJel tailors our stack of marketing solutions to help each dispensary overcome their pressing obstacles and thrive in their distinct market.

Customers Aren’t Brand Loyal

Cannabis customers can only name a handful of established brands.

Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) e-commerce has a high cost of entry.

Activating First-Party Data for Ad Campaigns

Brands can collect and own customer data, but don’t know how to activate the information to drive ROAS.

Brand Differentiation

The market for brands is still over-saturated after the Green Rush with minimal product differentiation. 

Many consumers are still inexperienced with cannabis and may not understand the nuances that distinguish one product from another.

Brands struggle to differentiate on products alone, because the differences between products are subtle and nuanced.

Needing Immediate Return On Ad Spend

Razor-thin margins require immediate ROAS.

Missing out on building customer lifetime value.

Limited Shelf Space

It’s difficult to get in front of in-demand cannabis buyers and build strong relationships on a foundation of shared value. 

Once you get into a room with a buyer, brands contend with their limited space for inventory space.

Multi-State Expansion

Brands can’t transport inventory across state lines.

In many states, brands are required to vertically integrate, and costs, relationships, product quality, and consistency must be factored in.

Multi state expansion
No Reliable Direct-to-Consumer Distribution Channels

The cannabis space lacks reliable, expansive DTC delivery service partners.

Brands need compliant transport and storage before accessing far-reaching distribution centers and delivery channels. 

Moving to a DTC model might strain relationships or breach existing agreements with dispensaries.
