The Peak Beyond’s Post

Ever dreamt of a space where cannabis enthusiasts can come together, relax, and enjoy a safe, beautifully designed environment? That’s exactly what we’re creating with our designs for California Cannabis Consumption Lounges at Studio Bliss. 🛋️✨ With the recent signing of Assembly Bill 1775, local jurisdictions can now permit cannabis cafes that offer not only cannabis consumption but also non-cannabis-infused food, drinks, and live entertainment. 🍔🎶 Consumption lounges are the next big thing, and designing these spaces goes beyond comfy seats and stylish decor (although we’ve got those too 😉). It’s about creating a vibe, a space that’s compliant, welcoming, and ready to elevate the California cannabis experience to the next level. Curious about what goes into designing these one-of-a-kind lounges? Check out our latest post where we share how we’re helping cannabis brands create unforgettable experiences for their customers. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gPMrjqC9 #Cannabis #CannabisIndustry #CannabisCommunity #CannabisLounge #California #Californiacannabis

In July we recovered 521 customers that spent $36,958 at this dispensary in Utica, Michigan. But we’ve also found a way to add even more revenue to their store. While working with this Michigan dispensary, we found out that 63% of the customers from their current email list haven't shopped in over 60 days. And I know this might seem like a bad statistic at face value, but this is incredibly valuable data. Since we’ve collected these shoppers’ emails, we’ve established a marketing channel with a person who would otherwise just walk in and out of your store — one and done. Never to be seen again. But now we have a way to incentivize another visit. This is the power of having a list and gathering emails from customers. Leaking 63% of your email customer-base is huge! With that in mind, it’s clear how much potential revenue is being left on the table at this dispensary. And that’s a problem our team is very skilled in solving. Having this list now gives us, at Tact, the ability to contact those 63% of customers, recover them and add substantial new revenue to the store. But without that list, most stores would waste tons of money to generate new traffic. Most store owners would be looking to just throw money at big events, sponsorships and giveaways. But none of those are as reliable as creating your own channel by building your email list. One is gambling, the other is asset-creation. Hopefully we’ll have an even bigger win to share for this Utica store very soon! If your dispensary is doing over $400k/mo in revenue and have been opened for more than 6 months, Dm me and I can get you an estimate on how much revenue we can recover for your store.

Does a name have to be fun and interesting to be effective? The short answer: not at all. A functional, clear name can be incredibly effective—especially for brands or services with limited budgets to spend on building awareness. Take, for example, a dryer vent cleaning service called Lint-X. It’s not overly clever or playful, but it’s memorable and crystal clear about what the company does. Compare that to Bake Culture, a bakery located on St. Marks Place in NYC—a street known for its smoke shops and hookah lounges. The name might sound intriguing, but it’s not immediately clear that it’s a bakery rather than, say, a new dispensary. Clever names can spark curiosity, but they can also create confusion. Striking the right balance is key. So, when choosing a name for a new brand or service, consider both functional, straightforward options and more creative, clever ones. You never know which will serve your brand best in the long run. #namingexperts #thenamery #pinksky

An extra $72,639 can change a lot for a dispensary. Since April, we’ve recovered that amount for this store in Michigan.  But what could you actually do with that recovered revenue? The truth is, most dispensaries are excellent stores, but they have a leaky bucket. They're great at getting people in the door, but 40-60% of customers only ever shop once and never come back. And that’s costing them tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. And if that’s you, imagine for a second: what could you actually do for your dispensary with an extra $72,639. Would you put it towards staff appreciation? Would you use it to hire more people to help out at the store? Would you invest in a bigger marketing budget? These are all things most dispensaries don’t ever think about because they’re so busy and fixated on getting more and more customers. When the answer’s hiding right under their nose: They really just need to refocus on patching the leaks with retention strategies and campaigns. And then, it’s as if the bucket refills itself. If your dispensary is doing over $400k/mo in revenue and has been open for more than 6 months, Dm me and I can get you an estimate on how much revenue we can recover for your store.

Always good to find a career that aligns with the values you were raised with.
