Top Advertising Tools to Consider in Your Cannabis Marketing Plan [Report]

Advertising can make all the difference for organizations trying to get a leg up on the competition.

In fact, the power of advertising is in the numbers. Business owners and executives spent a whopping $223.7 billion in 2018 on media advertising in the United States.

Before diving into the multitude of ad tactics, however, it’s important to have a solid marketing strategy in place. Working with agency professionals to develop and implement your plan can significantly improve your brand’s visibility and build customer loyalty.

Marketing planning can be particularly valuable to cannabis businesses. It helps sort out the who, what, why, where, when, and how questions that make this industry unique and challenging. Once you have a plan, it’ll be much easier to make adjustments to things like messaging and target audiences as a result of changing regulations and evolving consumer trends.
