How does your dispensary stand out from your competition and is that enough of a reason for a customer to choose you over the shop down the road? Here are a few ways that you can ensure that you are consciously adding the maximum amount of value for your customers, each of them easy to implement as a part of your business strategy.

Take a look at the customer experience from every angle, as well as asking them directly in what ways you can improve. At the end of the day, it is the customer that you want to make happy. The more memorable and the better the experience the better when it comes to getting customers to think of your store when they are in search of cannabis products.

Out Knowledge Your Competition

Knowledge truly is power. While there is a good amount of information on cannabis these days, it’s not always easy to access. For this reason, budtenders become that resource for those who may have questions. Being aware and implementing this into your employee training allows your company to help educate patients more adequately. While most budtenders are relatively knowledgeable, many fall victim to some cannabis myths or only have a baseline understanding. The ability to provide this information will also increase customer trust and eventually loyalty over time.
