Tracking sell-through rates + optimizing inventory = the utmost success for THCA flower retailers. Here’s a few smart inventory tips to keep your profits on the + side. 👊🛒Keep up with strain trends (working with a reputable wholesaler helps!) 🛒Consider seasonal storage needs for quality retention. Summer = faster degradation, Winter = longer shelf life: Adjust your order quantities seasonally with this in mind! 🛒Set auto-reorder points for your most popular strains considering your supplier lead times 🛒 Monitor product shelf life and adjust order quantities accordingly, running promotions where needed (most THCA flower maintains peak freshness for 4-6 months so calculate your par levels using this timeframe!) 🛒Review sales data monthly to spot emerging trends and adjust forecasts ⭐ Pro tip: Document your stockout AND overstock instances - both offer valuable insights for future planning!

Is 2025 the year for rosin? Recently, consumer trends have been shifting towards the clean, solventless concentrate, which uses just temperature and pressure to extract the precious oil from flower material. In comparison to resin, which is a solvent-based concentrate, oil is extracted from the flower using a “solvent” (that’s later purged) such as ethanol, butane, CO2, etc. Serve your organic, clean consumers with pure rosin from Elevated Trading and get ahead of the trend! https://lnkd.in/gETdScXr #rosin #liverosin #solventless #thca #hemp

Have customers who still don’t understand the difference between hemp & marijuana? Here’s a simple guide to help: 🌱Legally speaking, “hemp” is defined as cannabis plants containing 0.3% THC or less, while “marijuana” refers to cannabis containing more than 0.3% THC. 🌱Hemp is rich in CBD with minimal THC, while marijuana typically has high THC levels and varying CBD content. 🌱Hemp is federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill. Marijuana remains federally controlled; however, state laws vary for both plants. 🌱Both hemp and marijuana are varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant, but they are cultivated differently for their uses. The more you know, the better you can sell. 👊
