#cannabisretailers Are You Ready for the Inevitable Market Shift? Operating a retail cannabis store is no walk in the park, especially in markets where competition is fierce and prices are being driven down. If your strategy is to reduce prices and offer discounts to attract customers, you're setting yourself up for failure. Being the second cheapest in town offers no real advantage. Thriving in a mature market requires a sophisticated approach and a well-crafted strategy. It demands an infrastructure that can execute and measure progress, coupled with the agility to pivot based on results. In new markets, it may seem easy – just stock your shelves and provide good customer service, and you'll do well. But don't get too comfortable. The market will inevitably shift as municipalities allow more stores and new areas open up. The ratio between canopy and stores will catch up, leading to oversupply and pushing prices down. This is a pattern that will unfold in most (all?) markets. The question is, will you be ready when it happens? At Ajoya Brands, we're launching management contracts to help retailers navigate this competitive landscape. Our experience in the Colorado market has taught us invaluable lessons, and we're ready to share our expertise with you. If you're entering a new market, it's best to get an early start and lay the foundation for long-term success. Don't wait until the market shifts to start thinking about your strategy. If you're interested in learning more about how we can help your cannabis retail business thrive, shoot me a DM. Let's discuss how our management contracts can put you ahead of the curve. #cannabisretail #cannabisindustry

Recently we announced that Mid-Day Squares has chosen Promomash as their partner to manage trade spend and deduction management challenges. But the truth is we've been working with their team for months behind the scenes to get them implemented, onboarded, and feeling confident about their new #CPGenius solution. The result? ✔️ Unprecedented visibility into their trade spend ✔️ Deductions handled ✔️ Full support from a team of experts ✔️ Seamless flow of Crisp data into Promomash ✔️ The ability to make decisions quicker with data "The view that you have in Promomash really gives you that visibility that you need super quickly…I work with our CFO hand in hand, and it’s been great to help us make quick decisions."

Hey CPG - please tear this idea apart. It can’t work. Can it? So, no matter how good or reliable a copacker may seem, it’s a little stressful partnering with a new one. Especially when it comes time for payment. 50% down and 50% at time of shipping. Pretty typical for new partnerships. But it’s scarier than the ocean for bootstrapped brands to part with that cash given they haven’t received the product. And we’ve all ran into our fair share of quality issues before… Of course there are ways to make sure you receive a quality product. But there’s a lot of education involved and it takes time to pull this off. But what if a 3rd party held 100% of the brands cash in escrow. And once their shipment is received in full, in tact, no quality issues, etc., then the cash is released to the copacker. 👀 If there are issues at time of receipt, the brand and copacker rectify this until the issue is resolved. If issues can’t be resolved, the cash is given back to the brand. 👀 This would only be a service for new partnerships between copackers and brands. This can’t be a thing. This can’t work. And you need to tell me why it can’t work. #cpg #copacking #contractmanufacturing #comanufactured #innovation
