Building Loyalty in Today’s Market

Letā€™s face it: when I walk into a dispensary, the last thing I want to hear is, ā€œHey, did you know youā€™ve got points to use?ā€ Because guess what? I never hear that. Like many of you, Iā€™ve racked up points that sit forgotten and unused, making the whole “loyalty program” feel pretty worthless.

Itā€™s not just annoyingā€”itā€™s a missed opportunity for cannabis businesses everywhere.

Out with the Old, In with the Smart

Traditional loyalty programs with their points and discounts might sound good on paper, but theyā€™re failing us in practice. We live in an era where personalization is king. The cannabis industry should be no exception, especially given its rapid growth and the unique needs of its customers.

We need something better. We need programs that are as dynamic and diverse as the consumers they aim to serve.

A New Approach: Listening Over Discounts

Imagine this: a dispensary that actually remembers your favorite strains and can recommend something new you might like, not because itā€™s on sale, but because it fits your taste profile. This is where intelligent consumer profiling comes in. Itā€™s not about bombarding you with generic sales pitches; itā€™s about understanding your preferences, experiences, and even your purchasing emotions.

63% of consumers think brands need to step up their listening gameā€”and theyā€™re right. In the cannabis space, this means turning feedback into your roadmap. Act on what your customers are telling you about their pain points, and watch how quickly they turn into loyal advocates.

Real Stories, Real Frustrations

Take my experience: I visit dispensaries regularly and each time, not once have I been prompted to redeem points, nor do I have an easy way to track them. Itā€™s as if theyā€™re saying, ā€œThanks for your loyalty, now good luck figuring out how to benefit from it!ā€

This isnā€™t just my storyā€”itā€™s a common frustration among consumers, and itā€™s exactly why the old ways arenā€™t working.
