Five Reasons Why You Need To Go The National Marijuana Retail & Dispensary Expo

Now that cannabis is legal in multiple states, there are more and more opportunities for networking thanks to new trade shows and large b2b events. One such event, The National Marijuana Retail & Dispensary Expo, is on January 17th and 18th, and specifically caters to retail-specific exhibitors. If you or your company is operating in the retail side of the cannabis industry, this event should be something you heavily consider attending.

Per their website, the RAD Expo is a business-only event that is 100% focused on the retail side of the industry. Attendance is free for licensed retail stores and dispensaries, as well as qualified applicants in states not yet issuing licenses.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

“RAD Expo will feature retail-specific exhibitors, including: POS sales products, shelving, display cases, accessories, food, drinks, refrigerators, programming consultants, packaging, POP displays, legal, accounting, CBD products, medical products, and just about everything and anything a retail store owner or dispensary will need to set up a store, or would want to sell.” – www.theradexpo.com

Why You Should Attend

1 – If you can locate someone who specializes in web design, SEO, high-quality photos, and video, you’ll be able to set your cannabis brand apart from others in your category and price-point.

2 – You never know who you’ll meet. If your company is looking for investors, these events often have people with large sums of money burning a hole in their pocket. Come prepared with digital documents that support your company’s growth or plan!

3 – Many of your competitors will be attending. Their goal is to beat you in sales and they’re doing everything they can to save money on traditional costs. If they can save big thanks to new connections, they’ll soon spend more money on marketing.

4 – You’ll meet someone from Respect My Region and we’ll tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong for marketing and how you can change things for the better. Hopefully you shed light on how much $ you’re wasting on print instead of digital. We’d love to help you re-strategize!

5 – Portland is directly between California and Oregon, and conveniently located right in the epicenter of all things legal cannabis. Whatever it is you’re looking to learn is most likely going to be provided by someone if you ask around enough.
