Timing matters in email & SMS marketing!

Everyone floods inboxes on Fridays, but open rates are lower. Instead, I recommend a Monday/Thursday cadence:

📩 Monday: Set the tone for the week
📩 Thursday: Prep customers for the weekend

Less clutter, better results.

If your loyalty program’s just discounts in disguise, it’s time to rethink. Strategy > spam. Use data, personalize, and ask for feedback. Want help? I’ve built loyalty programs in cannabis retail for years. DM me. #loyaltyprograms #cannabismarketing

Want more foot traffic to your dispensary? Start with local SEO: optimize Google My Business, keep info consistent, and show up strong on social. Your online presence should match your in-store vibe. #localseo #cannabismarketing #retailmarketing

In cannabis marketing, patience is power, especially with retention. Loyalty programs take weeks to train, months to show results. Play the long game. Want to build one that sticks? DM me. #cannabismarketing #retentionmarketing

4 cannabis brands navigating a 'fascinating' business LevLane's executive creative director Martin Bihl identifies four cannabis companies that are building a brand while establishing an entirely new category.

Our job in advertising is to set our clients apart within the category. Except in the cannabis biz, where the category is being built WHILE the brands are. My thoughts on who to watch: www.mmm-online.com/home/channel... #cannabis #cannabismarketing #cannabisbusiness #advertising #marketing

You can’t outsource execution without a strategy. No roadmap = wasted time, budget, and effort. Know your audience, goals, message, and plan before hiring help - or you’ll just spin wheels. #marketingops #cannabismarketing

Verified GBPs drive 42% more directions and 85% more trust.

Promo fatigue is real. If you’d ignore 2 emails from the same brand in one morning, your customers probably would too. Alternate promos with value. Watch your cadence. Let messages earn attention - not demand it. #cannabismarketing #emailmarketing #marketingoperations

“What even is marketing ops?” Fair question. It’s the system that connects strategy to execution - messaging, data, teams, all aligned. When it works, everything flows. Want to see how it drives growth? DM me. #marketingoperations #cannabismarketing

Most treat market research like a checkbox - copying competitors and calling it strategy. Real research finds the gap, not validation. Quiet, foundational work builds sustainable growth. Skip it, and you’re just reacting. #cannabismarketing #marketresearch

My take: Local SEO is your lifeline. Big brands go national - you win by owning your block. Optimize your Google Business Profile and show up where your community is. Visibility + connection = power. #localseo #cannabismarketing

Study Hall Cousin wraps here for October, but the work continues. Cannabis brands that stay clear, compliant, and creative earn lasting visibility. If you’re ready to move forward with confidence, talk to a Cousin.

Compliance is a 🌿 team effort. If someone creates, approves, or posts, they need access to your compliance doc. Shared tools keep your cannabis brand consistent, protected, and confident online.
#CannabisMarketing #TeamStrategy #TalkToACousin

Visibility grows from systems. Get or create your own template & start logging rules, posts, safe words, disclaimers, and updates. Share it with your team. When everyone works from the same playbook, your canna brand stays consistent, compliant, and ready to adapt.
