The Future of Infused Products

It’s easy to toss around buzz words, such as micro-dosing, senior demos and luxe-ing the leaf, but what are the deeper cannabis trends that will reveal themselves, engage consumers, change purchasing behaviors and have staying power? In this discussion, Wana Brands CEO Nancy Whiteman will explore the future of infused cannabis products, including how to get out ahead of where the market is going while still running a profitable business today; and how to spot a real trend and not just marketing hype.

Crafting Your Brands PR and Marketing Story

Storytelling remains the most effective way to stand out in the market today, offering an opportunity to authentically connect with customers. Big brands with ubiquitous recognition, huge marketshare and cultish customers succeed in making elusive emotional connections with their audience, driving sales and building loyalty. Story is central to the cannabis industry, with an intense historical background, characters both heroic and villainous, and plenty of ongoing drama to help keep attention focused on how your brand is navigating every new challenge.

In this session, you’ll learn how CannaCraft applies storytelling to its Satori Confections brand, as well as how placing strong content creation at the center of marketing strategy leads to results. Learn how to identify your target audience, develop a distinct brand voice, and why defining your mission, positioning, and values is integral to success. Is your brand the scrappy underdog, the shiny techno-futurist or the trusted country doctor? With a strong brand persona in place, you can guide your customers on a journey from awareness to conversion, leading to loyalty, engagement and true identification with the product. Prepare to take a deep dive into age-old archetypes, consumer psychology and the subconscious mind with this in-depth examination of how to keep customers invested in your brand story.
