Are oils the future? I know that o.pen sells a ton, but the competition in this space is STIFF. I was hoping the PR had some sort of information on how we have an edge up due to a weed maps connection, or something - BUT NOTHING?! The only detail we got was 170,000 - which doesn't seem like much.
My local dispensaries carry no less than 5 different brands that I can think of:
-o.pen
-FlavRX
-PureGold
-Moxie (who collabs with many other companies and has killer packaging)
-AbsoluteExtracts
And now
-IVXX
How will we compete? Do we have an edge somehow? The IVXX packaging for shatter was next level. This pre filled vape packaging looks less than stellar next to the brands I've listed above. Also, I have to mention that I'm one of the few people that buy these at my dispensary. The stock goes down very slowly compared to shatter and bud at the same dispensaries. I'm not pulling this out of my ass, I've seen this with my own eyes, being a patient. These things are only needed to be restocked a fraction of the time. I see the carts slowly dwindle, and then a new order slowly come in.
...I'm REALLY hoping the weed maps logo on the package means something more, but I have to say that some of my local dispensaries have "powered by weed maps" listed on their wall - and they certainly don't have a partnership, they're just listed on weed maps.
Meh, I just expected something more than the typical. I don't see how we're going to gain share from the others that have been doing pre filled carts for YEARS and already have a loyal fan base.
Let's hope the market disagrees.
