4 Tips for Cannabis Brands to Elevate 4.20 Sales

While you may know that 4.20 is the largest cannabis holiday, you may not realize how significant this holiday is for growing bottom lines. In 2022, brands saw a 21% increase in sales from 3.20-4.20. During that period, retailers spent $424M.

Dispensaries start shopping weeks before 4.20. So, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help you prepare for the holiday and leverage the increased demand to ensure you get the most out of 4.20.
