In today’s competitive cannabis market, staying ahead requires innovative solutions. 

This is where Jane Digital Merchandising comes in. 

As the leading ecommerce solution for cannabis dispensaries, Jane offers a robust program known as Digital Merchandising, which provides cannabis retailers and wholesale CPG brands with unique advertising opportunities – and adds incremental revenue for dispensaries that’s ~100% profit.

How Digital Merchandising Works

Jane’s Digital Merchandising resembles popular models used by services like DoorDash and Instacart but is uniquely tailored to the cannabis industry. 

By participating, retailers allow wholesale CPG cannabis brands to promote their products directly on their online menus. 

This symbiotic relationship not only boosts visibility for brands but also increases revenue for retailers, as Jane shares a portion of the earnings generated on the retailer’s website.

Benefits for Retailers

Retailers benefit significantly from Jane’s targeted advertising capabilities. By integrating Jane’s sponsored rows into their online menus, retailers benefit from Jane’s shopper data & targeting – often seeing enhanced cart sizes and improved conversion rates by suggesting the right products to the shoppers

This targeting is powered by Jane’s sophisticated algorithms, which predict the most relevant products for consumers based on their browsing and purchasing history.

Advantages for Cannabis Brands

Advertising in the cannabis sector can be challenging due to strict regulations. Jane offers a compliant, high-ROI advertising avenue for brands restricted from traditional channels like Meta and Google Ads. 

Through Jane, brands can feature their products prominently, directly influencing purchasing decisions without resorting to discounts or cumbersome marketing tactics.
