Market Challenge
Historically we have seen that dispensaries lack:
▶ marketing expertise
▶ marketing experience
▶ regulatory expertise
▶ the time it takes to market effectively
All of which are essential to compete, present, grow
and sustain their businesses.
Solution
An all inclusive marketing platform developed
and built just for dispensaries.
Using proprietary software, Dispensary In A
Box designs, provides and manages all the
critical elements for successful dispensary
marketing.

U.S. Cannabis Industry Trend - $$$$
“
”
Explosive industry and
dispensary growth is creating
incredible opportunities.
And challenges!
● The acceptance is here. Legalization is a
reality.

growth.

and states are making money. A lot of
money!
Opportunity
Critical Dispensary Marketing Inadequacies
No Strategic Differentiation
▶ Professional Website that works across all media and for all
generations.
▶ Local and organic SEO - dispensaries must be found on all search
engines incl. Google, Apple, Bing and WeedMaps
▶ Social Media - most don’t post at all, when they do they often get shut
down due to lack of understanding of the regulations and restrictions.
▶ Professional Image - Zero or bad branding, website, and storefront.
▶ Customer Outreach - Very little marketing, even less text message
and/or email marketing.
▶ Loyalty Programs-Countless options. How to choose which one is best?
▶ Lack of time and expertise to design, run and manage their marketing.
Websites - Old vs. New
● Our research has shown almost 50% of dispensaries
don’t even have a website (over 65% in California)!
Typical Dispensary Website
Not mobile accessible, can’t order online, out of date,
stoner-esque looking.
DiB Website
Mobile optimized, online ordering, branding appeals to
the current trends and target market of dispensary
shoppers: women and baby boomers.
Inadequate Local SEO
● DiB puts dispensaries on the map! (Google, Apple and Bing)
Google shows 9 Actual-24!
Search Engine Optimization is vital to
dispensaries. New consumers and
recreational users look for
dispensaries on search engines like
Google and Apple maps (left).
Experienced users look for
dispensaries on WeedMaps (right).
Most dispensaries are listed only on
WeedMaps and NOT on Google or
Apple maps where they should be.
DiB Benefits to Dispensary
1. Comprehensive Program
2. Competitive Advantage
3. Professionally executed and managed online presence
4. Improved visibility
5. Affordable “No brainer”
a. A la carte options are ineffective and expensive
6. Connected and engaged customers
7. Minimal time and effort expended
8. Improved Revenues and Bottom Line
Priced at $800 per month for Sprout, the
essential, all-inclusive package.
This is well under existing pricing options for
a la carte marketing efforts.
All for one small monthly payment

Clients
We’ve worked
with some of the
biggest (and the
smallest!) names
in the industry.
Competition
While certainly competition exists, we have found no one that is offering a
Packaged Solution outside of the cannabis industry. This model was
actually created out of these uber-successful “marketing in a box”
companies currently in operation:
Competitive Advantage
▶ Website creators run the gamut from professionals all the way to your
son’s friend on a computer in his basement. Most do not understand
the requirements of a lead-converting, search engine-optimized
website and the regulations we face in the cannabis industry. We do!
▶ Sites are frequently shut down or “kicked off” of platforms like
Facebook and Instagram, because marketing companies don’t know
or understand the regulations. We do!
▶ Competitors do not have access to, or relationships with other
technology providers. We do!
Revenue Projections (Conservative)
● Projections are based on sales people selling between 1.5 to 2
DiB’s per week. Revenues and #’s of Dispensaries compound.
Expense Projections (6 month)
Complete Projections available upon request.
3 Year Projections
Use of Proceeds: $150,000
Overall, we want to hire a Chief Operations Officer to build out the SOPs for
each individual item of the Dispensary in a Box, and then the DiB as a whole,
while at the same time bring on a VP of Sales to develop a sales force.
SPECIFICALLY:
▶ Additional Hires $35,000
▶ Operating Expenses/Overhead $85,000
▶ Marketing $30,000
Website, initial roll out and email campaign (PR), trade shows, print
advertising, industry mags, industry events.
Additional Hires
Erica Wood
Commercially-focused with
deep operational, marketing,
and business development
expertise with a unique
combination across strategy,
development and tactical
execution, as well as a
background in supporting
company acquisitions.
Lisa Anderson
Grew a b2b product company
from $0 to millions of dollars a
year in revenue in 12 years.
Expertise in providing coaching,
training and development for
sales teams, coordinating and
leading training programs that
deliver positive results.
Georgia Hoyer
Over 6 years of successful
experience managing strategic
brand direction, business
development, and operations
structure and team leadership
in manufacturing and startup
industries.
Recently sold her company to
Pelican.
Exit Strategy
As has happened countless times over the last many
decades, when a large agency decides to move into
another market/industry, they purchase the guys that
already have a foothold.
When cannabis becomes legal, OR when the large
agencies are no longer fearful of losing their large clients,
they will purchase us. In 2 years, we will be the dominant
player in the cannabis industry.
