Florida is the largest medical market,
your marketing needs to match

Florida has the biggest medical cannabis program in the country by patient count. Competition among vertically integrated operators is fierce. The dispensaries winning are the ones investing in retention and loyalty, not just storefronts.

Largest Medical Market
Florida has the largest medical cannabis program in the US by patient count. Retention marketing keeps patients loyal to your dispensary instead of switching operators.
Vertical Integration Model
FL's vertically integrated structure means operators control the entire supply chain. Email and SMS programs that highlight your exclusive strains and products are uniquely powerful here.
OMMU Compliance
FL Office of Medical Marijuana Use has strict advertising rules for medical cannabis. Every campaign we run is reviewed against OMMU guidelines before going live.
Adult-Use Anticipation
As Florida moves toward adult-use legalization, dispensaries that build email and SMS programs now will have a massive advantage when the recreational market opens.
Snowbird & Tourist Dynamics
Florida's seasonal population swings require marketing that serves year-round locals and seasonal visitors with different cadences and messaging.
Remote Expertise
Based in Queens, our proven playbook translates directly to Florida's competitive landscape. We bring the same data-driven retention strategies that work in the northeast to FL operators statewide.

We know Florida's
cannabis advertising rules

The OMMU sets strict guidelines on medical cannabis dispensary advertising in Florida. We navigate the OMMU rulebook so your marketing stays compliant and effective.

Every campaign reviewed against OMMU Rule 64ER21-10. Florida prohibits TV, radio, and billboard cannabis advertising entirely. We operate exclusively in OMMU-permitted channels — email, SMS, and programmatic — so your marketing never risks license jeopardy.
Patient-only audience verification on every send. Florida law requires cannabis marketing reach only registered OMMU patients. We validate list compliance before each campaign deployment and purge unqualified contacts automatically.
Medical claims substantiation built into our workflow. OMMU mandates that any therapeutic language be backed by evidence. Our copy team cross-references every claim against permitted language before approval, eliminating the compliance bottleneck for your team.
Pre-cleared across Alpine IQ, SpringBig, and Dutchie. Each platform enforces its own content rules on top of state law. We submit creative for platform review before scheduling, so campaigns launch on time without last-minute rejections.
Zero budget wasted on banned channels. Meta, Google, and traditional broadcast are off-limits for Florida cannabis. We allocate spend only to compliant owned and programmatic channels where every dollar is trackable and every impression is legal.

Common questions about cannabis marketing in Florida

CAN YOU MARKET A MEDICAL-ONLY DISPENSARY IN FLORIDA?+

Yes. Florida is currently medical-only, and all of our FL campaigns are built within OMMU advertising guidelines. We focus on patient retention channels — email, SMS, and loyalty — which are fully permitted under current rules. Every message is reviewed for compliance before it sends.

WHAT ADVERTISING CHANNELS ARE BANNED FOR FLORIDA DISPENSARIES?+

OMMU prohibits television, radio, and billboard advertising for medical cannabis in Florida. Meta and Google also restrict cannabis ads at the platform level. That is why we build programs around email, SMS, loyalty, programmatic display, and SEO — channels that are both legally compliant and high-performing.

DO YOU WORK WITH VERTICALLY INTEGRATED OPERATORS?+

Absolutely. Florida requires vertical integration, so every dispensary client we serve in the state operates under that model. We build campaigns that highlight your exclusive product lines and use proprietary patient data to drive repeat purchases across your own supply chain.
