Gold Standard Solutions serves Ohio dispensaries with fully managed email, SMS, loyalty programs, and omnichannel marketing strategy — all built for the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control's compliance requirements and the state's rapidly expanding adult-use market.
Ohio launched adult-use cannabis sales in 2024 and the market has grown rapidly ever since. Competition is intensifying. The dispensaries winning are the ones investing in retention and loyalty, not just foot traffic.
From the urban density of Columbus and Cleveland to the border markets of Toledo and Youngstown, we understand the distinct customer dynamics of each Ohio market.
Transition-ready services for Ohio dispensaries converting medical infrastructure into adult-use growth engines.
Documented outcomes from the dispensary retention programs we operate. Zero projections, zero inflated benchmarks.
The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control sets strict guidelines on dispensary advertising. We navigate the DCC rulebook so your marketing stays compliant and effective.
The transition is your biggest marketing opportunity. You already have a patient database that most new adult-use entrants lack. We build re-engagement campaigns that announce your adult-use offerings to existing patients while launching acquisition programs to capture the wave of new recreational consumers entering the market.
Ohio's DCC requires that cannabis advertising not be placed in media where more than 30% of the audience is under 21. This affects channel selection, ad placement, and audience targeting across programmatic and display campaigns. We configure all targeting to stay well under this threshold and document compliance for your records.
Yes. We serve dispensaries across the Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati corridors as well as Toledo, Youngstown, and smaller Ohio markets. Our campaigns are tailored to each metro's competitive dynamics, whether that means border-state competition in Toledo or dense urban competition in Columbus.
