Portland has more dispensaries per capita than any major city in America. With 300+ dispensaries serving 2.5 million metro residents, the competition is brutal and prices have hit rock bottom. In this market, the dispensaries that survive are the ones that build a loyal customer base through retention marketing, not the ones chasing new foot traffic.
With more dispensaries per capita than any major US city and the lowest cannabis prices in the country, Portland operators cannot afford to rely on foot traffic alone. The dispensaries that win here are the ones that own their customer relationships through email, SMS, and loyalty.
We build campaigns that work at the neighborhood level, not generic messaging that misses the local mark.
Portland has more dispensaries per capita than any major US city and the lowest prices in the country. These services are built for OLCC compliance and the brutal economics of Oregon's oversupplied market.
Hard numbers from dispensary retention programs we actively manage. Dashboard-sourced, audit-ready, no rounding.
The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission regulates all cannabis advertising in Oregon. Every campaign is reviewed against current OLCC guidelines before it goes live.
When you cannot win on price, you win on relationship. We build loyalty programs and retention campaigns that give customers a reason to choose your dispensary beyond the cheapest eighth on the menu. Personalized communications, strain education content, and VIP rewards create switching costs that pure discounting never can.
Oregon's OLCC prohibits false or misleading advertising, content that appeals to minors, and advertising visible from certain locations. All marketing must reach an audience of legal age. We review every campaign against these rules and the platform's own terms of service before it sends.
Portland consumers care deeply about sourcing and sustainability. We build campaigns that highlight your growing practices, packaging choices, and community involvement. This is not greenwashing; it is meeting the expectations of a consumer base that makes purchasing decisions based on values as much as price.
Portland's walkable neighborhoods create hyper-local competition. A Hawthorne dispensary competes with the shop two blocks away, not one across town. We build geo-targeted campaigns with neighborhood-specific messaging, timed sends around local foot traffic patterns, and loyalty incentives that keep nearby residents choosing your store over the one next door.
Two weeks from sign-on to first live campaign. We integrate with your POS, build your initial email and SMS automations, and launch your first OLCC-compliant send. No contracts required, no extended discovery period.
