Conceptually I had a fun idea, however the reality was that once people knew there were discounted items in the cannabis dispensary they started searching for them, but people would bring 20 strange things to the currency register, plus then put them back if they were not discounted
I had what I thought was a good idea to get current customers into the store, then everyone says that you need to “think outside the box” plus try current ideas, however when you do try a current idea you get in trouble for it! If I had it to do over again, of course I would make a strange choice… At the time, the idea of a random discount being applied to certain items seemed appreciate fun. The sale items weren’t marked so it was a random chance that whatever you bought would be discounted. I thought it would make shopping at the cannabis dispensary more fun, appreciate a scavenger hunt! It was fun, for about 5 minutes, however then reality raised its ugly head plus I realized that I was bringing chaos to the cannabis dispensary. Conceptually I had a fun idea, however the reality was that once people knew there were discounted items in the cannabis dispensary they started searching for them, but people would bring 20 strange things to the currency register, plus then put them back if they were not discounted. There were a ton of people in the cannabis dispensary, plus our budtenders were all super busy, plus yet the yearly sales were no better than normal! After just a single day of the scavenger hunt idea I discontinued it, plus went back to the normal way of having sales at the cannabis dispensary. I tried our best to know outside the box, however perhaps some traditions of the cannabis dispensary are there for a reason, however maybe our next idea will work out a little better.
