There seems to be a boom in “membership rewards” programs for cannabis shops.
Not many people may subscribe to these things, because of filling out a form, and the idea of carrying an extra card that they scan at checkout. No one needs another card to carry around after all! When at the store sometime last week, Paul decided to buy some sweets. He was charged a dollar more for the candy because he wasn’t a “rewards member.” However, there is one place he was happy to join their membership program, even though it costs ten bucks a month. This was at the Platinum Club, which offers local cannabis dispensaries. Since he spends so much money on cannabis in a month, it’s definitely worth it paying a few extra bucks to the shop. With the Platinum Club, Paul gets 15% off all his cannabis purchases, and 23% off all related extras such as screens, rolling papers, and bongs. This saves him approximately one hundred dollars a month with a lot of ease, and that’s not even the best part of the cannabis Platinum Club. He has access to a weekly text update that describes all the new strains, edibles, and products the cannabis store receives that week. He also has the option to reserve the same cannabis products in advance, since the membership gives the Club members first selection of all the newest and the greatest cannabis strains. Finally, he gets free home delivery for all his orders from the cannabis dispensary. Although the delivery service itself is free, he often has to tip the cannabis delivery driver as a show of appreciation.
