Turn Your Medical Marijuana SOS Into Medical Marijuana SEO

Posted by terence

You wouldn’t be too far off in saying that ad applies to most, if not all of your recent Google searches with even the slightest hint of vagueness. Sure, you’ll probably get the typical unnerving site or two when looking up “vintage hats” or “dry wall repair,” but do you want your online medical marijuana store or virtual online collective popping up the 25 recent midnight showings of “Cheech and Chong’s Up In Smoke” or “My Aunt Edna’s Totally Rad Pot Banana Nut Bread Recipe?” Certainly, that’s not the world the medical marijuana community lives in. It is professional, efficient and ready to serve its medical marijuana patients with the utmost respect and care. With proper the proper tools, Search Overload Syndrome is a thing of fiction.

Nothing related to Kevin Costner has ever rang as true as this: “If you build it, they will come.”

Medical Marijuana SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the highly-strategic practice – excuse me – art of employing phrases and keywords in your website in order to gain the right amount of awareness and specificity the medical cannabis community needs to steer their Google boats in your virtual collective’s direction. At 420 Web Pros, we’ve mastered this art in order to deliver the most advantageous starting point for your medical marijuana marketing campaign. Building your collective with the right tools will not only save your clientele hours from old clips of “Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle,” but give them a seamless experience from using their favorite search engine or social network to finding your virtual collective.

But where does medical marijuana SEO fit into the rest of my campaign? And, please, spare the Costner references.

At 420 Web Pros, we’ve honed, with Batman-like efficiency, the skills to push your online marijuana marketing campaign to its fullest potential. Instead of smoke bombs, Batarangs, and dental floss (okay, maybe dental floss), our utility belt is equipped with such things as impeccable web and print design, a full understanding of point of sale integration, a passion for professional branding and marketing and effective copywriting as it pertains to the ever-growing and ultra-booming medical marijuana industry.

Holy web presence, Batman!

Online Ordering is the Key to Safety and Security for any Medical Marijuana Delivery Service

Posted by Dan
Secure Online Ordering

Online Ordering is the best way for a collective or delivery service to ensure the privacy and discretion of it's members!

When  you buy  a bottle of wine the clerk puts it in a paper bag, if you’re buying an adult magazine it comes in a black plastic bag. When you add or remove something from your safe deposit box you are escorted into a secure room with no windows or cameras and left alone to do your business. Catholics make confessions in a small, secluded box hidden away from the congregation and contracts are negotiated in board rooms behind closed doors. In our every day life we take lots of measures to ensure privacy and safety when going about our business, but for some reason the status quo of acquiring medicine is to wait in a line with a bunch of strangers, listening to every word spoken between patient and caregiver and watching anxiously as the entire transaction takes place. It seems backwards that something so private should be such public spectacle but this is simply the way medicine has functioned in the US for decades and the medical marijuana community seems to follow largely the same behavior. But where pharmacies and hospitals would still have you wait in line, spouting your ails and treatments aloud for any passerby to overhear, the medical marijuana community and medical marijuana delivery service can provide a safe and discreet alternative that traditional medicine cannot: online ordering.

Any collective operating a medical marijuana delivery service or dispensary knows that patients appreciate discretion and the more steps an organization takes to protect it’s member’s privacy, the more likely that group is to have a strong and loyal membership. The need for privacy and safe, secure transactions is something that our clients have expressed to us again and again and was ultimately the need that drove us to create our Virtual Online Collective complete with online ordering. This solution provides collectives with the next generation in safety and security for it’s members, allowing for a level of privacy and discretion unsurpassed in the medical and caregiving industries. When members have the convenience to log in to a secure website and place their orders over an encrypted data stream directly to the collective, and have it delivered discreetly to them at home they know that they are being taken care of and that their privacy is as important to the collective as it is to the them. This is what sets great organizations apart from your run of the mill collectives; paying attention to the details that ensure the privacy and security of your members is protected as much as possible.

In a community that is overrun with opportunistic groups simply trying to find a way to make money and scam the system, the strength of a collective is directly tied to the confidence and trust of it’s members. A healthy and prosperous collective is one that goes to great lengths to assure it’s members that it is serious about privacy and the service it can provide. This is represented in a number of ways such as the quality of the dispensary, the medicine it offers and the solutions it provides to it’s members. Additionally, one of the most important ways that a collective can promote confidence among it’s patients and project an air of legitimacy is to create a cohesive branding strategy and carry it across every aspect of the collective. The labeling should match the logo, the signage should match the labeling, the decor should compliment the signage and it should all tie together with a crisp, modern website that keeps members informed and up to date with everything happening at the collective. If the collective is operating a delivery service to capitalize on the convenience and discretion afforded by taking the medicine directly to the patients, they should absolutely give their members the ability to discreetly place their orders online and leverage the unmatched safety and security of the internet. With cell phone hacking, the Patriot Act and a number of other major ways in which phones are no longer safe, an encrypted data stream sent directly from the patient’s computer to the collective is the 21st century solution to the privacy concerns of compassionate caregivers and patients alike.

As the medical marijuana community and industries continue to grow and expand, the need of medical marijuana collectives and delivery services to reassure their members and protect their privacy grows on a daily basis. There are countless reasons why patients would want to have their personal and medical information kept secure and until now collectives didn’t have a great deal of options when it came to providing discretion for members. Thankfully, the days of having no other choice but to walk in to a brightly colored building and wait in line with a bunch of other patients while acquiring medicine have come to an end. Secure online ordering gives collectives and delivery services the strength and confidence to guarantee their patient’s discretion and give them an advantage over their competition. The internet has made possible a new level of privacy and convenience never before realized among the medical marijuana community and those rushing to adopt these new technologies are the ones who will ensure the prosperity of their organization for years to come!

420 Web Pros builds the Ultimate Online Medical Marijuana Store!

Online Medical Marijuana Store

An Online Medical Marijuana Store is exactly what your organization needs to be prosperous in 2011.

An Online Medical Marijuana Store can mean a lot of things, it could be Marijuana Software, Medical Marijuana E-Commerce, Medical Marijuana Merchant Services or a Medical Marijuana Online Dispensary . . . but regardless of what it means to you, 420 web pros has got you covered.  2010 was one of the most exciting years on record for the Medical Marijuana community, and it saw a greatly expanded list of offerings from 420 Web Pros.  In 2010 we expanded our business throughout the rocky mountain states making friends and doing business in Colorado, Oregon, Montana and Washington.  The introduction of our Virtual Online Collective software has revolutionized the Medical Marijuana Dispensary model, and combined with the Merchant Services we offer the Online Medical Marijuana Dispensary is becoming the hottest new practice in the entire MM industry.  All things considered it was a landmark year, but nothing compared to what we are brining to the masses in 2011!

Social networking is the most talked about thing in the world right now and the measure of a business’ prowess and forward thinking ability is it’s integration into the quickly evolving world of social networking. If your dispensary, collective or growing operation isn’t fully taking advantage of the enormous benefits of social networking and the modern web, you’re practically trying to fall behind. It is no longer sufficient to print bumper stickers and send out a monthly email blast as a model for informing new consumers about your products or organization, a well thought out and fully integrated online strategy is key to the success of any Medical Marijuana business or group. For many, an Online Medical Marijuana Store is the key to keeping up with the fervor of content pouring on to the internet every day.  Online Medical Marijuana Store is a pretty broad term, so allow us to break it down a bit for you as it would apply to some of the more prominent roles within the Medical Marijuana Industry.

If you are a grower, an Online Medical Marijuana Store is going to be an opportunity for you to spread awareness of your brand and products.  Your needs are going to be different from that of a dispensary or collective.  Any grower that has cultivated a particularly popular and successful strain will want to capitalize on the success of that product.  You would definitely want to engage in Medical Marijuana Branding, and design a Medical Marijuana Logo for your strain, something that is appropriate for the industry, the product and the nature of your operation.  Knowing how to identify the characteristics of your operation and deploy a web presence that takes advantage of them is what 420 Web Pros does best.  Marijuana Software that would best service a grower is a content management platform that would compliment your medical marijuana web design and allow fans of your product to purchase supplemental offerings.  If your “Purple Ape Gong”  kush is extremely popular and featured at dispensaries all over the state, you should be selling “Purple Ape Gong” bumper stickers, t-shirts and hats directly from your site.  A proper content management platform customized and implemented for your by 420 Web Pros will allow you to do these things while keeping your dispensaries and collectives up to date on the day to day progress and offerings of your grow operation.  Imagine posting on your website an announcement of a new strain that has just become available, and receiving orders literally within hours or minutes from dispensary and collective managers that are subscribed to your updates.  Imagine supplementing your income by allowing fans of your product to show their appreciation by purchasing merchandise directly from you via your website!  Think of how this could increase your business and personal security, and once you factor in the ability to share content from your website with the entire social networking world, you brand suddenly has access to as much public exposure as Apple or Nike.  That’s what Online Medical Marijuana Store means to growers.

If you are a dispensary or collective, Online Medical Marijuana Store can be even more revolutionary.  Dispensaries have realized the amazing virtues of the Virtual Online Collective tool that 420 Web Pros rolled out last year, and have taken advantage of it!  But that ability to have your members securely place orders and have them delivered to their door is just the beginning, once you integrate the ordering and delivery features of the Virtual Online Collective with our Medical Marijuana Merchant Services, you have a fully integrated and paperless process for receiving, delivery and accepting donations that will set your dispensary apart from every other in terms of convenience, discretion, safety and security. It is a true revolution in the medical marijuana industry. But an Online Medical Marijuana Store is more than just a tool for dispensaries. For a collective, it is the opportunity to create an active community that encourages members to interact with each-other and the collective in a way that was impossible until now. In 2011, 420 Web Pros will introduce to the world the first Medical Marijuana Social Networking software suite specifically designed for businesses and organizations within the medical marijuana industry. Collectives will have the ability to assign their members with a username and profile, and a member will be able to login to the collective’s website and participate like never before. Members will be able to communicate with other members, chat about offerings at the collective, rate particular strains for enjoyment and effectiveness, comment on favorite menu items, participate in forum discussions, communicate directly with the collective, place orders online for in-person pickup and much, much more. All of the functions and features of the in-person experience that a collective member has access to when they walk through the door will be offered online, and members will have the freedom to interact with each-other building friendships and relationships with individuals they might never run in to at the collective. Medical Marijuana Networking at it’s best, taking the ability to share thoughts, insight and information with every member of the collective. Online Medical Marijuana Store functions combined with Medical Marijuana Social Networking, another revolution brought to you by 420 Web Pros!

420 WEB PROS LAUNCHES A ONE-STOP MEDICAL MARIJUANA SHOP ONLINE FOR PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS

Posted by Dan

Medical marijuana patients and caregivers now have a comprehensive and secure turn-key solution, thanks to medical cannabis Internet specialist 420 Web Pros. Today, the launch of the innovative website marks the birth of a new “virtual marketplace” system that connects patients and cannabis suppliers in a way that’s safe, responsible and convenient.

“Our marketplace system gives medical marijuana patients the power to order directly online from an extensive product catalog,” says Dan Rocha, CEO of 420 Web Pros. “But just as important as the system’s convenience is the value we place on privacy and security.” 420 Web Pros specializes in leveraging the power of the Internet to help the medical marijuana industry thrive in the digital age, while also helping caregivers and the patients they serve stay compliant with local state laws.

420 Web Pros’ new site for recent client Norcanna.com allows medical marijuana patients to order in a secure and discreet manner with a simple but effective s­­hopping cart interface. A powerful suite of tools also allows cannabis patients to track the status of their orders and see their order history — even get precise information about delivery times and the name of the caregiver arriving at their door (optional).

But the 420 Web Pros cannabis e-store solution is just as powerful for vendors — whether they are seed banks, delivery services, farms or cannabis collectives. Once registered as administrators, suppliers can customize their pages with ease. This gives them the ability to tailor prices, minimum and maximum orders, and other variables to suit individual customers.

“Administrators have access to a set of built-in tools for enhanced security and discretion,” adds Rocha. “For instance, medical marijuana suppliers can pre-verify patients, and choose to hide product menus from the general public. We understand how important discretion is, and these tools enhance the privacy and security we’ve built into our virtual marketplace solution for the marijuana industry. At 420 Web Pros, we place utmost value on representing the medical cannabis industry responsibly.”

The 420 Web Pros online cannabis store system also:

- Allows the Administrator to set minimum and maximum order amounts on a per-patient basis

- Gives suppliers unlimited customization tools to add new products or categories at any time

- Sells other items such as medical marijuana accessories, stickers, T-shirts and other cannabis-related products
