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!
