Start with ditching your personal e-mail account in favor of an official, more identifiable account. For example, “notification@420webpros.com” just let your customers know about a brand new marijuana strain that helps with certain types of anxiety. They see it ping on their phones while out shopping or at the workplace with your collective’s name on it, and know right away it’s not their cousin Keith with the Phish tattoo. In other words, it gives your cannabis collective a distinct space in people’s inboxes.

420 Web Pros understands that sometimes that same cousin Keith went on a Facebook tagging spree, so now your synched e-mail account is flooded with Facebook notifications. Where is your “notification@420webpros.com” e-mail? Buried? Like any notable publication, your newsletters and notifications should be on time and expected in a regular fashion. We can make your virtual collective’s e-mails look and feel like daily, weekly, or quarterly-released publications as if they were thrown right onto their doorstep by the paperboy (also, sadly, cousin Keith).

Tips: Keep a well-balanced list of e-mails that you regularly send to. Any dead e-mails from unresponsive clients needs to be deleted in order to not be considered spam.

Include sign-up forms on your virtual collective’s website so customers can be aware of your regular notifications instead of scrolling by a random “@420webpros.com” e-mail strewn about your site.

Include incentives for signing up to the newsletter such as give-aways, prizes, or coupons redeemable at your medical marijuana collective.

Your product deserves a regular, consistently updated web service that keeps customers interested and potential customers curious about what your virtual collective has to offer. With a reliable and well-designed email campaign, you can let your members know they’re part of what you’ve built.

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 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!

If you want to improve your visibility among people's search results, you have to engage the search engines. It takes time and a strategy, but the payoff can be huge!

Every industry has it’s own unique set of trends and mores, few more so than the Medical Marijuana Industry. In a marketplace that has become overrun with competition it can be difficult to get your message out or draw attention to your organization.  Having a great looking website is a good start, but the coolest website in the world won’t do much for you if noone sees it. If you’re even thinking about taking your 420 organization online, you better have a solid medical marijuana SEO strategy to make it worth your time. If you haven’t considered marijuana marketing, now is the best time to get started!

Maybe you haven’t thought much about what it means, perhaps you haven’t thought about it at all but medical marijuana online marketing is every bit as important for an organization’s web presence as it’s website or it’s Facebook account.  Every time you do a search on Google, Bing or Yahoo you get millions upon millions of search results in a fraction of a second.  Most people will not look past the first page of results, and those that do will likely never go past five or six pages worth of results before getting discouraged and trying a new search.  So even if you’re website is 100% relative to a person’s search query, if you come up on page 13 or 250 or 10,000 nobody is ever going to find you.  If you want to be found, you’ve got to get in to those first few pages.  If you want to be a big player, you’ve got to get on page one. In order to do so you’ve got to identify the search terms that are most applicable to your organization and really go for it.

But once you’ve figured out the keywords and phrases that best describe your organization, how in world do improve your search engine ranking?  Therein lies the delicate and ever evolving art of Search Engine Optimization or SEO.  SEO is the practice of expanding the awareness of a website among search engines by employing numerous tactics in order to build strong associations between a website and certain keywords.  When all the right seeds have been planted, search engines in their unending crawl across the Internet will come across these seeds and begin to build associations.  The different tactics that SEO providers use in order to plant these seeds are tightly held secrets, and are constantly evolving in order to be compatible with search engines that are constantly growing and changing their search algorithms.  It’s is both an art and a science and at 420 Web Pros we excel at both ends of the spectrum.

A marijuana SEO account with 420 Web Pros will allow your organization (collective, dispensary, delivery service, grow house, ect.) to attract the attention it needs to grow and flourish. Patients in your community will be able to find you on Google, collectives in your area will discover your farm when they search for growers and like minded supporters will know about your event when they surf the web looking for activities in their community. The Internet is the greatest informational tool in the history of mankind but it doesn’t help much if people can’t find the information about you! Can you afford to be without a marijuana SEO strategy when so many of your competitors are listed ahead of you?

Didn’t think so.

"Why" is the key to success. Why dictates the How and the What that will deliver results.

There is a certain something that sets really great organizations apart from everyone else. Something that can turn “good” into “great” simply by recognizing it. It’s not a person or a place or a thing . . . it’s a reason.

Today’s medical marijuana marketplace consists of thousands of vendors and hundreds of thousands of patients. It can be very overwhelming to a new or struggling organization trying to establish itself among all the clamor. There is so much competition that even the most prominent of providers face hurdles maintaining a high level of visibility and interaction among the community. This fierce competition validates the need for a greater understanding of how success works, and the key elements to achieving a notable and lasting presence.

There are a thousand books defining success and at least as many strategies claiming to outline the path to greatness, unfortunately most of them miss the most important element, the element that makes everything else fall into place: Why. Why do you do what you do? It seems like a pretty elementary question, but you’d be surprised just how many people don’t have an answer. For the vast majority of the working public, their job is nothing more than a paycheck, which is ultimately a result and not a reason. Marketing guru turned activist Simon Sinek has made quite a bit of noise preaching the virtues of “Why?” and the natural consequences that follow it. In September of 2009 Simon addressed the TED conference and spoke about the great titans of industry and society such as Apple and Martin Luther King Jr. and made the argument that Why they did what they did is what makes them special. Why something is done will dictate how it is done and ultimately what the end result of that is. And the more a person or organization believes in that why, the more profound the results will be for everything that comes as a result of it.

This truth does not apply only to computer companies and social rights activists, it is every bit as relevant to the medical marijuana industry as any other. People might pay attention to you for a bit if you lure them and plead with them, but it won’t last long and doesn’t leave a lasting impression. The way to really attract the attention of people and convert them into loyal members or consumers is to appeal to their sense of why. When you appeal to a person’s sense of why, you create in that individual the association that they are interacting with you not because you asked them to via advertising or promotions, but because they want to due to a shared interest. If you’re Apple computers the reason you’re in business is because you are passionate about design and technology, and as a result your products reflect that and naturally appeal to hundreds of millions of people who are also passionate about design and technology. If you’re a collective owner, you should be passionate about organic medicine and the many positive ways it can affect peoples lives, as a result your organization will naturally attract people who feel the same and you will create a fundamental loyalty that no advertising campaign on earth can compete with. This is what separates ”the great ones”, what allows people to achieve extraordinary results: Doing something because they believe in it. If you’re doing what you’re doing because you’re passionate and you believe in it, you will achieve results beyond that of others who are simply in it for the results.

Why do you do what you do? It’s the question that inspired us to create 420 Web Pros and has led us to the point we’re at today, the industry’s #1 creative firm for web, print and branding! We started doing this because we felt passionate about the medical cannabis movement and the need for a re-branding of the whole industry. We felt that it was time for the world to take notice and recognize the legitimacy of marijuana as a medicine and an economic opportunity. Part of achieving that goal was recognizing and addressing the desperate need for professional design and branding in order to showcase how far cannabis has come since the days of Woodstock and VW buses. Marijuana producers and collectives have become a vibrant element of our local communities that are respected and embraced, and the branding surrounding these organizations should reflect the hard won legitimacy they have earned. Because we started with this philosophy as the backbone of our organization we’ve had a tremendous response from the medical marijuana industry, meeting people and gaining clients from all walks of life across the country. Even we didn’t anticipate the overwhelmingly positive and inviting nature of the reception we’ve received, which stands as a testament to the power of why! Like minded individuals and organizations have flocked toward our unique approach to medical marijuana marketing and medical marijuana web design and have joined our crusade to elevate the medical cannabis industry.

You can always tell the difference between someone who is involved for the results versus someone who is involved for the cause. A person who believes in what they’re doing will try harder, reach farther and dig deeper than any person who is simply being compensated to achieve, no matter the compensation. It is why grass-roots movements work, it’s how small companies achieve what multi-million dollar corporation are unable to do. It’s why two groups who do the same thing can have vastly different results. At 420 Web Pros, we are driven by why. It’s the reason we got in to this business and it’s the reason we’re #1.

Templates are great for making cookies, but will do more harm than good when applied to building websites!

For any organization looking into the design and development of a new website, the temptation to purchase a cheap template and be done with it can be very strong.  It can save a lot of time and some templates can be purchased for very cheap, but before you enter your credit card and buy a canned marijuana web template, ask yourself a few important questions: If our website is the most important piece of marketing and customer relations in our arsenal, what is the advantage of a generic, pre-fabricated design that will ensure our site blends in with the crowd? Isn’t the reason we’re shopping for a new website because we want to improve our online status, not the opposite? Template thinking is more than a bit counter-intuitive.

These questions illuminate two very important points that anyone, and especially businesses and organizations in the 420 industry, need to be conscious of.

1. There is a lot of competition. It’s very unlikely that you’re the only one in your market, which means that you’re competing for the attention of your members or customers. You wouldn’t describe your product or services as common and forgettable, so it’s vitally important that your marketing reflects that same attitude.
2. If you’re going to spend even $1, spend it correctly. There are a lot of template websites online and you’ve probably noticed them.  They don’t look very specific, the design isn’t captivating and they don’t seem very well thought out.  That’s because they aren’t, it’s a cookie cutter solution to a problem of marketing which never works.  If you don’t remember seeing any template websites, it’s because they’re extremely forgettable. The purpose of any marketing campaign is to draw attention, not blend in with the crowd.  When it comes to web design, you’re better off with no website than a completely forgettable one that gets lost among the masses.

Everyone in the Medical Marijuana industry is clambering over each other to win the attention and patronage of a limited number of consumers. Granted, it’s a large number and it’s growing every day but so is the competition. Marijuana web templates may seem like a great way to jump start your business by taking you from nothing to website in the swipe of a credit card, but the unspoken message of a cannabis website template can be lethal. At 420 Web Pros, we’ve made it our personal mission to re-brand and bring a face of professionalism and legitimacy to the Medical Marijuana movement, and we’ve done so by producing some of the best and most cutting edge Medical Marijuana Web Design ever seen. Our design and strategy sets every one of our clients apart from their competitors and the success our clients experience comes as no surprise. We strive to make each of our clients a unique, personally branded cannabis website that gives an impression of professionalism and strength, the exact opposite of what you get with a cannabis web template.

In the world of Medical Marijuana Web Development, you get what you pay for like any other industry. Running a Medical Marijuana Collective is no different from running a nightclub or a restaurant when it comes to marketing: If it looks cheap, people will assume it’s cheap, and then assume you are cheap. Period.

In the year 2011, your website can no longer be a crudely pieced together template of a few images and some text that would have passed the bar ten years ago. In the US alone there are 255 million internet users and over 70 million smartphones. 80% of the population is online and that number grows every day. The internet has become the #1 resource for information around the world and with hundreds of millions of websites filling the web with data, standing out has become a tricky task.  In today’s world, if you’re not making a conscious effort to create a unique approach to your organization’s online strategy including a custom cannabis website, you’re wasting your time. Spending $50 on a generic marijuana web template is a waste of $50, you’re better off taking yourself out for a nice lunch. If you want to grab the attention of your users you need to treat your website like any other vitally important piece of marketing and create a well thought out, custom tailored solution that will impress and inform visitors and ultimately convert them into members or clients.

On average, when searching for something specific, internet users will spend between 7-30 seconds looking at a website before navigating away to another site.  This means you’ve got only a brief moment to make an impression on users before you lose them to another website. What impression do you think a pre-fabricated cannabis web template makes? In those precious seconds that a user may be browsing your website do you really want your message to be: “Hey, our organization is so credible that we spent $15 on our website!”

Of course you don’t.

A bright new era is dawning on the Medical Marijuana Industry, and we're celebrating with a bright new design!

Currently in the United States, there are 16 states with Medical Marijuana laws that allow individuals with a recommendation or license to posses and use Medical Marijuana for the management of their symptoms. In addition, there are ten more states voting on Medical Marijuana legislation this year meaning that by the end of 2011, half the country could be Medical Marijuana friendly. Many of the states voting to approve Medical Marijuana like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois have very large populations and when added to California, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington and the rest, the number of people living under Medical Marijuana laws is booming in a massive way. Even traditionally conservative states like Florida and Texas are voting on legislation this year that is moving them toward Medical Marijuana legalization. All of this activity surrounding Medical Marijuana in 2011 points to one obvious question: What are you doing to take advantage of the Medical Marijuana boom?

In preparation for the Medical Marijuana boom, we began designing out our new site last year and are launching in the coming days. We’ve brightened up our appearance and added a ton of new features to our website in order to better inform and inspire our clients about everything we can do for them to optimize their web presence. We’re launching a new Marijuana Marketing campaign in order to get the word out about just how valuable Cannabis Marketing and Medical Marijuana SEO are to your organization! Our new design represents the bright outlook of the Medical Marijuana Industry and the fresh new face we’re bringing to Medical Marijuana Web Design and Medical Marijuana Branding!

Our never ending effort to re-brand Medical Marijuana and bring a face of legitimacy and confidence to this vital health industry are what have led us to introduce revolutionary tools such as the Virtual Online Collective and become an essential partner in record-breaking Medical Cannabis Promotion events such as HempCon. We’ve helped countless dispensaries, collectives, delivery services and growers alike (check the portfolios, you know you want to) promote awareness of their organizations by combining fresh, contemporary design with the latest and most effective practices in Marijuana Search Engine Optimization and a well planned and executed Medical Marijuana Marketing campaign. As the Medical Cannabis boom spreads across the country in 2011, encompassing another 10 states and countless millions of Americans, the industry will continue to get more and more competitive, making it even more essential to have excellent branding and a promotional campaign that will separate your organization from the rest.

More than anything, our new design reflects the nature of our company and our constantly updating approach to providing the absolute best in Medical Marijuana Branding. As with marketing or design for any industry, a company is only as valuable as it’s ability to predict and fulfill the needs of it’s clients. We’re proud to say that every one of our clients stand out among their competition and they’ll be the first ones to tell you how important proper branding, SEO and Marijuana Marketing has been to the success of their organization. 420 Web Pros makes sure that every one of our clients is optimally positioned to take advantage of the Medical Marijuana boom that is happening as we speak. Whether you’re a collective, delivery service, grower or promoter the stakes are the same: Lead or get left behind. In order to avoid the latter of those two options, it’s time to start asking yourself the question of the year. What are you doing to take advantage of the Medical Marijuana boom?

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!

Please contact us if you have any questions about how 420 Web Pros can help your business or organization get ahead in the Medical Marijuana Industry, and come visit us at our booth at Hempcon Los Angeles, April 1st-3rd at the Los Angeles Convention Center!

420 Web Pros is the medical marijuana industry’s established leader in medical marijuana web design and has attracted quite a bit of attention with it’s Virtual Collective solution for delivery collectives, and are now being touted as the kings of marijuana marketing and medical marijuana promotion after a flurry of recent successes. In fall of 2010, Green Spot Delivery approached 420 Web Pros about a new website and in the process of developing their online presence it became apparent that in order to compete with the huge number of delivery collectives popping up in the bay area, they needed to take it to the next level, past simple web design.  When put to the task of branding the entire collective and making a splash, 420 Web Pros produced a complete marijuana marketing solution consisting of business cards, promotional fliers, product packaging and labeling, a new website and a blogging and SEO strategy to increase the visibility of the collective.  Since launching the new branding Green Spot Delivery has seen greatly increased traffic to it’s website as well as huge enthusiasm and support for the brand and the medicines.

Developing a real, comprehensive marijuana marketing campaign involves looking at both your objectives and your obstacles from every angle and coming up with a plan to implement a cohesive, all encompassing media strategy that ties together intelligent branding, top notch design across the board and a regiment of optimization and properly placed advertising in order to maximize the effect of your efforts.  If you spend $5,000 on a beautiful new Virtual Online Collective with all the bells and whistles, it needs to be part of an overall plan to both utilize AND drive traffic to the new web site or you’re missing a crucial piece of the puzzle.  It’s the same as any other product.  If a large company spends $10,000 developing a hot new product but doesn’t have a plan for advertising it, they’ve essentially wasted all that money because no one will hear about it, which is why large companies usually have entire in-house marketing departments.  Anyone that is serious about opening a competitive collective or cannabis themed business of any sort must consider a marijuana marketing plan! With the ever increasing number of collectives, dispensaries and marijuana themed businesses popping up, your marketing plan needs to be as well thought out and professionally executed as any other part of your business or you’re not going to make enough noise to be noticed and you’ll be shutting your doors not long after opening them.

420 Web Pros can develop a marijuana marketing solution for any cannabis related organization or business.  Our many years in the business and vast experience with everything from Web and Print design, Search Engine Optimization, Point of Sale integration, Professional Branding and Marketing and copy-writing has given us the tools to understand the unique marketing challenges facing medical cannabis and the medical marijuana industry.  A long time ago we decided to focus on re-branding and elevating this industry and the marijuana marketing expertise we now offer to our clients is the result.  There is no one better qualified to position your business, organization or product in front of it’s intended audience than 420 Web Pros; we started as the cannabis industry’s Premiere Web Design Firm and now stand proudly as it’s Premiere Marijuana Marketing and Medical Marijuana Promotion agency as well!
