At the Michigan Flower Expo on August 7th in Lansing, the Meadow team announced our latest feature: Tiered Pricing, also known as Deli-Style Pricing, for Michigan Dispensaries.
This feature launch underscores our commitment to creating cannabis POS software solutions tailored specifically for Michigan dispensaries, addressing customer preferences, local regulations and market nuances. Meadow’s entry into Michigan has been thoughtful and strategic. We’ve taken the time to understand the market and create technology tailored to Michigan’s unique regulations and retail needs.
Deli Style Pricing is just one example of how Meadow is delivering solutions that fit Michigan dispensaries and their customers. This approach, also known as Tiered Pricing, offers a unique way for dispensaries to cater to customer preferences and budget, and enhance their shopping experience.
Let’s dive into what Deli Style Pricing is, how it works, and the benefits it brings to your dispensary.
What is Deli Style Pricing?
Deli style pricing in cannabis retail means purchasing flower that isn't pre-weighed and pre-packed. Instead, a dispensary budtender weighs out loose flower in front of a customer from bulk flower jars.
This method is ideal for dispensary shoppers who are more selective when choosing flower, want to try new strains, or like to get a discount when buying their favorite strain in bulk. Whether you choose a gram to sample or opt for a bulk discount on your favorite strain, deli style pricing offers unparalleled flexibility and personalization.
What’s Considered “Pre-Packed?”
In contrast, pre-packaged cannabis has been weighed and packaged ahead of time. Whether by choice or regulatory mandate, pre-packing flower ensures a clean and quality product for the customer. However, some customers feel that with pre-packaged weed, they may not know exactly what they’re getting and might worry about receiving the best value for their money.
The Advantages of Deli Style or Tiered Pricing
Many shoppers, particularly experienced ones, appreciate the opportunity to receive a discount when purchasing flower in bulk. This method also offers a more personalized experience, fostering meaningful interactions with budtenders. These interactions not only enhance the overall shopping experience but also contribute to increased customer loyalty and retention. For many, especially those new to cannabis, the guidance and insights provided by the budtender can make all the difference in selecting the right flower to suit their needs.
Mix & Match Cannabis Strains Across Price Points
Imagine offering customers the flexibility of mix-and-match pricing across a shelf or your entire inventory with deli-style cannabis pricing, offering unparalleled versatility in your strategy. This approach allows customers to choose their desired strains in varying quantities, combining different products to create their perfect selection. Whether they want a gram of one strain and an eighth of another, deli-style pricing empowers them to customize their purchase, enhancing the shopping experience and encouraging sales across your entire product range. This dynamic pricing strategy not only caters to diverse customer preferences but also optimizes inventory turnover by promoting the sale of smaller quantities from a broad selection.
Enhanced Customer Experience
Deli style pricing provides a more personalized shopping experience, allowing customers to see and smell the flower up close before purchasing. This approach also encourages customers to ask questions about different strains, leading to more informed choices and a deeper connection with the product and the budtender.
Increased Sales and Customer Loyalty
Deli style pricing not only offers flexible purchase options but also fosters meaningful interactions between the budtender and the customer. This personal connection provides an opportunity for rapport-building and upselling, which can lead to increased sales and stronger customer loyalty. Customers also appreciate being able to buy exact quantities, whether sampling a small amount or purchasing in bulk for a discount, all while enjoying a more personalized shopping experience.
Reduction in Product and Packaging Waste
Deli style pricing also helps reduce both product and packaging waste. By allowing customers to purchase only the quantities they need, dispensaries can minimize leftover stock that might otherwise go unsold. Additionally, this approach reduces the amount of packaging waste associated with pre-packaged flower, contributing to a more sustainable retail approach.
