Encourage Product Trial With Purchase-Based Incentives
Cannabis consumers have more choices than ever. When shoppers are considering an unfamiliar product, a promotional incentive can give them an additional reason to try it.
Rebate campaigns help brands connect promotional rewards with qualifying purchases while creating opportunities to engage consumers beyond the transaction.

- Support Product Launches — Introduce new products through targeted purchase-based promotions.
- Build Consumer Relationships — Collect permission-based consumer registrations for future engagement.
