Last year, I took ownership of a marijuana dispensary.
I had taken all the classes necessary to become an owner.
I went to classes that were offered by business consulting companies. I took online classes and studied the laws. After six months, I was ready to work with a medical marijuana business application service. They helped apply for all my paperwork, tax forms, company name and licenses. Once I completed all this paperwork, I was almost ready to open my cannabis dispensary. The only thing left to do was think about my business marketing plans. I knew nothing about business marketing and I had to find another part of the marijuana business consulting company that offered web design and marketing. Once I talked to the business marketing department, I wondered how much time this was going to take. I would be opening my medical marijuana dispensary in a few short weeks, and I needed this to be done soon. When I talked to the website designer, she promised to have the website started and I could have a peek in less than a week. She asked about my product and if I was offering online ordering with pickup and/or delivery. She also wanted a picture of me for on the website, and I had to answer a long list of questions, but a week later, I was truly pleased with my website, and she was getting ready to start an online marketing campaign complete with ads on social media. The marketing service they offered through the business consulting company was more than I could have imagined.
