There were 20 ideas in that hat as well as that was the one that happened to be picked
Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day weekend is totally busy for the marijuana industry. It actually seems like Valentine’s Day is the most wonderful time to try something fun. Valentine’s Day was on a Sunday this year as well as I knew the marijuana shop was going to be truly busy. I decided to come up with a contest for the employees at the pot shop. I talked with all of the employees on Tuesday morning at the bi-weekly meeting. I let the people come up with ideas for the prize for the contest winner. I actually was thinking there would be a couple of strange ideas as well as then eventually almost everyone would agree on something cool. Unfortunately, people were all over the place, but some of the crew members had overwhelming ideas like immense screen TVs, video game systems, as well as $500 currency straight up. Other people wanted the prizes to be free marijuana items from our shelves. I could not get the crew to pick one prize, so I picked all of the best ideas as well as put them all in a hat. I chose one employee to draw a random name from the hat as well as that was the prize, no more fuss about it. I did not tell the staff what the prize was going to be either. It seemed like a lot of fun to keep it a secret, especially when I actually saw that the employee picked the most luxurious prize for the contest. I threw a prize of $500 currency into the hat to make the people extremely excited. There were 20 ideas in that hat as well as that was the one that happened to be picked. Throughout the weekend, the crew worked so much harder to upsell at the register. Sales on marijuana items were approximately 30% higher than last year.
