Believe it or not, Valentine’s Day weekend is very busy for the marijuana industry.
It ultimately seems as though Valentine’s Day is the finest time to try something fun.
Valentine’s Day was on a Monday this year as well as I definitely realized that the marijuana shop was going to be crazy busy. I decided to come up with a contest for the employees working at our weed store. I talked with all of the employees on Wednesday in the morning hours at the weekly meeting. I let the crew come up with all sorts of ideas for the prize for the contest winner. I thought there would be a couple of different ideas as well as then eventually most people would agree on something in particular. Unfortunately, people were all over with their ideas. A few of the crew members had deranged ideas such as sizable screen TVs, Playstation video game systems, as well as $500 cash. Other employees definitely wanted the prizes to be free marijuana products. I couldn’t get the crew to decide on a particular prize, so I picked all of the satisfactory ideas as well as put them all in a hat for a drawing. I chose one employee to draw a random name from the hat as well as that was the prize entirely. I didn’t tell the staff what the prize was going to be. It honestly seemed like a bunch of fun to keep it a secret from everybody, especially when I realized that the employee picked the most fancy prize for the contest. I threw a prize of $500 cash into the hat to make most people excited about this contest. There were roughly 20 ideas in that hat as well as that was the one that was picked. All weekend, the crew worked so much harder to upsell at the register. Sales on marijuana items were about 30% higher than last year.
