The Chillest Month
Whether it’s the holiday spirit, a break from work, or extra time to spend with friends and family, December sees the highest cannabis sales of the quarter – December cannabis sales are 10% higher compared to October and November. Consumers might be winding down, but cannabis sales pick up as the year comes to an end.
Consumers buy cannabis right before the long break for Christmas, and again ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations. Think about how to target the right audiences based on their buying habits, the trends laid out above, and what deal might appeal the most to them during this time.
