Launch of Old Pal to Compete with the Black Market
Curate Menu to Catalyze Growth Based on Market Maturity & Profile
Proactive Menu Shift Towards Vapes Based on Emerging Trends
Launch of LEUNE to Capture Emerging Customer Segments
Maximize Lift from Promos by Measuring Price Elasticity
Optimize Customer Communications to Drive Retention & Resurrection
Relevant Case Studies
● Consumer surveys indicated loss of wallet share to black market
● Old Pal launches in May 2018 via collaboration with suppliers
● Today Old Pal is #1 Flower brand on Eaze
● Historically, flower has been king
● Late 2017 sales indicated a broad shift of preferences towards vaporizers
● Eaze’s Menu Team adjusted menu assortment proactively to capture emerging vape demand
● Eaze observed that menu breadth had a different impact on fill rate & revenue lift depending on market maturity
● Menu breadth has a larger impact on operational efficiency at small scale
● Eaze implements tiers for menu structure based on market maturity
● New product was needed to capture rising demand in female segment
● However, dominant segment remains male, so product needed broad appeal
● LEUNE launches in Nov. 2018 via collaboration with suppliers
● Today, LEUNE is #3 All-in-One on Eaze
● Promo data showed that higher discounts didn’t necessarily result in higher lift
● Eaze Analytics dove into effect of historical price changes on demand
● Promo lift has increased substantially and continues to improve
● Data shows that cannabis consumers react differently to conventional customer lifecycle management practices
● Eaze built proprietary CLM tools tailored to customer segments
● Significant drop in unsubscribe rates & rise in engagement
