Dispensary Blog Post Ideas: News Updates
Is rec legalization hitting the ballot in your area this November? Have changes been made to your state’s marijuana program? Any big milestones in the industry you’d like to share?
Sharing news that impacts your customers is a great way to build trust. You can also share local news that impacts your community, such as upcoming food drives or information about other community programs.
The Basics
Cover the basics! Share what you know about THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids, as wells as terpenes, consumption methods, product types, and more. There’s a lot of misinformation out there. Make sure that your customers are knowledgeable about what you’re selling and how it can affect them.

Local Posts
One way to connect with your customers and to boost your local SEO (so people searching for a dispensary in your area find you) is to create posts about local events or businesses.

Lifestyle Posts
You can add your dispensary’s personality to your blog post in lifestyle posts. If you’re focused on wellness for example, you can share some yoga pose and strain pairings or highlight topicals for post-exercise.
