Effective Instagram Ads and Influencer Tactics For CBD

July 1, 2020
Cannabis

Key Takeaways

Messaging — Focus on the Value That You Bring to Consumers: Standard Dose focuses on the value that the brand provides such as healthy radiant skin and nutrient rich ingredients to raise brand awareness rather than focusing on the different products that they sell. Educate consumers on how your brand is providing a solution to a problem that your consumers are experiencing.

Tactic —  Create Content that Educates Your Consumers: Give consumers a reason to continuously come back to your channel - educate them on various topics related to CBD or host digital events such as at-home fitness workouts or meditation classes. Consumers are looking for more than just product recommendation when they are following brands on social media.

Standard Dose, an online retailer of CBD and wellness products, focuses their digital advertising efforts on Instagram and Display.
