In addition to dealing directly with
customer concerns or compliments,
the feedback serves to help improve
training, products and quality control,
she said.
The reviews are also public-facing
and can be important to marketing,
helping other shoppers choose
dispensaries and products-particularly
in a crowded and competitive market
such as California. According to the
" 2021 Cannabis in America " report
published by Weedmaps, 34% of
respondents said product reviews from
verified purchasers " are extremely
important features when making a
purchase decision on an online menu
or e-commerce solution. "
But online reviews aren't equally
important across all markets, said
Weedmaps Chief Operating Officer
and Chief Marketing Officer Juanjo
Feijoo, who added that there are a few
different ways customers use the site.
Generally, he said, about 50% of
Weedmaps shoppers are what they call
" valuers, " who shop primarily by price.

Online reviews can prompt cannabis
customers to give a company business
or take their money elsewhere.
Monitoring and thoughtfully
responding to reviews can also make
a big difference to consumers who
take the time to give feedback. When
dealing with online reviews, executives
should consider:
* More than one-third of cannabis
consumers rely on reviews from
" verified purchasers " when making
buying decisions, according to a study
by Weedmaps.
Thirty-three percent are looking for a
particular product or store, and 17% are
" conveniencers " looking for the fastest
delivery time or closest location.
MVP: Most Verified Patrons
Verified reviews-published on the
site by customers who have made
an online purchase directly through
the portal-add another layer of
authenticity for products and
dispensaries. They are considered
the most valuable because they're the
most legitimate.
* Customer reviews can help companies
make educated decisions about what
products to make and sell.
* Review platforms often remove
posts they believe are fake, and it
is unwise to create reviews for your
own company.
* Experts say it is important to
check reviews daily and respond to
negative comments.
But Weedmaps also invites feedback
from nonverified users-those who say
they have visited a store or bought a
product but not through the site.
