What is Green Wednesday? Fun Ideas to Boost Your Dispensary Sales
Move over, Black Friday—Green Wednesday is here to light up the holiday season! Known as the ultimate cannabis shopping day, Green Wednesday falls right before Thanksgiving. It's the day when your customers stock up to enhance their Turkey Day festivities—whether that means sparking joy with pre-rolls, mellowing out with edibles, or sharing a good vibe with friends and family.
As a dispensary owner, this is your chance to grab attention, excite customers, and set the stage for repeat business. Let’s make this Green Wednesday unforgettable with these fun and engaging marketing ideas!
1. Ditch Boring Deals—Make Your Discounts POP!
Why settle for bland discounts when you can go big? Try:
- BOGO Bonanza: Buy one, get one 50% off on select products.
- Mystery Bags: Create surprise bundles with different product combos—perfect for adventurous shoppers!
- Early Bird Specials: Reward the early risers with exclusive deals during the first hours of Green Wednesday.
2. Curate a Holiday “Buzz” Menu
Get festive! Highlight limited-edition, seasonal products that your customers can’t resist, like:
- Pumpkin spice or cranberry-flavored edibles.
- Cannabis-infused mixers for DIY mocktails or cocktails.
- Pre-made gift sets that make holiday shopping a breeze.
3. Turn Social Media into Your Hype Machine
Get your followers excited well before Green Wednesday with these ideas:

4. Bring the Party to Your Dispensary
Why should shopping feel like a chore? Make your dispensary the ultimate Green Wednesday destination!
- Live Music or DJs: Keep the vibe lively while customers browse.
- Games & Prizes: Spin-the-wheel discounts, raffles, or product giveaways.
- Canna-Refreshments: Offer cannabis-infused mocktails or partner with local vendors for munchies.
5. Go Digital for Easy Shopping
Not everyone wants to brave the crowds. Make it easy for customers to shop from anywhere:

- Fast Pickup & Delivery: Promote curbside pickup or free delivery for Green Wednesday orders.
6. Give Back to the Community
Green Wednesday isn’t just about selling—it’s a chance to spread good vibes.
Host a food drive or donate a percentage of your sales to a local charity.
Educate your community by sharing how cannabis can be responsibly enjoyed during the holidays.
7. Offer Something Totally Unique
Want to really set your dispensary apart? Expand your offerings beyond the usual cannabis products with CannaVinus—a wine-inspired, alcohol-free beverage that pairs perfectly with cannabis.
Why CannaVinus? Not only does it offer a luxurious sipping experience, but it’s also a great option for customers looking to elevate their cannabis consumption. Plus, its unique flavor profile makes it a conversation starter for holiday gatherings.
Promotional Idea: Create “Holiday Pairing Packs” with CannaVinus and cannabis products designed to complement its terpene-rich flavors.
