You can open your own shop or sell your products online via an E-commerce. Sell under an existing brand or buy products on your own, under your own brand. Here are some tips on how to do it right.
Precautions to take when buying CBD products
It is important to always be aware of the provenance and quality of the products you wish to purchase. The CBD market is vast. The products sold in shops or online do not always meet the legal requirements for sale. It is therefore essential that you find out as much as possible about the brand from which you wish to purchase.
- Check the provenance of the product and avoid scams:
Given the legal complexities surrounding CBD, there are certain rules to follow when selling CBD. It is not uncommon in the industry for people to be duped by dealers of poor quality products or products that do not follow the rules. Some products contain too much THC, which is not legally allowed. Sales to minors are also prohibited. These are all factors to be taken into account and to be informed about before you start. It is important to respect these rules or you risk being in breach.
To find out where the products come from, you can check the original invoice from the first sale to the distributor. It is best to buy from reputable brands and shops that have certificates of analysis (COA) and whose products are analysed in a laboratory.
- Choose quality products:
Make sure that the products are laboratory certified and do not hesitate to go and check this information. This will give you proof of the quality of the CBD products sold.
In the case of oils for example, the method used to extract CBD from the cannabis plant is extremely important. The quality of the product depends on it. Carbon dioxide (CO2 ) extraction is by far the most optimal and preferred method for making CBD products. It ensures the quality and purity of the extracts. This technique allows high concentrations of CBD to be obtained while retaining a range of other cannabinoids such as CBN, CBG, CBC, terpenes and flavonoids. This allows you to take full advantage of the so-called entourage effect. Find out what active cannabinoids are in the CBD oil you buy.
The oil blend base is also something to consider. A CBD oil blended with a neutral blend of coconut, for example, will be of lower quality and therefore lower rated. It will be less nutritious than hemp seed oil which is a superfood rich in omega 3-6-9.
Regarding the flowers and resins, they are generally the result of a long process of crossbreeding to obtain hybrid flowers with a high concentration of CBD. The crossing is done by expert cannabis growers. It is important to choose a grower who selects his flowers meticulously and whose THC content is below 0.2%, in order to comply with European law. Note that it is always a huge plus to work with growers who are organically grown and treated without pesticides or herbicides.
Sourcing from existing brands
The advantage of sourcing from existing brands is that they offer you a turnkey solution. You don't have to worry about the manufacturing of the product. On top of that, you benefit from the expertise of professionals in the CBD field. It also makes it easier to start selling CBD products without having all the knowledge. You can choose between two types of wholesale purchases. By being a franchise partner of a brand or by being a white label reseller. In both cases, this takes the pressure off you. You don't have to deal with the stress and costs of production, manufacturing defects, returns and other issues that manufacturers face. It's also your supplier who takes the burden of thinking about new product development.
- Franchisee Partner
Being a physical or online franchisee shop allows you to market another brand's products. It's a ready-made solution, you don't have to worry about anything but selling your CBD products. The product design, packaging and merchandising have already been thought of by the brand in question. These products usually already have a certain reputation. All you have to do is to promote your shop or e-shop where you sell the products. Brands that offer this alternative usually have fairly low wholesale prices and guarantee good quality.
As a franchise partner, always make sure that the products are laboratory certified. Do not hesitate to go and check this information and test the products before embarking on this adventure.
- White label reselling
White labeling is a product designed by another company, but which you can sell under your own brand.
This method has many advantages. It saves you time and money, as it does not require large production budgets.
Instead of having to invest in research and development of the product, you market it directly under your own brand. Without having to worry about production, this allows you to spend more time on your sales and customer retention. What you spend on marketing your own brand is much less than if you had created the product yourself. You invest in beautiful labels and packaging before selling your product locally or in an online shop.
The steps when you want to open a shop or an e-commerce:
In summary, to sell CBD and open your physical or online shop it is essential to have quality merchandise. Just buy from the wrong dealer and your business will be in jeopardy.
- Find your sales location or platform
Start by finding the place where you want to sell. An online shop may be easier to manage than you think. You don't necessarily have to be skilled in coding to create an e-commerce site. There are many sites that have ready-made templates and applications that will help you increase your sales. If you opt for a physical shop, be careful about the location of your business. It is preferable that it be in a place where there is a lot of traffic, in a commercial centre to make it easier for people to come and visit.
- Find the right products
Research the products you want to sell. Don't be afraid to research consumer demand, popular CBD products and less popular ones. Start by choosing CBD products that can be sold easily. Compare prices and get inspiration from competitors. To avoid risks, test the products yourself first to make an opinion and select the best ones.
- Choose the right partners
Sign a contract with a reliable supplier. It is important to agree on the terms and conditions of the contract with your supplier before you start. You need a reliable supplier from whom you can buy with confidence. Your supplier should offer quality products, 24-hour service, efficient customer service and on-time delivery.
- Providing choice
There are currently a variety of CBD products on the market, in many different forms. When you start selling CBD, it is important to offer your customers a wide choice. What they can't find in your store, they will look for elsewhere. It is therefore necessary to have well-stocked shelves and to offer various forms of consumption: oils, cosmetics, bath balls, flowers, resins, capsules, candies, CBD crystals...
- More than a product, offer an experience to your customers
All these products can be found everywhere at CBD retailers. So offer your customers an experience when they come to buy from you. Today, a company no longer builds its reputation solely on the basis of its products or services. The image it projects is also a huge success factor that will increase its reputation. The brand image is the representation of a company perceived by the consumer. Brand messages are conveyed through the media, whether it is on the internet, in the media or in print. Consumers need to be able to identify you. Quickly and easily.
If you decide to work under a white label, create a strong brand. Work on your packaging and your logo. But also remember to take the time to create links with your customers and build loyalty.
- Promote your products
Once you have worked on your packaging, set up your shop or e-shop, make as much noise as you can to get a foothold in the market. Advertise your products if you have decided to sell them under white label. Social networks are a good way to advertise without spending too much money.
