ANC Has What No Other Cannabis Company HasTheir own set of Company Owned Dispensaries. 3 up & running. A rumored discussion of 30 more . 600 Indigenous Bands across Canada to potentially tap into.
What are the obvious advantages ?
1) Zero marketing & sales expenses.
2) Guaranteed transfer pricing for a guaranteed stream of monthly revenue. All other producers have to fight for dispensary shelf prices and location.
3) No competition which is a huge advantage!, Other producers often have to offer price reductions to compete. Once that happens future pricing is never the same! Price reductions ALWAYS result in a 'race to the bottom'!,, These price fluctuations severely affect cash flow & end up in negative results!
4) Other producers have severe challenges with regards to forecasting Sales $$$ through multiple channels. This directly impacts operational issues right back to the production capacities PLUS other producers cannot track sales and product trends.. Either by location or region. Sales is the only measurement without seeing what is happening on the streets.
5} Cutomer experiences are better managed when the stores are company owned. With a potential of 600 Band locations consumers will know what to expect regardless of which reservation they might visit.
6) Standardized a Point of Sale system on corporately owned stores are a huge advantage. Wal-Mart knows EXCTLY what items have been sold and Just In Timedeliveries are initiated even without a store manager having to place an other.
7} Negotiating POWER. For non ANC produced cannabis products ANC will have the buying power to negotiate the best pricing available. A huge PLUS is that IF the sales forecast for some stores or regions means rg
hat ANC can move product from one store to another seamlessly.
Think of all the issues as to why multiple organization are going bankrupt as the badgers like to point out. Reduced expenses are the KEY to running a profitable business.
Fewer legislative issues are also a huge benefit. By only selling on Reservation Lands allow ANC an abilyu to move and/or adapt quicker than its competitors.
There is NO restriction on ANC's ability to procure additional products like patches etc to supplement their own products
Think about it.
Loblaws pushes Presdents Coice. Walmart has Great Brands. Canadian Tire has Amastercraft.
So ... for all the badgers WHO needs a Sales License?.
A Health Canada and a Sales License only makes the overall opportunity larger!,,
