Labels, "Capture the Most Attention on Menus”
Retail cannabis is competitive. Leaning into visual merchandising helps create the shopping experience that cannabis customers expect and help blow past the competition.
However, balancing product promoting, product information, space, and customer expectations can be challenging.
In this blog, we'll explore one of the most effective, concise and enjoyable tools used in merchandising.
Our retailers call it the tool that “captures the most attention on our menus” and we call it “Labels".
Use ‘Sale’ and ‘Low Stock’ Labels to move products and get them out the door!
What are Labels?
Labels are small tags that can be placed alongside products. They are a unique and effective way to capture customer’s attention. These tags can draw attention to specific products, making it easier for customers to find exactly what they're looking for. Not only do Labels help shoppers navigate menus quickly, but they also are highly informative.

Increase Engagement
Labels increase customer engagement when placed on cannabis menus. By making it easier for customers to find what they’re looking for, customer will be more likely to explore the different products on your menu. This can lead to increased sales as customers explore and discover new products they may not have known about before.
But don’t take our word for it.
Hear from real retailers getting real results.
“The first thing customers notice on menus is the symbols and the tags that we’ve been using. We started using the fire icon to say if the product is fire or not and the customers always gravitate towards that product.”
- Luke Gillespie, The Weed Store
“Labels capture the most attention on menus. Since it’s the only real splash of color people are really drawn to those first.”
- Taylor Bates, Farmer Jane Cannabis Co.
