THC Internet Marketing has announced that they have recently published a blog post on finding cannabis friendly email marketing service providers. While email marketing is one of the most effective marketing channels that can be used by cannabis companies, some email marketing service providers are reluctant to take on cannabis businesses as clients and some are totally against doing business with cannabis marketers. To find those service providers that are cannabis friendly, 18 email marketing service providers were asked as to their stance regarding cannabis dispensaries. THC Internet Marketing is a boutique digital marketing agency that specializes in helping cannabis dispensaries with their online marketing needs. More about the blog post can be gleaned at https://thc.im/cannabis-friendly-email-marketing-platforms/.

Davis Winn from THC Internet Marketing says, I asked 18 email marketing service providers about their stance on cannabis dispensaries and other related cannabis businesses. The first thing I did was send them all a message via their websites. Some didn't have contact forms on their websites, so I spoke to a few on the phone. A few of them didn't respond to my inquiries so I left them out of the list. After contacting them, I was able to put them into one of three categories: cannabis friendly; not cannabis friendly; and maybe cannabis friendly.

He continues, While there is a lot to consider when choosing an email marketing platform and there is no one size fits all solution, we feel that Sendlane offers the best balance of features to price with an extremely good level of service. It all depends on your needs.

THC Internet Marketing specializes in email marketing for cannabis brands. They found it exciting to help cannabis dispensaries because of the unique challenges that this kind of business has to contend with. This is generally the result of their ambiguous legal status and the reluctance and sometimes outright hostility of certain traditional marketing channels toward them. The digital marketing agency realized that because of the limited available marketing tools for cannabis dispensaries, this provided them with the opportunity to really hone their skills when it comes to the three main channels that they have decided to focus on. These are visibility, reputation, and customer communication.

For visibility, THC Internet Marketing provides search engine optimization (SEO). However, in view of the unique nature of cannabis dispensaries, they take a different approach to SEO. Also, rankings no longer matter the way they once did. One important reason is that Google personalizes results for each particular individual performing the search. Thus, two people performing the same search will be getting different results. This means that rankings no longer provide the kind of benchmark they once did. Furthermore, 50 percent of searchers no longer visit a company website from the search results. They will just read reviews and then ask directions or call the company on the phone first.

Reputation management is another important marketing channel for cannabis dispensaries. Reputation is even more important for dispensaries compared to other businesses because customers are always on the lookout for the best products. Thus, customer reviews have a significant impact on establishing and maintaining a great reputation for dispensaries. Literally, reviews can make or break sales and the quantity and quality of online feedback has a significant role in a companys bottom line.

And finally, there is customer communication and this is where email marketing is essential. This is truly effective because everyone uses email. Email marketing offers three primary benefits: increase in customer retention; identification and interaction with customers; and ability to target promotions during traditionally slow seasons. Email marketing is a three step process. First, customers subscribe to the marketers list on the site or mobile phone or in store via kiosk. Second, the marketer sends offers and other content to the subscribers with the goal of building loyalty and brand awareness. Third, marketers are able to generate repeat sales.

Those who are interested in cannabis email marketing may want to check out the blog post or the THC Internet Marketing website, or contact them on the phone, or through email.

Where to Find Cannabis Friendly Email Marketing Platforms Explained in New Blog Post - Press Release - Digital Journal

Welcome to YouTube Millionaires, where we profile channels that have recently crossed the one million subscriber mark. There are channels crossing this threshold every week, and each has a story to tell about YouTube success. Read previous installments of YouTube Millionaires here.

ForDion Williams, life is all about faith, family, and football.

Better known asiMAV3RIQ, the name of his flagshipYouTubechannel, Williams has cultivated an online presence that reflects whats most important to him. TheiMAV3RIQ slogan is God first, God bless. He often talks about his wifeaffectionately nicknamed Mrs.iMAVby Williams fanbaseand four children, and regularly welcomes his younger brotherTrent to star in his videos, which are all about the biggest football game on the market:Madden.

When Williams first joined YouTube, it was for a reason many folks born in the 90s will probably recognize: his high school teachers had discovered this newfangled video website, and wanted to see if their students could make and upload content. Like the majority of students challenged to explore the growing world of digital video, he did his project, got his grade, and moved on, forgetting about YouTube.

But then Williams got into internet marketing, and there YouTube was again. He was drawn back by the amount of traffic the platform generated, and realized that hey, people were actually making careers out of this whole video thing. What more, some of YouTubes top creators had gotten where they were by playing popular video games likeBattlefieldandCall of Duty. Williams liked digital video, liked the fact that YouTube creators were turning their content into careers, and liked video games. So, in 2013, he dove into full-time content-making.

In the years since, hes turned away from first-person shooters (which are popular on YouTube, but not his favorites) to play games he really loves, like the aforementionedMadden andNBA 2K. Hes scored brand deals with the NBA, theNFL, and game developerElectronic Arts. Hes grown the behind-the-scenes iMAV3RIQ team from a one-man band to seven people, and has expanded his ventures outside his own channelnamely to a business where he coaches fellow YouTubers, using his experience to help them establish and grow their own platforms.

And, of course, his channel recently crossed the one million subscriber mark.

Check out our chat with this newly crowned Millionaire below.

Dion Williams: Extremely blessed. Theres a lot of people working really hard to get a fraction of that number. So to achieve something like that is extremely humbling. Im grateful for everyone whos supported in any kind of way along the journey.

DW:I first started uploading YouTube videos in high school (it wasnt the cool thing to do back then). I had a TV broadcasting class senior year where I learned to edit and how to work cameras, so my friend and I created a show for our school TV network called Cold Gritz. We would upload each episode just for people at school to watch, but it was cool to see some of them reach random people online who enjoyed them.

AfterCold Gritz,I stopped YouTube, as I got into internet marketingwhich would eventually bring me back to YouTube when I went to it looking for a traffic source to one of my websites. I had no idea that you could get paid for posting and turn it into a career. Long long short, now Im able to support my wife and four kids with the income from YouTube.

DW: The sports games just came natural. I played sports growing up, so my competitive nature is rooted in sports. Me trying to do shooters was me trying to be something that Im not, which is something I noticed is common among new content creators. They try too hard to be some of the people who inspired them instead of staying true to who they are

DW:I think its been a long time coming. We are starting to see a lot of niches exploding, and I think thats due to the overall growth of consumption on the platform. Its not weird or strange to watch a lot of YouTube anymore. And a lot more people are aware of terms like YouTuber and influencer. I think it also helps that gaming and esports are on the rise too!

DW: Yes! YouTube has allowed me to buy back my time by building a team of seven people. Thats given me the time to grow and scale other businesses like my coaching, where I help aspiring content creators get started or seasoned creators scale like a professional. Im always experimenting with different schedules, but right now, I usually start my day with gaming so I can play while my kids are at school. That will be anywhere between three to six hours. And then, when they are home, Ill do more of my coaching stuff. But my wife has been battling some rare illnesses for the last few years, so my work days can go south quick if I need to help her. But it helps to have a team because I only have to be part of the recording. After that, the rest is handled by my awesome team. Thats a long ways away from the early days where it was me doing everything and uploading up to 15 videos a day.

DW:You know when someone does something nice for youHow you just want to return the favor? Like, if they give you a gift, you cant wait to give them one back? Well, thats how I feel about Jesusexcept its kinda hard to give a gift to The Creator of the universe. So I give Him one of the few things I can give, and thats glory. Im enternally grateful for Jesus and what He did on the cross for us.

DW:Im big on community and family vibes. One of my strengths is the ability to never lose focus of the individuals that make up the million subscribers or the millions of views. Im obsessed with the idea that every person watching me has a story full of ups and downs, insecurities and struggles, preferences and opinionsand so I do a lot of time talking and listening to my audience. Its crazy how most of the time you dont even have to reinvent the wheel to stand out. Just ask your people want they want, and then give it to them!

DW:Reaching people and getting comments on how Ive been able to help them. Im abnormally addicted to testimonials from people Ive been able to help in any way. I set up a specific email for people to email me questions or send testimonials, and almost every time I go through it I end up crying, lol.

DW: Oh yeah! Tons of cool brand deals and tons of merch sold! Its still crazy for me to meet people when Im places and see them wearing our stuff! Some of my favorite brands to work with have been the NBA and NFL, Hot Pockets, EA, and NBA 2K because they put me in their video games.

DW: Continue to grow and expand my library of channels that Im building and continue to help coach and mentor as many people as I can to help them create bigger results that I have!

Avoid using websites that do not ask this, since the quotes obtained may not be relevant to the client's location.

Have the car's documentation nearby. Providing correct info about the car's model and its safety features is a must. This is why clients should keep documents about the car close when getting online quotes.

Avoid websites that ask for sensitive, financial information. Do not provide information like Social Security Number to websites claiming to offer quotes. Insurance providers do not need that in order to provide quotes.

I have a dog; other than my girlfriend, my dog is the love of my life. Problem is, my dog gets distracted super easy. Throw something shiny or squeaky down the hall and my dog is lost for hours.

Marketers and e-commerce pros can be like distracted dogs. Every year or two the shiny new toy comes out and everyone gets distracted. People forget about ROI, forget about real value, forget about what works and all of a sudden, some magical new platform will cure their problem.

TikTok is the internets new shiny toy, offering all kinds of new optionsthat we kind of already have. Granted, kids are using TikTok because kids love dynamic video, but problems abound, especially when it comes to monetizing TikTok in any sort of substantial way.

I preach value, day and night, value, value, value. Facebook is a much more sophisticated tool, and while it has serious issues of its own, we can gauge what does and does not work. Native ads are on the rise because of targeting and cost. These might not sound as sexy as some random media buyer claiming s/he can create a star-spangled TikTok campaign for $40,000 thatll wow 16-22-year-olds, but when the retailer looks at results, itll be severely disappointed.

Ignore the shiny new toy and remember what matters. No one in the 12th century could fathom indoor plumbing let alone the internet, but basic business principles still apply. Buy for a dollar, sell for two. However, you promote, make sure it makes cents and dollars. Snapchat is practically a forgotten relic, but it has broad appeal, followers and a measurable algorithm. Lets not crown TikTok just yet.
