In fact, convenience is a commodity people are willing to pay a little extra for. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">The popularity of meal delivery kits is a perfect example. Blue Apron founder and CEO Matt Salzberg recently told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2017\/02\/16\/consumers-pay-more-for-on-demand-convenience-personal-touch.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CNBC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">, \u201cEvery other retail category has been disrupted by e-commerce, and the same is now happening with food. It\u2019s interesting to see all of this innovation happening.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Similar to food and other consumable commodities, on-demand <a href=\"https:\/\/getnugg.com\/\">cannabis delivery<\/a> services offer the same convenience in states where recreational marijuana is legal. If you think avoiding the grocery store is convenient, imagine how nice it feels to bypass a crowded dispensary. Since only a few customers are allowed inside a dispensary at once, you never know how long you\u2019ll be waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Here at Nugg, we want to make life easier for you! Designed to deliver exactly what you want, we consider ourselves the \u201cGrubhub of cannabis.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Our model saves you time and a trip to the dispensary without giving up the expertise of a professional budtender. Nugg\u2019s Cannabis Concierge is available 24\/7 to answer any questions you may have. Before purchasing you can ask an expert about different products, dosages and effects from the comfort and privacy of home. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2\"><strong>Time Is Money<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">America\u2019s legal cannabis market is projected to grow to $24 billion by 2025, and those dollars aren\u2019t coming from the deep recesses of your stereotype stoner\u2019s couch cushions. Today\u2019s upscale cannabis consumers are CEOs, healthcare providers, and busy parents striving to juggle the demands of a fast-paced life. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Streamlining service for cannabis consumers offers the same efficient experience as grocery delivery and other helpful online businesses. Not only does Nugg save you the time traveling to and from a dispensary, a quick chat with our <a href=\"http:\/\/getnugg.com\/concierge\">Cannabis Concierge<\/a> reduces your overall time spent shopping. That leaves you with more precious minutes to spend as you wish.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3\"><strong>We Like Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">One of the major benefits of meal kits and grocery delivery services is the variety they introduce to your dinner table without the hassle of hunting down obscure ingredients. These services make a wide assortment of options available to consumers, no matter where they live. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">For people with limited choices in nearby grocery stores, food delivery may be more of a necessity than a luxury. Similarly, cannabis delivery services allow patients and recreational consumers to sample a diverse array&nbsp;of products from various dispensaries. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Personalization Is Crucial<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">In addition to changes in the way we acquire goods, the shopping experience as a whole is evolving to satisfy consumers\u2019 individual tastes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Take, for example, the monthly wine subscription expertly curated based on your personal palate, or a fashion box full of clothes someone selected to suit your unique style. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Even your dog can get a regular delivery of his favorite treats and goodies. Isn\u2019t it only natural to expect the same personalized service with pot?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">This <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">white paper on The State of Retail<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\"> states, \u201cIn the US, 59% of consumers want real-time personal offers designed especially for them.\u201d Even more than that, though, they want expertise. \u201c78% feel sales associates should have a deep knowledge of the entire product range.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5\"><strong>Lab Tested Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Long-time cannabis consumers who shopped on the black market understood that the flower and edibles they purchased weren&#8217;t lab-tested for purity or potency. But without other options, they had to accept the risk that they were consuming products that could be significantly stronger (or weaker) than they wanted. Likewise, they couldn&#8217;t be sure the strain they just purchased was free of contaminants, like pesticides and heavy metals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">As cannabis use is legitimized and licensed dispensaries open their doors, consumers can trust that they are receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/moderncanna.com\/\">lab tested products<\/a>, ensuring THC levels are accurately labeled and contaminants have been removed. This not only delivers a safer experience, but also a more flavorful one.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6\"><strong>Full-Service Cannabis<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">At Nugg, we couldn\u2019t agree more. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why <strong>we\u2019re proud to offer the industry\u2019s first full-service cannabis experience<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">A Cannabis Concierge is there for you, at any hour, to help find the most effective products for your needs.
