How Green Gate Cannabis grew online sales by $186K in 90 days

The challenge

When Maya opened Green Gate, the store’s website was a single page with an embedded marketplace menu. Shoppers who searched for a product often ended up on the marketplace instead, right next to listings for competing stores.

The shop sat on page two of Google for “dispensary near me,” and there was no app or loyalty program to bring first-time customers back for a second visit.

Why they chose Budfront

Maya wanted to own her customer relationships without hiring a developer or a marketing agency. Budfront’s done-for-you setup meant her team didn’t have to learn a new tool before launch, and the flat monthly price meant no per-order fees eating into her margins.

“Within a month our own website was out-selling the marketplaces. I wish we had switched sooner.”

What they launched

• A new website with indexable product pages and local SEO pages for the neighborhoods Green Gate serves
• A branded iOS and Android app with the same live menu as the website
• Loyalty with points on every order, online and at the counter
• Express pickup with order-ready texts and an “I’m here” button

The results

Within 90 days, online sales grew by $186,000 and the app passed 9,200 installs. Green Gate now ranks first for “dispensary near me” in its part of town, and regulars reorder their usual in two taps.

“Budfront turned our website into our best budtender. It sells all day, every day.”

What’s next

Maya is adding birthday rewards and back-in-stock alerts through automated texts and email, and planning her first big holiday campaign with the Budfront team.
