As some of you may know I am a Web Designer by trade but currently working as an overall Marketing Guru of sorts in the Recreational Cannabis Industry, I've recently been quite busy and would love to share my progress here on Steemit before anywhere else for both SEO and for Steemit.
I have recently become in charge of marketing/design for a few new Recreational Cannabis stores in my state, and I wanted to use this post to share a bit about my newly launched website; www.RainierCannabis.com, a Recreational Cannabis Store in Shoreline, Washington with a second location coming to Mountlake Terrace very very soon.
As many of you know a website is never FULLY complete, there is always room for improvement but I needed to get a new website up ASAP as the old one was simply made by someone outside of the industry so the focus was all off and what not, I have plenty of notes left and pages saved as drafts, I will be working in new pages over the next days/weeks but for now I have decided to launch with what we have in an effort to get the ball rolling on the new marketing tricks I have waiting as well.
Anyways, I just wanted it to be on Steemit before anywhere else so here it is!
Rainier Cannabis has just launched a new website! Check it out below!
Original Website:
New Version of Website:
The DNS is still propagating between servers, but it should go live in the next hour or so.
Plans for the next few days, weeks:
- Add Vendors, Location (Directions), Specials pages.
- Add entire vendor info (products, descriptions, links)
- More Social integration
- Graphic overhaul of most imagery to create a similar icon set to be re-used.
- Marketing additions
PS: Be sure to keep following if you are in the state or planning on visiting! We have more news & goodies coming soon in regards to your wonderful iOS devices. :]
You can also checkout the google view of the shop from the inside here, although it has changed since the photos were taken quite a bit:
Or you can check them out on https://www.leafly.com/dispensary-info/rainier-cannabis-9c29
Toss me a follow if you liked this! I will be posting about other stores and marketing as we go from an insiders perspective and hope to do it quite often. Steemit exclusives and all!
And here is the Instagram post to go with it:

Parts of your new version look significantly cleaner than the old version, but I'm noticing a slight inconsistency: you removed the weed images and the old school hippie looking marijuana plant second page, but changed the front page from saying "Cannibas" to "Pot", with Cannibas being the more appropriate term amongst 420 friendly people nowadays, pot has kind of a dirty connotation as seedy gross weed you buy from your friend Dylan in high school. Was that an SEO based move? (I assume there are more google searches for pot than cannibas)
Do you have much to do with finding vendors and deciding which products to sell?
Website is currently down, but look forward to seeing it for real rather than just the image files you posted above.

It should start popping in up shortly, I have it loading on my end now. Just had a few switches to flip.
I used to have alot to do with finding and selecting product at my last position, this is more of a creative director/ marketing type role but, yes my opinion still sort of matters as I have smoked almost everything I can get my hands on and have a very keen sense for quality products.
And as far as the pot store, yes we are testing some SEO things for local searches, I might swap over to 'recreational weed" soon honestly.. I will let the data tell me whats going on soon though.

Holy shit man, the menu is so extensive, and pretty reasonable prices too. I live in California where you can basically get weed in vending machines and am super envious of your guys selection.

I have a couple things I need to touch up over there but we just need to unleash it as a tool for spreading dash, we need more writers, curators etc.. maybe we can do a dash nation weekly posting or something? Bring Dash nation to Steemit so to speak..
