By | August 31, 2018

This week’s Lowdown features the 3rd annual State of the Industry Report: Examining the Cannabis Cultivation Market. This report is timely as our sponsor, Vertafore, has launched a great webinar outlining the benefits of developing niches, and in many areas across the country, cannabis cultivation is an up and coming niche for those interested in insuring both producers and dispensaries.

In his presentation, Riches in Niches: How to Grow Big in Small Markets, Steve Anderson explains the importance of becoming an authority on your niche by (1) developing knowledge (2) being accessible (3) providing education. He also shares tips for creating written content to share with your clients and prospects. So Steve’s message is closely aligned with my mission for the Lowdown – to highlight informative resources that you can both learn from and re-purpose for your own content marketing efforts.
