In the Capsules category, Bison started on a high note ranking first in August 2023, but has since seen a steady decline in rankings, falling to sixth position by November 2023.

However, in the Flower category, Bison showed significant improvement, moving from the 45th position in August to 22nd in October, before slightly falling back to 27th in November.
Regarding the Pre-Roll category, Bison maintained a fairly stable position within the top 20, with rankings fluctuating between 7th and 16th over the four-month period. This suggests a consistent demand for Bison's Pre-Roll products. The Vapor Pens category also saw consistent performance, with Bison maintaining a ranking around the 20th position throughout the period. Notably, despite the ranking fluctuations, Bison's sales in the Vapor Pens category remained relatively stable. This could indicate a strong customer base for Bison in this category, which is a positive sign for the brand. Overall, Bison's performance varies across categories, with some showing potential for growth and others indicating areas for improvement.
