Competitive Landscape
In the California Flower category, Cookies has shown a consistent upward trend from July to October 2023, improving its rank from 51 to 33. This positive trajectory indicates a growing market presence, outperforming competitors like 710 Labs and Time Machine, which have struggled to maintain their ranks within the top 20 brands. However, Cookies still faces stiff competition from brands like Ole'4 Fingers and Cruisers, which have consistently ranked higher. Notably, Cruisers, despite a dip in rank in October, has consistently achieved higher sales than Cookies, indicating a strong customer base. The data suggests that while Cookies is gaining ground, it needs to further boost its sales to compete effectively with these top-performing brands.
