Market Insights Snapshot
The cannabis brand Greybeard has shown varied performance across different provinces and categories. In the Alberta market, Greybeard's Concentrates category maintained a stable ranking in the top 10 from July to September 2023, but slipped to the 12th position in October. This could be indicative of increased competition or shifting consumer preferences. Their Vapor Pens category, however, did not make it to the top 20 in any of the months, hinting at a potential area of improvement for the brand. In contrast, in British Columbia, the brand's Concentrates category saw a slight improvement in ranking from 21st in July to 18th in October, but their Vapor Pens category remained outside the top 20.
In the Ontario market, Greybeard's Concentrates category demonstrated a positive trend, moving up from the 18th position in July to 16th in October. However, their Vapor Pens category consistently ranked outside the top 20, suggesting that the brand could benefit from a re-evaluation of its strategy in this category. The brand's performance in Saskatchewan was mixed. While their Concentrates category fluctuated within the top 20, their Vapor Pens category saw a slight decline in ranking over the months. Interestingly, their Flower and Pre-Roll categories did not appear in the top 20 rankings, which may reflect a need for the brand to focus on these categories. Overall, Greybeard's performance across states and categories provides valuable insights into the brand's strengths and potential areas for growth.
