Market Insights Snapshot
James' brand has been a consistent player in the Missouri cannabis market, particularly in the Beverage category. Over the period from July to October 2023, the brand consistently ranked among the top five brands in the state. However, it is worth noting that there was a slight drop in the brand's ranking from 3rd in July to 4th in the following months. This could potentially indicate increased competition or shifting consumer preferences within the state's Beverage category.
When looking at sales trends, there is a noticeable downward trajectory for James' in Missouri. Sales dropped from 69,506 in July to 38,625 in October, which mirrors the slight slip in category ranking. While this may raise some concerns, it's important to remember that fluctuations in sales are quite common in the cannabis industry, especially given the evolving legal landscape and market dynamics. Nonetheless, it would be interesting to continue monitoring James' performance in the coming months to see if this trend continues or if the brand is able to rebound and regain its stronger position in the market.
Competitive Landscape
In the Missouri beverage category, James' has seen a slight decline in rank from 3rd to 4th place between July and October 2023. This drop can be attributed to the competitive performance of other brands in the market. Select has maintained a steady 3rd place ranking, indicating a consistent performance. Drink Loud, on the other hand, has held onto the 2nd place position, indicating strong sales. Wynk and Countdown have also maintained their 5th and 6th place rankings respectively. In terms of sales, James' has seen a downward trend, with sales falling at a faster rate than its competitors. This suggests that James' may need to reassess its market strategy to regain its earlier position and boost sales.
Notable Products
In October 2023, James' top-performing product was the 'Hybrid Infused Lemonade (100mg THC, 16oz)', holding the first rank with a notable sales figure of 488 units. Following closely was the 'Fruit Punch Drink (100mg THC, 16oz)' at second rank, and the 'Hybrid Infused Lemonade (20mg THC, 8oz)' at third.

The 'Fruity Punch Drink (20mg THC, 8oz)' consistently held the fourth position, while the 'Pink Lemonade (20mg THC, 8oz)' fluctuated in and out of the fifth rank. This data indicates a strong preference for higher THC concentration in James' beverages.
