Market Insights Snapshot
Starting with the Flower category, the Lolo brand has shown a steady decline in rank over the last four months in California. In July 2023, Lolo was ranked 11th, but by October 2023, it had dropped to 15th. This downward trend is reflected in their sales as well, with a noticeable decrease from July to October. It's important to note that even with this decline, Lolo remains within the top 20 brands in the Flower category in California, which is a highly competitive market.
Looking at the Pre-Roll and Vapor Pens categories, Lolo's performance is slightly less consistent. In the Pre-Roll category, Lolo's rank has steadily declined from 21st in July to 34th in October. Unfortunately, this means that in October, Lolo was not among the top 20 brands in this category in California. As for the Vapor Pens category, Lolo's ranking has fluctuated over the months, but overall, it has not been able to maintain a position within the top 20. This could be a point of concern and indicates room for improvement in these categories.
Competitive Landscape
In the California Flower category, Lolo has seen a slight decrease in rank over the period from July to October 2023, moving from 11th to 15th place.
