The brand improved its position from 46th in January to 39th in April, indicating a positive trend in consumer preference and market penetration. This upward movement is supported by a significant increase in sales, from approximately $319,000 in January to around $375,000 in April. However, in the Pre-Roll category, Sauced's performance was less consistent, only appearing in the top 100 during February and April, with rankings of 95th in both months.

Notably, the brand made a significant leap in the Vapor Pens category, moving from 38th in January to 30th in April, alongside a remarkable increase in sales, peaking at approximately $80,249 in April. This suggests a growing consumer preference for Sauced's Vapor Pens in Nevada. Conversely, the Flower category showed a downward trend, with rankings slipping from 73rd in January to 81st in April, indicating potential areas for improvement or increased competition. The Pre-Roll and Concentrates categories showed mixed results, with a notable entry at 25th in Concentrates in February, yet an absence in January, underscoring the brand's fluctuating visibility and performance in Nevada's cannabis market.
