Could Weedpins really be the new Weedmaps for Canadians

Sep 9, 2021

Weedpins utilizes technology and focuses on the customer experience, unlike their competition. While they provide a great platform for cannabis dispensaries and companies to advertise their products and services, they ensure that customers also have the convenience of finding cannabis delivery services that suit them.

Ottawa, Canada - September 8, 2021 /PressCable/ —

Weedpins is taking over as the internet’s premier cannabis directory. They are an up-and-coming company ready to take on established giants like Weedmaps and Leafly. With unique features that only they provide, Weedpins states that they can confidently give customers precisely what they need.

Their technology-based platform focuses on the customer experience. Weedpins has the customer’s goals in mind as they search for recreational and medical cannabis products and accessories in their area. The platform makes browsing easier by collecting all the relevant information in a convenient, easy-to-navigate space.

Originating in Ottawa, Ontario, Weedpins improves upon the existing directory services their competitors offer. Currently, they are the only viable company that lets the customer compare dispensaries offering cannabis delivery in Ottawa. Weedpins has designed its features to help the customer make smarter purchasing decisions.

What Happened to Weedmaps?

The online cannabis directory giant based in Irving, California, removed cannabis companies listed on their database. Cannabis companies relied on this platform to help customers find marijuana dispensary locations across the U.S. and Canada.

Weedmaps listings also included the location of doctors’ offices, top brands, and cannabis delivery services. The company made cannabis shopping convenient with online order forms on their website and mobile app. They pretty much set the standard for the cannabis industry’s online directory.

In August 2019, however, Weedmaps gave listed companies one year to obtain licenses. This strategy was an effort to control black market activities. The initiative turned out to be a failed attempt, leaving many companies nowhere to go for effective advertising.

Where Did Cannabis Companies and Dispensaries Go?

With limited advertising opportunities by the time Weedmaps rolled out their removal process in August 2020, companies turned to Leafythings Canada. The company strategically launched its Canna-Directory services in February 2020, giving cannabis dispensaries and brands a chance to regroup.

Leafythings focused on serving the Canadian cannabis community. Essentially, Leafythings picked up where WeedMaps left off, helping customers find the most accessible marijuana products in their areas.

Leafythings made registration easier for cannabis companies to advertise their businesses on the new platform. Cannabis brands could easily create a professional business page, complete with logos, product descriptions, operation hours, and contact information.

The Weedpins Difference

Weedpins utilizes technology and focuses on the customer experience, unlike their competition that focuses on the business’ experience. While they provide a great platform for recreational and medicinal cannabis dispensaries and companies to advertise their products and services, they ensure that customers also have the convenience of finding cannabis delivery services that suit them.

Weedpins equally serve cannabis connoisseurs, enthusiasts, and businesses. They assessed where their competition lacks and effectively applies these services to their superior platform. Explore dispensaries, brands, deals, products, accessories, and cannabis delivery in Ottawa with their optimized cannabis directory and elevate an enthusiast’s marijuana experience with Weedpins.

It appears that Weedpins is well on its way to becoming the new Weedmaps.
