Halloween is always one of my favorite times of the year.
- It is such an unusual holiday.
I like that it’s not about presents or a big meal. Halloween is just about socializing. My family decorates the house, dresses up in costumes and hands out candy. At work, I encourage the staff to dress up on Halloween . I manage a boutique cannabis dispensary. I’ve worked there for the past three years. My staff consists of eight employees. We are a great team. Everybody works hard and is a valuable asset. I hoped all of the crew would get into the spirit of the holiday. I asked everyone to contribute ideas. We came up with Halloween candy cannabis edibles including gummies, cookies, chocolates and brownies. We also gave away a dispensary T-shirt with every purchase. We offered some great deals on vapes and cannabis infused bath bombs. Our specials drew in a sizable crowd. We did a really good business. A lot of our customers were willing to hang around in the vape lounge. They were all dressed in costumes. We gave away prizes for best costumes and did some drawings for free swag. Now I’m already looking ahead to Thanksgiving and the Christmas holidays. We’re planning to decorate the dispensary and include a Christmas tree. I not only want to increase sales but bring new people into the dispensary. I want to get past the stigma against cannabis and introduce the healing properties to more and more people. The holidays are the perfect time.
