Tobacco Business

[ T O B A C C O B U S I N E S S . C O M ] TOBACCO BUSINESS [ 93 ] Endless Opportunity Retailers looking to expand their store’s product offerings and grow their customer base should consider alternative products. Just as its founder realized when he was a teenager, there’s a profitable future for alterna- tive products. The selling point for alternative products is its appeal to those consumers who are interested in health and wellness. “The hemp and alternative industry is a new booming industry that is taking science, culture and creativity to a whole new level,” says Groat. “Unlike tobacco, the various ways you can enjoy hemp are endless. At the end of the day, the tobacco and vape industries pair well with the CBD, hemp and alternative markets, and many retailers will be selling all of them.” At the upcoming Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE22) trade show that will be held this January, retailers can expect to find a selection of different cannabinoids manufactured into different products by CannaAid. One product in particular that may be of interest to many current and new retailers within the alternative product category will be the company’s line of soft gels. “Our soft gels contain the highest quality broad-spectrum CBD with vita- mins, herbs, terpenes and other active ingredients that help our customers with everything from sleep to hangovers, mood, sex drive, focus and more,” Groat explains. “Our continuous effort to update packaging and branding will make all of our products stand out with a clean, modern look.” It’s easy for any retailer interested in CannaAid’s products to begin selling them in their store. The company has a wholesale website, ahdist. com , where wholesalers can easily browse the company’s latest products, pay for their order and arrange for shipment. Retailers can also email orders@ahdist.com and request a price list, ask a question about CannaA- id’s products or request a sample box. If you haven’t heard of CannaAid and its products, that will likely not be the case for long. CannaAid has several years of business behind it and a long future ahead of it. While the company is mum on the spe- cifics of what’s to come, it does readily reveal that product innovation will remain a driving force behind its growth. CannaAid wants its products to improve peopleʼs quality of life and believes cannabinoids are the key to reaching that ambitious goal. TB
