The following is focused around content marketing and selling Cannabis related products to wholesale B2B accounts . If you are trying to generate more sales for your Cannabis related business as a wholesaler, you’ll need digital content marketing. It will play an intricate role within your overall marketing strategy.
Key Similarity Between B2B and B2C
The key similarity shared between B2B (business to business) content marketing and B2C (business to customer/consumer) content marketing strategies, is that both focus on identifying, and attracting your target audience, nurturing them throughout the buyers journey, ultimately converting them into sales.
Identifying Your Target Audience
One of the most effective ways for Cannabis businesses to identify their target audience is to try picturing themselves as the customer, as if they were viewing things from their position. From there companies can develop the ideal buyer persona for their products.
My advice is to take an approach that places your target customers first. Knowing your key demographic, engaging with customers to learn about their pain points, and knowing what and where the audience is most engaged, will greatly contribute to an effective Cannabis industry B2B marketing strategy.
How to Provide Value to Potential Customers
Provide value to your potential customers by publishing search engine optimized content on your website, blog, or social media. If you help them with something it often increases a sense of loyalty towards purchasing from you with those who may be interested in your type of products.
If your wholesale customer’s needs are always placed above all else, your Cannabis business will probably experience marketing success pretty quickly. Project to your customers that you will be placing their needs first following the tips below.
Generate More Wholesale Purchases Providing Quality Content
The information should be able to answer all of your customer’s questions regarding purchasing Cannabis products in wholesale quantities. Keep in mind that all of this information should be showcasing the key benefits and highlighting the possible advantages your product can provide for them.
- Providing actionable content to your B2B customers; the key to winning their business.
- Regular, frequent, SEO optimized blog articles at intervals of one week or less; keeps your hemp/CBD company on potential customers’ radar while they are shopping to purchase what you’re selling.
- Follow-up content, coordinated with your sales team; can boost your sales to incredible levels.

Successful Content Marketing Is the Same as Successful Selling
The key to successful CBD content marketing is the same as successful selling – provide useful information that can help target customers solve problems and answer questions associated with buying CBD and hemp wholesale. Wondering what to post? As a good CBD wholesaler, you’ll want to publish content on your website or blog with answers to frequently asked questions.

It’s not enough to just publish one piece of content on your website or to post one blog article that answers all (or a few) questions in one read. If you regularly publish content that answers potential customers popular questions in your field, then you will gain your potential customers trust depending on your advice.
