Driving Vitality into the UK’s CBD sector. “I have not witnessed such quality staff training and store marketing support for a CBD range, from any supplier in the industry” - Kyri Potamitis Head of Operations Vape HQ. Vitality CBD is a very well funded company, with a proven track record of building a new category (e-cigarettes) from scratch and taking it to the very top. With an extensive background in the pharmaceutical and vaping industries, our entire team has the experience and expertise to supply not only the highest-quality but most popular CBD products on the market with what seems to be, unrivalled marketing support compared to the competition. Ella Gligor, Marketing Manager for Vitality CBD explains: “A premium quality CBD product is only the beginning. Vitality CBD put an entire support system behind our retail partners. Staff education is key to creating informed and interested customers, and the competent staff that can serve them. Our in-store training and supporting literature have resulted in a 3-fold increase in sales of CBD products compared to existing brands on shelf.” When questioned about the types of in-store marketing they provide to retailers, she responded: “Retail support is crucial in making the products stand out on the shelf, raising the customers’ interest and trust. Our pre-made sales packages offer a comprehensive combo of Wall-units, CDUs, sample stations and other branding options that will improve a store’s presence. Once the retail packs are installed, retailers report that their customers increasingly enquire about CBD & why they should buy it, and then confidently transact with significantly higher basket spend than before.” 96 VAPOUROUND CBD MAGAZINE in- Packaging and dosage is often confusing for consumers in this relatively early industry and different products on-shelf seem to have different ways of advertising the CBD content on their labels for example, some showing a percentage of CBD content in the bottles and some showing the milligrams. Gligor clarified the situation from Vitality CBD’s perspective: “Clear labelling is something many customers have been asking for. All Vitality CBD products come with an easy to identify strength label for High / Medium / Low concentrations, clear CBD content (300MG / 600MG / 1200MG) and colour coded flavour labels, as well as comprehensive instructions booklets included in every box. The exact dosage per drop and per recommended serving is clearly stated on the packaging. In addition, each product leaflet provides a basic understanding of CBD’s biochemical functions, with a more comprehensive Knowledge Centre available on our website for further reading.” It seems that Vitality CBD have covered all elements a retailer needs to maximise their CBD Category, including quality product assurances so Grigor concludes:- “Vitality CBD’s reputation alongside our distributor, Vape Supplier, guarantee the quality and consistency of our products, certified by third-party lab reports from home and abroad, available on our website from the independent testing of every single batch. Consumers can match the batch number on their purchased product to the exact certificate they find on our website.”
