When / How to use this dashboard

Utilize this dashboard as an overview of who is purchasing cannabis across markets. The tiles on this dashboard range from standing data from the last closed month to trending data over the last 24 months.

Select Demographics:
Select your demographics slice by ‘Generation’, ‘Gender’, or ‘Generation + Gender’ as shown in the image below. Select ‘OK’ once you’ve made your selection, and press the reload button to refresh the dashboard display.




% of Cannabis Customers & %of Cannabis Sales ($)
The pie charts reflect your filter choice from the Demographics filter at the top of the dashboard. The illustrations below reflect ‘Generation’ as the selection. The % of Cannabis Customers shows how the percentages of customers are distributed across the various age groups.

What group should you appeal to if you want to target the largest single group of customers? The % of Cannabis Sales shows the percentage of sales to each group. Are there any mismatches between the percentage of customer groups and the % of Cannabis sales groups? Could that mean that one group is out-spending another per capita?







Customer Count Percentages
This table shows one column for males and another column for females for each state displayed. The generational groups are shown on the left of the image. This data is for the most recently closed month. The darker the shading, the higher the percentage of customer counts. Is there a difference between the states displayed? In any age group, do female customers outnumber male customers?





% of Customers
This chart helps you examine the changing size of the various demographic groups over the last 12 months. Note the calendar months displayed at the bottom of the chart. What group has actually shrunk over the last year? Note the Gen Z group appears to have grown substantially.




Customer Revenue
What is the actual revenue in dollars for each of our groups, separated by subscribed state and gender? This chart answers this question. Note we’re showing Adult Use retails (or sell-thru) net sales (after discounts and before taxes) in USD for the last closed month. It’s clear that male millennials are out-spending every other group in every state. Is there a difference between states in how this is occurring?






% of Cannabis Sales
The chart below shows the selected region (in this case Washington) looking back to January 2018. It addresses the question of how our demographic groups’ percentage of overall sales changed during this time period. Note that the Gen Z group grew by a factor of 18 over this time period. Baby Boomers had a 3% contraction during this period. How should this impact our strategy?






Total Sales and YOY Growth
Did these groups spend more last month compared to the same month a year ago? Year Over Year Sales Growth compares the sales in the most recently closed month to the sales in the same month last year. This bubble chart compares total sales in the most recently closed month by the size of the bubble. The position along the X-axis shows the % growth over the previous year. In this case, 3 of our groups grew and 2 of them contracted compared to the same month last year. Notice the 3 bubbles to the right of the vertical 0% line.







Month Over Month Sales Growth
Did a particular group go on a spending spree compared to the previous month? The lines below show the differences for each cohort over the previous month. For example, this year all groups spent more in March than they did in February. And then in April, they hunkered down. In May all groups did some much heavier spending, and in June one group when to the store and kept right on going!




Revenue vs Customer Count Comparison
Notice the Silent Generation has .4% of total customers and only .3% of total sales. Does this tell us something about their spending habits compared to the other groups? Gen X’ers have a slightly higher percentage of total sales to revenue. Do they come to the store with a fatter wallet? Do the other 3 groups spend less per person, like the Silent Generation?





Average Monthly Sales
Is one group rising up and spending more at a particular time of the year? Notice even the Silent Generation dug a little deeper into their wallets this past spring. This line graph is showing the monthly average cannabis spent by each demographic during the last 12 complete months. Use this data to better understand how much each demographic is spending on cannabis and where there are shifts through the year in who is spending more or less across demographics.
