Celebrate Budtenders during B-Week March 21-25

In an ever-blossoming industry where new information develops almost daily, we celebrate innovation on a corporate level, we celebrate position changes, we celebrate technological advancement, but we often leave the faces of cannabis retail out of the conversation. Tether knows that it’s time to celebrate budtenders and their dedication to the cannabis industry, consumer education, and professional development.

 Tether, Marigold’s budtender community, is here to celebrate budtenders and their contribution to the industry during Budtender Appreciation Week, March 21-25, 2022. Through Budtender Appreciation Week, Tether is thanking budtenders for all their hard work and dedication to the space, while fostering their passion for cannabis, cannabis retail, and their professional industry development. We all want to give back to budtenders and remind them how much we as an industry value them and their role.

 Why Budtender Appreciation Week?

 To create the most effective opportunities for budtenders far and wide, Tether conducted a  budtender insights survey. Budtenders were very vocal about their interest in connecting to and learning from each other, they also expressed interest in more educational opportunities to support their ability to help consumers make educated and informed purchases.

 With the insights provided, Tether, and an advisory team of high-powered budtenders and cannabis influencers got to work planning activations that promote connection and education with a fun and friendly atmosphere.

 Meet the BWeek Advisory Committee

 Tether gets budtenders, but everyone needs a little help sometimes. Meet the team of advisors helping to shape Budtender Appreciation Week; Director of Lake City Cannabis Ryan Roch, Four20 Chief Merchandising Officer Amber Craig and budtenders Brian, Hez, Sean, and Nicole.

 The team will be putting their boots to the pavement all week long. Amidst the virtual opportunities, they will be visiting stores across Canada with special gifts and treats to thank the stars of the show.
