As a result, we find ourselves in a strong position to reach consumers and gain market share in the fast-growing US skincare market.”
Eugenio Garcia, CEO and Founder at Cannabis Now comments: “At Cannabis Now, we are disrupting the cannabis retail space to introduce first-of-its-kind experiential and education-focused experiences. Khiron shares our commitment to innovation and high-quality products that help improve the consumer experience, and Kuida is an ideal addition to our retail marketplace. We are very excited to share Kuida with our customer base and wide following in the US.”
In addition to in-store programming, the Company will also support the retail pop-up and drive sales through a comprehensive marketing campaign spanning mass media, experiential activations, social media, and influencer partnerships.
