The increasing popularity of CBD shows a lot of promise for the continued market growth of this sector. Worldwide, the CBD industry has added an astounding £300,000,000 to the sales of essential oils, a figure that is ever-growing. This is largely due to shifting political and public perceptions and the relative ease of access online to CBD oil and infused goods. Resultingly, selling CBD online is not only lucrative, but it is becoming easier over time. As the market is becoming increasingly saturated, CBD business owners need to make their products stand out from their competitors. This can be done by using high-quality packaging, shipping with premier well-recognised carriers, and giving fantastic customer service to ensure higher rates of customer retention.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the legal and non-psychoactive counterpart of THC, scientifically recognised for its mental/physical health benefits as well as chronic pain relief. Over recent years, CBD has broken through in a wide scope of industries, including health, beauty and cosmetics, food and beverages, as well as private markets.
With post-pandemic consumer behavioural shifts, consumers are turning to eCommerce. As a result, CBD sellers need to develop strong direct-to-consumer skills and marketing strategies, connecting with consumers to offer in-depth knowledge about CBD to enhance sales. Meanwhile, effectively and precisely handling the rapid demands of delivery with CBD fulfilment or third-party logistics.
Because CBD is derived from the Cannabis plant, it faces complex regulation and licensing across the world. International public and political perceptions are improving, yet they are still constantly changing, requiring up to date expert knowledge on legislation, customs and shipping. Furthermore, additional difficulties ensue with online merchant services with payments and processing often being declined.
