The provided source material offers detailed information regarding first-time customer promotions, loyalty programs, and daily deals available at specific cannabis dispensaries operating in Arizona and Michigan. The data highlights a competitive landscape where dispensaries utilize aggressive introductory discounts—often structured as "Buy One Get One Free" (BOGO) offers or significant percentage discounts—to attract new consumers. Additionally, the sources document various ongoing savings opportunities for specific demographics, such as veterans, seniors, and medical patients, alongside structured rewards programs designed to encourage repeat visits. While the specific offers mentioned are subject to change and inventory availability, the general trends indicate that substantial savings are accessible through sign-ups for text and email alerts and participation in in-store loyalty programs.
First-Time Customer Promotions
New customer incentives are a primary focus for the dispensaries detailed in the source material. These deals are generally structured to provide immediate value, often requiring no prior purchase or medical card for recreational customers.
Recreational Customer Incentives
For recreational users (21+ with valid ID), the most aggressive offers appear in the Michigan market. Source [4] details a promotion at Weedys in Monroe, Michigan, offering first-time customers 50% off, with potential savings of up to $100. The source explicitly notes that this deal "won't last forever," suggesting a limited-time offer structure common in the industry.
In Arizona, the approach varies by location. Source [5] outlines a "Return & Burn" program for Pondy customers, valid during the first three visits. This tiered system offers escalating rewards: * First Visit: Buy One Get One (BOGO) on 1/8oz of in-house flower or 1g of Canamo concentrates. * Second Visit: BOGO on 1/4oz of in-house flower or Canamo concentrates. * Third Visit: BOGO on 1/2oz of in-house flower, Canamo concentrates, and 500 loyalty points.
Lume Cannabis Club (Source [6]) offers a distinct "First Time Customer Rewards" program where new customers can choose a free product on their first three visits. The options include an 1/8th of flower, 200mg gummies, or a 1g 510 distillate cartridge. However, these rewards come with specific conditions, including a minimum spend of $20 to redeem and an expiration window of 60 days after receipt.
Medical Patient Specifics
Source [1] and Source [2] provide specific data regarding medical patient discounts. Silver Sage Wellness (Source [1]) offers first-time Nevada medical patients 20% off all Remedy products (excluding sale items) with any purchase, provided they sign up for rewards. Out-of-state medical patients receive 10% off their entire order. Source [2] notes that Curaleaf offers medicinal patients with a valid card 30% off their purchase every day, though this is not exclusive to first-time visits.
Loyalty Programs and Ongoing Savings
Beyond initial introductory offers, dispensaries rely on loyalty programs and daily specials to maintain customer retention.
Loyalty Rewards Structure
Lume (Source [6]) promotes a comprehensive app-based rewards system where customers earn points redeemable for 18 different rewards. The program allows users to track points and access exclusives. Similarly, Silver Sage Wellness (Source [1]) offers a rewards program where first-time customers receive 20% off and double points on their first three visits. They also utilize a "VIP specials" system based on product preferences, accessible via text and email sign-up.
Daily and Weekly Deals
Source [1] provides a weekly discount calendar for Silver Sage Wellness, featuring: * Mondays: Industry Mondays – 40% off with an active agent card. * Sundays: Holy Sundays – Double Points. * Tuesdays: Senior Appreciation day (10% off entire order for adults 65+).
Source [3] lists specific daily deals for Trulieve in Arizona, which appear to be highly dynamic. Examples include "Terp Tuesday" (30% off concentrates), BOGO offers on various brands (DRIP, WIZARD TREES, SELECT, etc.), and specific price drops on flower and vapes. Source [5] mentions an "Everyday Deli Deal" and "Daily Exclusives" for Pondy, including a "Spend $75, Get a Free Gift" promotion.
Demographic and Operational Discounts
Several sources identify specific savings for distinct groups and operational methods for accessing deals.
Veterans and Seniors
Source [1] explicitly identifies discounts for veterans and seniors. Silver Sage Wellness offers a senior discount of 10% off the entire order (excluding sale items) for adults 65 and older. Source [2] mentions that "many retail locations also have special deals and promotions for veterans, seniors, and people with disabilities," though it does not specify the discount amounts for other locations.
Sign-Up Requirements
A common requirement for accessing exclusive deals is digital engagement. Source [1] advises customers to "sign up for text and email updates for VIP specials." Source [2] confirms that daily deals are sometimes listed on websites but often require customers to "ask" or "call ahead." Source [3] explicitly labels certain discounts as "REWARD MEMBERS ONLY," indicating that membership in a loyalty program is a prerequisite for the deepest discounts.
Geographic and Inventory Considerations
The sources highlight that deal availability is geographically specific and subject to change.
- Arizona: Deals are noted for the Phoenix metropolitan area, including Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa (Source [2]). Trulieve (Source [3]) and Silver Sage Wellness (Source [1]) operate within this region.
- Michigan: Weedys (Source [4]) operates in Monroe, Michigan, catering to consumers from Indiana and Ohio.
Source [1] and Source [2] both issue disclaimers regarding the volatility of these offers. Source [1] states, "Deals subject to change due to inventory," and Source [2] advises consumers to "check with the dispensary about current deals before visiting."
Conclusion
The landscape for first-time dispensary customers in the Arizona and Michigan regions is characterized by high-value introductory offers, including up to 50% off or extensive BOGO deals. Consumers can maximize savings by joining loyalty programs, which often provide tiered rewards over the first three visits. Regular savings are available through daily specials and demographic-specific discounts for seniors, veterans, and medical patients. Due to the dynamic nature of cannabis retail, consumers are advised to verify current promotions directly with dispensaries or through official digital sign-ups before visiting.
