Starting a social advertising agency (Budbloom) for dispensaries, have not found first client.

Hi Weedbiz,

My name is Marshall Chadbourne and I'm a digital marketer. I've had success in previous marketing sectors (specifically music) but am looking to mend the issue of paid advertisement for dispensary owners. Me and my business partner have spent the last few months learning everything we could around being successful with Meta advertisement for dispensaries and believe that many retailers are leaving money on the table. We have found multiple agencies pulling this off for dispensaries and think we can do it better.

We've crafted (what I believe) to be a compelling offer, but have yet to find our first client.

I'd love insight as to what kind of concerns a dispensary owner might have? How would they want to be approached with something like this? Should I lead with explaining our compliant funneling strat? Are you currently running paid ads?

As of now, we want to just produce some low-scale results for a handful of dispensaries and use them as testimonials. We don't want to under-value our services because that harms the market etc etc...but we want to prove very clearly that this works.

Feel free to ask me aggressive/skeptical questions/comments about how you can't get paid ads to work.
