MONCTON, New Brunswick--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX VENTURE: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc. (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a leading licensed producer of cannabis, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Lift & Co. Corp ("Lift & Co.") (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF) to support the launch of Canada’s first branded cannabis educational program via Lift & Co.’s CannSell retail training program.
CannSell’s retail certification program, developed in partnership with MADD Canada to promote the responsible sale of cannabis, is available in seven provinces and one territory. CannSell stands as the sole mandatory, provincially-approved cannabis training program for all Ontario retail workers. Organigram is the first licensed producer in Canada to partner with Lift & Co. on educational content on the platform focusing on the Company’s unique growing processes and product attributes.
“Education and public safety are top priorities for Organigram. We’re pleased to partner with Lift & Co. on this module, which will ensure that thousands of front-line retail staff receive up-to-date and essential information about safe consumption, high-quality cannabis products and important regulations,” says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. “It’s no secret that producers face challenges reaching consumers in this highly-regulated environment; connecting with and educating retail staff provides a unique opportunity to bring our brand messages to life right in the places consumers are making purchase decisions.”
The rollout of the Organigram-branded module, which began in June, will deliver digital training on Organigram’s unique, three-tiered growing methodology, best practices and Edison Cannabis Co. and Edison Reserve products to budtenders across Canada.
“We opened up our CannSell platform to allow select brands, such as Edison Cannabis Co., to develop digital education modules for retail budtenders that showcase their brands and contribute to the education of consumers,” says Matei Olaru CEO Lift & Co. “This module will allow Organigram to connect directly with budtenders at any time and educate retail staff about their product attributes, best practices and stay top-of-mind with budtenders - the only people in the value chain speaking directly with consumers.”
