In-store merchandising and experiential guidance
Informational signage, menu boards and staff consultations carried the promotional load, with clean visual merchandising spotlighting new arrivals and value tiers across Fire & Flower’s retail network of over 140 stores as of mid-2024. Product stories emphasized formats, terpenes and effects using Health Canada–compliant language; sampling remained prohibited, so education and staff-led demonstrations filled the experiential gap.
