Respect My Region is proud to announce the beginning of our third annual West Coast Weed Tour & Competition on August 22nd. Beginning in Washington State, we’ll be taking submissions through December 1st. This year’s tour and competition will once again identify the best cannabis products, dispensaries, and delivery services in California, Oregon, and Washington State.
The West Coast Weed Tour is traditionally a series of private events alongside a four-month-long content campaign that provides exposure to cannabis companies across three states. It is the first and only official tour or competition that identifies the best-of-the-best for products, dispensaries, and delivery services in the world of legal cannabis.
This year, our team of music and cannabis journalists will travel up and down the West Coast to purchase cannabis products from a total of 50 dispensaries and delivery services.
In order to authentically review 150+ products from the three states, we’ve established partnerships with local influencers, budtenders, and buyers, in addition to our team of seasoned reviewers.
The Competition & Tour
150+ products will be reviewed by a select panel of 5-8 RMR judges per state. This group includes budtenders, buyers, consumers, sales reps, and respected influencers.
Products will be rated on a 100-point system that utilizes ten unique categories. This system has been crafted over the course of four years and with the help of buyers, budtenders, and wholesale brokers.
All reviews will be filmed and published on Youtube, plus each item will be featured in an article on the Respect My Region website.
The top 10 performing products from each category will be organized into state-by-state “best product” lists. These will all be featured on the official West Coast Weed Tour page. All content will be promoted on the RMR Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
Entering The Competition:
Cannabis brands who want to enter the competition can email info@RespectMyRegion.com to schedule a call to go over pricing details.
Farms, labs, kitchens, and ancillary companies who would like to set up a custom tour, content creation session, live-streams, or product reviews should use the same email up above or DM our team directly on Instagram @RespectMyRegion.us.
Companies who choose not to enter the competition CAN and WILL still be reviewed if budtenders nominate the brand or a specific product as one of the best in its category.
Respect My Region editors have begun to reach out to the first wave of budtender-nominated companies via DM on Instagram as well as email.
Be on the lookout for a DM or email from us between August 1st and August 30th. We will 100% follow-up with every company to give each brand a fair chance to join in.
The West Coast Weed Tour Is…
Our goal is to create awareness for consumers by highlighting cultivators, strains, brands, dispensaries, and delivery services in an original and informative way. Join us this Summer & Fall of 2020 as we head out for our third year of searching for the best dispensaries, delivery services, and cannabis products in Washington, Oregon, and California.
Deliverables for brands can include cinematic video tours, written interview features, product advertorials, strain profiles, social media graphics, and geo-targeted ads. We can also provide live-streams and podcasts, commercial videos for ads or events, positioning via localized SEO-rich content, and influencer marketing.
