Cannabis Research: Budtender Interviewing

Positions available: Two students Do you want to be a part of shaping the future of the Canadian Cannabis industry? We are looking for help interviewing Cannabis Budtenders across Canada. These cannabis experts are one of the most influential customer touchpoints. 1 in 4 customers who enter a store interact with the Budtender and 9 in 10 purchase the products they recommend. That's why we need to understand their perspective on: Their experiences with customers Their thoughts on brands and new product developments How customers are changing as new products are available Their feedback on communication and marketing materials We are in the foundational portion of this research and need help building a database of Budtenders. This will involve telephone interviewing.

‘New-to-Canada’ Finance project

97% of Canadians have a chequing or savings accounts with the average number of accounts per capita at 1.4. This makes Canada one of the most overbanked populations in the world, enjoying the privilege of good access to payment systems and other banking products and services. Canadian banks therefore are faced with one of two (or both) strategies for growth. Because the market is saturated, they can steal customers and share which is currently at other banks (i.e. get customers to switch) or they can tap into new share. In Canada, the two main sources of new share are (i) student/young people or (ii) newcomers to Canada (neither of which have had a bank account in Canada previously). From a marketing and customer experience perspective, what are the banks doing well or poorly to attract the new-to-Canada-from-South Asia market? Which banks are doing well? Which are doing poorly? What are the cultural factors that the banks are not taking into consideration in their marketing? Their operations? Their processes or product policies? What untapped opportunities are there in marketing, operations, product, distribution or channel access?

After this is complete, we would also need help designing and creating dashboards for these two projects: FSM (Food service monitor) and FIVE.
