Terpli and From the Earth: Riding the Green Wave in Missouri with AI

How 'Professor Puff', powered by Terpli, is educating customers and propelling cannabis retail in Missouri's booming market.

Challenge: Standing Out in Missouri's Green Rush

Missouri is experiencing a 'green rush' with cannabis sales soaring over $1B in the first six months. In this burgeoning market, customers need education, and retailers like From the Earth (FTE) aim to stand out. To conquer this challenge and seize the opportunity, FTE turned to Terpli's trailblazing AI budtender technology, christening it as "Professor Puff".

Solution: Enlightening Consumers with Professor Puff

Professor Puff, energized by Terpli's AI, integrates flawlessly with FTE's platforms, not only to provide personalized recommendations but also to educate consumers about various product options. Professor Puff's unique interaction captures valuable consumer insights, enabling FTE to understand the demand landscape in Missouri's fast-growing cannabis market.

Results: Exponential Growth, High Customer Engagement and Remarkable Returns

In the first three months, Professor Puff proved to be a catalyst, driving exceptional results:

Steady Growth: The number of users, recommendations, and clicked products continued to grow between 15-20% every month, illustrating Professor Puff's effectiveness and customer adoption.

High Engagement: 78% of customers who received a recommendation from Professor Puff clicked through to products. This impressive click-through rate underscores the platform's ability to capture consumer attention and guide their choices effectively.

Impressive ROI: Professor Puff influenced an average of $58,000 in revenue each month, translating to an astonishing 37x ROI, demonstrating the tool's tremendous value as a revenue generator for FTE across their five locations. In June alone, Professor Puff had over $100,000 in revenue influenced in just a single month!

Future Horizons: Keeping Pace with the Green Wave

The success of Professor Puff at FTE is just the beginning. As the cannabis market continues to boom in Missouri, Terpli's AI will keep evolving, making customer education and personalization key drivers in cannabis retail. Now that Terpli’s impact has been demonstrated, FTE is implementing Alpine IQ rewards systems to further deepen customer loyalty and tracking, while Terpli seeks to revolutionize the industry with the first ChatGPT-fueled edibles recommendation engine.
