How Luxury Cannabis Brand Beboe is Changing the Way People Consume Marijuana
Beboe launched early last year and is described as the “Hermes of marijuana." Co-founder Clement Kwan sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about how the brand is changing the stereotypes associated with cannabis.
Kwan discusses the importance of packaging when making a luxury brand like Beboe. He says the marketing of the products opens up a whole new demographic to cannabis products. The co-founder also discusses the new demand in sales since cannabis has been legalized in California and what the brand is doing to keep up with those demands.
He also reveals Beboe is looking for new ways to sell its products, including potential for brick and mortar stores, but says the company is happy with the direct-to-consumer model and will continue to expand its product offerings.
American businesses that rely on Chinese goods are reacting with muted relief after the U.S. and China agreed to pause their exorbitant tariffs on each other’s products for 90 days. Many companies delayed or canceled orders after President Donald Trump last month put a 145% tariff on items made in China. Importers still face relatively high tariffs, however, as well as uncertainty over what will happen in the coming weeks and months. The temporary truce was announced as retailers and their suppliers are looking to finalize their plans and orders for the holiday shopping season.
