Riding High: STIIIZY’s Amazing 2023 Journey
RECAP TIME!
In 2023, STIIIZY's efforts embodied their core values of Influence, Inspire, Innovate, Win, and Grow. Through influential events and community contributions, we inspired social and environmental change. Innovating in the cannabis market with new products, STIIIZY achieved significant growth and success, reinforcing their commitment to these foundational values.
INFLUENCE
Event Highlights
At STIIIZY, we had an incredible time hosting a variety of events this year, and these were just a few highlights! We kicked off with Rubee Tuesdays at the Laugh Factory, a fantastic mix of comedy and cannabis, in collaboration with Weedmaps. It was a night of unstoppable laughter and chill vibes. Our Smoke on the Water event in Michigan was a hit too, offering an unforgettable and immersive cannabis experience amidst nature.
For the thrill-seekers, we teamed up with the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, bringing an exciting blend of racing thrills and cannabis culture. Not to forget, our Halloween-themed Oasis Spooky Sessions were a spooktacular mix of Halloween fun and cannabis excitement.
That's not all; we had even more up our sleeves! The Chamber of Cannabis Costume Ball was a dazzling display of creativity and engagement. Our Arts, Beats, and Eats: Fly Fiiirst Class event was a cultural feast, blending art, music, and delectable eats. Then there was STIIIZY on the Field, where we all got together for an exhilarating day of Cannabis Kickball.
Our Buds & Bikini #2 night turned the heat up with lively entertainment, and our CannaCruise on the Detroit River offered an adventurous and unique experience. These events are just a taste of how we at STIIIZY are committed to creating diverse, engaging, and community-focused experiences, all about uniting people in the most innovative and enjoyable ways. 🎉🌊🌿
INSPIRE
Joint Efforts Team Initiatives
Our year was marked by significant contributions to the community, totaling over $1.5M. This included a major focus on California, where we invested over $768K, with about $526K dedicated to improving parks and education in Pomona. It's our way of truly enriching lives and giving back to the communities we serve.
Our hands-on approach extended beyond financial aid, with our Joint Efforts team leading several meaningful initiatives like working with our CA state senator’s resource fair to help students going back to school. To honor our veterans we worked with sponsors for the veteran resource fair in West LA.
To make a greener impact we worked with LA Waterkeeper to help create a cleaner Compton Creek and ditch plastic and also engaged in a community cleanup along the LA River in Atwater Village.
Embracing diversity, we took pride in the Boyle Heights Pride Parade. To help the Pacheco community, we joined other partners for STIIIZY's Compassionate Care Event focused on providing medical cannabis to over 100 patients, offering educational resources, food, and support to improve access and quality of life for the community.
STIIIZY's "Petals for Parents" project celebrated Mother's Day by donating over 100 bouquets to elderly women and supporting new mothers through a diaper drive for families in need. These were just a few of our initiatives to really work toward our value to inspire.
Customer Appreciation Days (CADs)
At STIIIZY, we truly understand the importance of connecting with and appreciating our customers. This is the driving force behind our Customer Appreciation Dates (CADs), where we express our gratitude and reinforce our commitment to strengthening the bond with our customers.
On average, we're hosting around 1,628 CADs each month across California, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan and Illinois. For us, it's not just about the number of events; it's about the unique experiences and connections we build during these times. Whether you’re in California, Illinois, or any other state where we operate, our focus remains consistent – to show our appreciation for you, our customers, thank you for being an essential part of our journey.
INNOVATE
We continued to lead in cannabis product innovation, offering a wide array of choices. We expanded the 40's multi-pack, introduced unique products for special occasions like Valentine's Day and 420, and launched the versatile AIO (All-In-One) product in May. July brought exciting innovations, including Crushed Diamonds products and the Peach Gelato pod in a sleek black tin.
In October, we enhanced the 40's product line with Mylar packaging, and November saw the launch of the Super Lemon Haze pod, delivering a unique and flavorful cannabis experience. These highlights reflect our commitment to quality and diversity in serving our valued customers. Explore our range on our website, with more exciting releases to come!
WIN
Reflecting on our achievements, we're excited to share our notable award successes for the last year. NUWU celebrated our innovation by awarding us "Best Extract Winner" for our Grape Soda Live Rosin Badder and the coveted "Consumer Choice" award for that same extract. Additionally, we earned 2nd place for our King Louis XIII infused pre-roll.
Recognition continued with the New Times Best of Phoenix, where we were honored with 'Best Prerolls' and 'Best Cannabis Vape Cartridges'. In another highlight, our Live Rosin Extract Banana Cream Pie was awarded 2nd place at the Cannabis Award Music Festival. These accolades are a testament to our commitment to quality and the robust support of our community, embodying our ethos of 'Win' and driving us to continually strive for excellence.
