Gold Standard Solutions is a cannabis-only marketing agency based in Queens, New York, built exclusively to serve licensed dispensaries in the most regulated and competitive markets in the country. Where general agencies apply generic retail playbooks, Gold Standard operates entirely within the channels that actually work for cannabis — email, SMS, loyalty, SEO, CTV, and programmatic advertising — because those are the only channels they work on.
Their approach is built around one core belief: retention starts on day one. Every dispensary they work with gets a loyalty and lifecycle infrastructure designed to turn first-time visitors into repeat buyers. And every result they cite is a documented number from a real client campaign — not a projection.

A complete acquire-convert-retain flywheel — from first impression to lifetime value.
Gold Standard runs AIQ as the central engine behind every client engagement — using it for loyalty management, lifecycle segmentation, email and SMS campaigns, and revenue attribution reporting. Programmatic drives net-new customers through the door; AIQ's loyalty and email engine converts them into lifetime value. The result is a closed-loop growth system where acquisition and retention work as one.
