Adding Promoted Products

Place your chosen products front and center - exactly where customers are looking

The Power of Strategic Showcasing

In your physical store, product placement is an art. Premium flower gets prime real estate in glass cases. Staff favorites earn special shelf space. New arrivals command attention near the entrance. Every placement decision drives discovery and sales. Now imagine bringing that same strategic showcasing to your digital menu - but even more powerful, because you can instantly promote products across every category and collection with a few clicks.

Why Strategic Promotion Matters

Drive Strategic Sales Mix

Instantly boost visibility of high-margin products, move specific inventory faster, and showcase premium offerings across every category. Like having a digital budtender guiding customers to your most strategic products.

Effortless Promotion Management

Simply select Treez product groups or discount groups to promote. Update products in Treez, and your promotions automatically stay current. No more managing multiple promotional zones or remembering to update different sections.

Smart Category Promotion

Create broad promotional groups like "Staff Picks" or "Premium Collection" that work across all categories. When customers browse flower, they see promoted flower. When they look at concentrates, they see promoted concentrates. One setup promotes everywhere.

Dynamic Deal Visibility

Feature discounted products exactly where customers are looking. Create discount groups in Treez for different promotions, and those deals automatically appear at the top of relevant categories. Time-sensitive promotions get instant visibility.

Pro Tip: Think of Promoted Products as your digital merchandising system. Just as you carefully plan in-store displays, use product and discount groups to create powerful digital showcases that work across your entire menu.

Making Promotion Simple & Powerful

Create strategic product collections that drive sales and guide customers to the right products. Simply select product groups and discount groups from Treez to power your promotional strategy.
