Inanna Manufacturing with the president of Inanna Manufacturing, Jason Klein today on The Green Peak With Richard Zwicky only on Cannabis Radio. White label co-packing and co-manufacturing services for the next generation of cannabis brands. It's all about the Brand. It has been true for every consumer product in history, and it is increasingly true for cannabis as growing legalization and innovation bring exciting new products to market. Branding is how consumers understand a product's value proposition, but for a brand to truly connect with its target audience, the product must first and foremost deliver consistent quality, a repeatable experience and, in the case of cannabis, comply with a daunting list of state and local regulations before it can go from the raw material into the hands of consumers. That's where Inanna comes in. No products for sale or shipping.
