Business Challenges

Opening their first location ever, the team at Mood Shine approached AV Social to craft a bold, mood-driven brand for this lifestyle-forward dispensary rooted in intentionality, emotional wellness, and premium products curated to fit every mood.

Mood Shine’s Website Was:

1. Built on Squarespace with generic content and lacked consistent branding and user experience throughout.

2. Not growing in traffic fast enough or ranking for hundreds of products across a wide range of categories.

3. Difficult to navigate, not e-com forward or responsive on mobile phones and hand-held tablet devices.

Mood Shine had the dream—but needed a strategic marketing partner to bring that vision to life digitally and physically.

Print Collateral for In-Store & Local SEO Boost

These cards and clings are linked directly to their Google Business Profile, encouraging customer reviews and reinforcing trust in the local community.

Hyperlocal Direct
Mail Campaigns
