Educate & Increase feature engagement
Introducing Tips for Weedmaps Stories.
Creating engaging content doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why we’ve built a brand-new Tips screen into the Stories upload flow — designed to inform, educate, and inspire dispensary owners, brands, and influencers every time they post.
Stories on Weedmaps give you a way to connect with your audience in real time, highlight what’s new, and share the personality behind your brand. But we know the hardest part is often figuring out what to post. Our new Tips screen makes that easier than ever.
Inspiration, Right Where You Need It
When you build your story, you’ll now see a set of swipeable tips with ideas on how to use Stories effectively. Each tip is tailored to help you get started fast and keep your content fresh:
Spotlight a product – Got something new in stock? Highlight categories, strains, and flavors in a visually compelling way.
Educate – Share knowledge that builds trust, from terpene breakdowns to safe consumption tips.
Lifestyle & culture – Post recipes, behind-the-scenes moments, merch drops, or holiday vibes.
Events – Promote your upcoming events, pop-ups, and parties, or share highlights directly from the scene.
Good vibes – Showcase your social impact: equity programs, sustainability efforts, or community advocacy.
Designed to Empower Creators
The Tips screen lives inside the upload experience, so inspiration comes naturally as you’re posting — no extra clicks, no searching for guides. Each card is short, scannable, and actionable, helping you move from idea to execution in seconds.
Why It Matters
Whether you’re a dispensary promoting fresh drops, a brand building awareness, or an influencer sharing culture and lifestyle content, the Tips screen is your creative jumpstart. It’s about reducing friction, sparking new ideas, and helping you get the most out of Stories.
What’s Next
This is just the beginning. We’ll continue to expand and evolve the Tips library with fresh guidance, seasonal inspiration, and data-backed best practices. Because the more confident you are in creating Stories, the stronger your connection to the community will be.
