How do brands appeal differently to men and women in California? We looked into brand appeal by gender for top Inhalable brands in California (based on sales in the last 6 months), and compared indexes. For example, women make up 37% of sales for Pre-Rolls. If a brand sees 50% of its sales to women, we would say that brand over-indexes female, particularly an index of 50%/37%, or 135. In California, we found a lot of differences between the brands that women preferred and the brands that men preferred. It is important for brands to create these indexes in order to better inform marketing decisions for your products.
