‘Simply Crafted’ shifts to online sales of CBD oil products as demand increases across CBD industry

Minneapolis, Minn. — May 30, 2020 — As the global COVID-19 pandemic shuttered businesses everywhere this spring, cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabis businesses reported a major upswing in business as they shifted to online sales.

Minneapolis-based Simply Crafted CBD saw a 400 percent increase in traffic at their online store after placing strategic digital ads.

“We’ve had a huge surge of business from our Leafly.com brand listing as well as from local shoppers forced to shop online due to COVID closures,” said Amanda Stead, spokesperson for Simply Crafted. “We believe more people are turning to CBD as a way to treat their anxiety and other conditions from home during the pandemic. The shift to online shopping has also helped boost sales at our ecommerce website.”

Stead said she’s hearing from industry colleagues that the influx of online shoppers and demand for CBD products is widespread across the CBD and cannabis industries.

“I think now more than ever people are looking for new ways to cope with anxiety, which is a big factor in this increased demand for CBD products,” Stead said. “I’ve talked to other platforms where we sell our products and they’re seeing the same influx of business.”

Stead said that even as economies reopen this summer, she expects to see a continued rise in online sales.

“People just like the convenience of online shopping these days,” she said.

She added that in addition to the ease of buying CBD online from stores like Simply Crafted, a growing number of people around the country are discovering the healing potential of quality CBD products.
