Acquisition and Analytics
Novus Insurance Model
Novus is in the forefront and is first to market as a cannabis insurance entity in the United States and approval to enter into the Canadian market . With contractual agreements with 12 top CBD manufactures to deliver nationwide and close to 120 cities in the THC market gives Novus the ability to be a market leader in the risk and non-risk insurance sector . Charlotte ’ s Web CBD : An agreement that put Novus in the forefront was the contractual agreement with the makers of Charlotte ’ s Web a CBD by the Stanley Brothers . This accomplishment was largely contributed in 2014 when parents lobbying for the use of cannabis-derived Cannabidiol ( CBD non psychoactive ), orally administered oil for treatment of seizures , gained a lot of traction in the United States . This windfall put Novus in a position to execute an agreement for CBD products with the Stanley Brothers ( CW Botanicals and their nonprofit , Realm of Caring ) where Novus has an exclusive 65 % discount for our patient / members for the “ Advance Clinical Formula ”, as well as a 30 % discount of the “ Consumer Formula .”

Novus Digital Marketing Platform
A major barrier of entry that is difficult to achieve for many cannabis-related businesses is that each state has their own regulation on how to market medical marijuana . Along with Facebook , Twitter and SnapChat , Terms of Service will not allow direct advertising for the sale of Federally illegal products . ROI in marketing and advertising is important in profitable conversion ratios . Initially , Novus ’ marketing strategy was to use third party vendors . But many digital marketers knew very little about cannabis marketing compliance and lacked the ability to reach the right target audience . Previously , Novus ’ ROI from Click through to Engagement was $ 35 per conversion which would give a 90-120 day to profit per member . After a few months of paying for non-performing digital marketers with non-effective tactical methods , Novus brought the marketing efforts in-house . Click through to Engagement is now $ 7 per conversion which gives a 30-day to profit per member . The marketing has shown great success for Novus in the past 30 days going from 3,000 unique impressions per day to 20,000 per day and increasing , generating inbound and outbound marketing strategies in B2B and B2C .
