Illinois News Joint expanding services in 2024
It’s hard to believe Illinois News Joint has reached its fourth year as a publication. November 2019, during a meeting at Flesor’s Candy Kitchen (a central Illinois gem), our web designer agreed to create an Illinois News Joint website. A month later, the premiere resource for the Illinois cannabis industry was born. Each year since, we have expanded our publication and added new services. For 2024, we have added more event advertising options, two new services, and updated our logos and website.
The two new services include News Joint Events and News Joint Consulting. News Joint Cannabis Events is the cannabis-friendly events planning and consulting service from Illinois News Joint. News Joint Events curates 3-4 major cannabis-consumption events per year, as well as monthly events with a focus on central and southern Illinois locations. We curate a wide range of events (announcements coming soon) and we partner with event planners, municipalities, cannabis communities, associations, vendors, sponsors, brands, influencers, and performers for custom consulting.
The purpose of News Joint Events is to contribute to as many safe, friendly, and legal cannabis events to help the normalization of the cannabis community and cannabis-friendly events in Illinois and beyond. Since adult-use legalization in Illinois, we have attended and/or participated in more than one hundred cannabis events. From those events, we have procured lists of the best event locations, vendors, food trucks, performers, artist, and other industry contacts. We utilize these lists to individually customize event needs to fit the exact style and motif for our events and other event planners. Our lists of cannabis industry insiders can accommodate any cannabis-related event, from industry events to homegrown cups. We also have added customized Event Advertising options for Illinois event planners.
Though we have been consulting for nearly two years, we have not officially announced News Joint Consulting. Illinois News Joint has connected, collaborated, and partnered with hundreds of Illinois cannabis industry businesses and individuals, and we want to share our knowledge with others in the cannabis industry. From medical patients to MSOs, News Joint Consulting connects clients to cannabis insiders across the industry, including academics, municipalities, politicians, associations, event planners, conference organizers, vendors, new business owners, cultivators, breeders, brands, influencers, and more. The continuous feedback, concerns, and questions received from Illinois cannabis insiders keeps our finger on the pulse of the industry, consumer interests, latest data, latest trends, and medical patients needs.
Along with a updated Illinois News Joint graphics and color scheme, we also recently launched News Joint Printing. News Joint Printing is the boutique printing arm of Illinois News Joint that offers specialized small-batch merchandise, including clothing, bags, tumblers, mugs, stickers, and more. News Joint Printing caters to cannabis-friendly businesses, especially those in need of specialized “late orders” for upcoming events and other urgent needs. For events we are attending, we also offer delivery service to the events. News Joint Printing specializes in customized small-batch sublimation printing using comfortable 50%-65% polyester T-shirts and other clothing at low costs.
