What happens when you can’t use Facebook ads to grow your business? For an increasing number of businesses this has been the reality with random bans, or hacked accounts. It's a huge amount of stress and time to get it resolved.

So what if you never planned to use them anyway? Or what if you have a business that is not allowed to use them - because they are not allowed in Facebook’s TOS?

The Cannabis Clinic provides medicinal, prescription only pain and anxiety relief to thousands of Kiwis. But their product is not allowed to be advertised on Facebook. 

Instead of sitting there and getting frustrated., founder and owner Dr Waseem Alzaher decided to grasp another alternative - marketing automation - to build community, to build connection and help attract patients needing his help.

We’re lucky enough to work with Wazeem, and help him every month with marketing automation using ActiveCampaign (we’re AC partners)

In this episode we walk through why he uses it, what he uses it for and how he’s planning to go deeper into its use in 2023. 

So many people just scrape the surface of what’s possible with marketing automation. In this episode you’ll hear how you might be able to use it for your business.

Dr Waseem is sometimes called  the cannabis doctor. But in reality, making other people's lives better is his goal, both as an entrepreneur and a doctor. He started the Cannabis Clinic back in 2018 and has never looked back. He loves to challenge existing beliefs and solve problems. His clinic is leading the medicinal cannabis industry in NZ.  

Running the Cannabis clinic also gives Waseem the ability to work remotely down in Palmerston North where he lives and be with his family. 

In this episode we cover:

• How the Cannabis Clinic Started
• Barriers The Cannabis Clinic faced in growing
• What they actually do. 
• Why Waseem started using marketing automation
• Why he works with agency help
• What he’s hoping to use marketing automation for in the future
