LeafLink has launched a list to measure how cannabis brands and products are securing shelf space in dispensaries and finding success in this increasingly competitive market. The LeafLink List ranks brands and products in several categories, including bestselling, fastest-growing and best branding. Companies honored on the list will receive a badge that can be used on their packaging and websites to note the recognition.

“We’re excited to introduce LeafLink List as a way to recognize some of the incredible brands on our platform,” said CEO and Co-Founder Ryan G. Smith, in a press release. “It’s amazing to see how powerfully retailers respond to high quality, beautifully branded products on LeafLink. LeafLink List is not only a celebration of ingenuity and quality among today’s growing cannabis brands, but also of the rich community of purchasing managers who use LeafLink to educate themselves on the latest and greatest products available to them.”
