WHAT WE OFFER

Most shops claim great service. Ours gets measured.

We won't tell you your dispensary is fine. We'll show you exactly where customers hesitate, and what to do about it in Tucson and Phoenix.

Mystery Shopping & Customer Experience Audits

Experience your dispensary through the eyes of a real customer. We evaluate the shopping journey, from the front door to checkout, identifying barriers that may affect customer satisfaction, purchasing decisions, and repeat visits.

The 50+ Customer Experience

Discover how well your dispensary serves mature consumers, including those who are new to cannabis or returning after decades. We examine accessibility, product information, staff communication, and the overall shopping experience.

Staff Education & Retail Coaching

Equip your team with practical communication strategies to help customers feel comfortable asking questions, comparing products, and making informed purchasing decisions.

Customer Retention & Growth Opportunities

Turn audit findings into actionable recommendations for improving the shopping experience, strengthening customer relationships, and encouraging repeat business.

The 50+ Crowd has money to spend and does not speak fluent cannabis....

The Customer Experience Gaps We Look For

Small frustrations can make a big difference in how customers experience your dispensary. - Confusing medical and recreational check-in procedures - Product labels and menus that are difficult to read - Staff who assume customers already understand cannabis terminology - Missed opportunities to explain product formats and important purchasing information - Rushed interactions that leave customers feeling uncomfortable asking questions - Promotions and loyalty programs that aren't clearly explained Our evaluations identify these and other customer-experience barriers, then provide practical recommendations tailored to your store.

The founder

Melissa MacDowell

Founder | High Bar CX

With more than 20 years of experience in diagnostic radiography, a background in business ownership, and firsthand experience navigating today's cannabis retail environment, Melissa brings a unique perspective to customer experience consulting.

As a consumer in her 50s, she recognizes an important gap between the way dispensaries communicate and the information many mature customers need to shop confidently.

High Bar CX was created to help dispensaries close that gap through practical customer experience evaluations, better communication, and a deeper understanding of the customers they serve.
