Month: April 2021

It has been a wild year, full of ups and downs. Thankfully, as we move away from the worst moments of 2020's global pandemic, our industry is slowly making its way back to some sense of normalcy (kind of). The first in-person events are coming up this March with optimum safety.  WE'LL BE THERE FOR BACK-TO-BACK (SOCIALLY-DISTANT) TRADE SHOWS.   We're starting the trade show season off with a bang! Windship Trading Co. is co-sponsoring the first ever  HQ Event, presented by SSE Group in New Orleans the first week of March. The following week, we'll be traveling to sunny Orlando, Florida for the previously postponed Winter CHAMPS Trade Show.  The organizers of both events are taking every measure possible to ensure a safe and productive environment at each show. Read on to learn more about what we're doing to stay vigilant in preventing the spread of Covid-19. You'll also find full event details and a sneak peek of what to expect at the Windship Trading booth. 

We've all been itching to get back to the grind, and after a full year and some odd months, we finally got a little taste of the good ol' days: in-person trade shows. And it feels good to be back! This month, we packed up and traveled to New Orleans for the HQ Event, sponsored by SSE. About a week later, Windship Trading trucked along to Orlando for the Winter Champs Trade Show. Do pandemic-era trade shows work? Here's our feedback.  These being our first shows post-Covid, we weren't sure what to expect - Will it be safe? Will people show up? Is it even worth it? Before heading to the first show, minds raced with questions, and uncertainty filled the air. Still, the Windship Team was up for the challenge.  As it turns out, pandemic-era trade shows can work and everyone was more than prepared. The event hosts and facility coordinators were accommodating, professional, clean, and operated with hygiene, health, and safety in mind. Yet, no one was overly strict or imposing. As long as you followed a few safety guidelines, everyone encouraged the usual hybrid blend of business and pleasure that we've all become accustomed to finding at these events.

DIP DEVICES IS MAKING MOVES WITH THEIR LATEST VAPE RELEASE- JUST IN TIME FOR 4/20. We have to give props to Dip Devices. The clever designers and originators of direct-to-concentrates (or direct-dab) technology have cornered a rapidly evolving market and continue to adapt to  the end user's lifestyle. Their products provide an affordable and convenient opportunity for people to consume concentrates in a much more portable, discreet way without losing out on those robust, flavorful hits connoisseurs crave. DIP DEVICES IS ALSO MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT. Dip Devices is a brand that strongly advocates for social change. The Dip Device team is dedicated to reshaping the dialogue regarding how we discuss cannabis and how it is judged in society and under the law. They also wish to positively impact the world outside of the cannabis sector by donating profits to organizations supporting a wide range of causes, from human rights to environmental issues. MEET LITTLE DIPPER, THE VAPE TO TAKE ANYWHERE.  Let's get it straight- size isn't everything. This little vape packs a serious punch with dab action you'd get only from torching a rig. Think Little Dipper, BIG clouds. It features Dip Device's signature direct-to-concentrate (or direct-draw) technology, which produces quick, full dabs on-the-go. The compact design makes it easy to take with you anytime, anywhere.

420: THE UBIQUITOUS CODEWORD THAT SPARKED A GLOBAL CANNABIS MOVEMENT. 420 is the quintessential cannabis expression that has evolved from offbeat slang to universal code, eventually becoming a tradition unofficially observed every year on April 20th. It's a day to celebrate the beatific herb many enjoy so much, as well as a day to support cannabis activism and social justice. Hell, it's a full-on lifestyle, really. But, why "420"?
