You’ve decided to dive right into the CBD industry by creating your own CBD private label brand, but now you’ve reached the next step. How do you lift your brand off the ground? Here we’ll cover the essential steps to take in order to better sell & promote CBD to your customers whether online or in person.
1. Become an Expert
Sometimes entrepreneurs can get so excited about a business prospect that they accidentally overlook the most integral aspect of any business, which is knowing your product. If you aren’t already educated on the ins & outs of CBD, take the time to really get acquainted with the topic. This will come in handy when people come to you with inquiries, because trust us, there is a lot of confusion in the CBD space. You should be the expert because your knowledge could be the reason that someone decides to buy or not buy your product. Whether this means you scour YouTube for educational CBD videos, or you read a book on the topic - you won’t regret being informed.
The 3 Areas of CBD Mastery
Here are the three areas of mastery that’ll help you feel like a true CBD specialist, including: laws, hemp, and products.

You’ll often hear people say they’ve already tried CBD, or that they have a friend who has had great results with ‘x’ brand. Where private labeling with Neurogan comes in handy is that most of the time our quality supersedes most all of the previous experiences people have had with CBD. Part of promoting your private label brand will be capitalizing on the unrivaled quality that you can offer, something that not all CBD brands can boast about.
What Factors Determine Quality CBD?
Place of Cultivation
Where your CBD is grown is important, period. Every state and country have their own laws which determine the quality of growth. For example, hemp grown in Mexico might allow GMO crops, while places like Denmark have banned the use of GMO's completely. It's also useful to know whether your crops were grown indoors or outdoors, or with the sun or a lamp, because these intricacies can be great selling points to highlight the nature of your crops.
Extraction Method
Have you ever wondered how a hemp plant is able to make it's way into cookies, oils, and more? After the hemp is cultivated and dried, it is extracted. Extraction is the process by which CBD is drawn from the hemp itself, and the manner in which this process is performed makes a big overall difference in quality. The two most popular extraction methods are CO2 and Alcohol extraction, with CO2 extraction being a much more clean and effective extraction method.
Extract Type
Not all CBD is created equally. In fact, the manipulation of cannabinoids is a quite popular practice. Some people may be taking CBD daily without even knowing that the CBD they're taking is not true to its most natural form and is rather an isolated form of hemp. The three most popular CBD extracts on the market today are Full-Spectrum CBD & Isolate (Regular) CBD:
- Isolate CBD is an extract that is isolated from all other parts of the hemp plant, in order to maximize what is seen as the most important ingredient - CBD.
- Full-Spectrum honors the entire plant extract, keeping the over 100 healing cannabinoids intact in the final CBD product, including THC.
- Broad Spectrum is similar to a full-spectrum extract in that it contains all of hemp's natural cannabinoids, but contains not THC.

Laboratory Testing
In order to verify what is actually in the product your selling, as well as to verify the contents of your product for your customers, laboratory testing is an integral step to ensuring high-quality. Not only is there the peace of mind of knowing exactly what you are selling, but the satisfaction of being able to also have full transparency with your customers should they request to see laboratory testing. Lab reports will typically cost private labelers an extra fee, be sure to contact the company to learn more.
Is Neurogan CBD Quality?
Yes! We put in a whole lot of extra work to call our CBD quality: we grow our crops under strict agricultural regulation, use a slow outdoor growth cycle, utilize a CO2 extraction method, and send all our products to a third party laboratory to ensure purity.
