01 · The Titles

Two roles, one activation.

Both titles are exclusive. No other app or discovery platform sits in either seat.

Exclusive

Official App Partner

weedbuds.app is named the official app of PIFFCON 2026 across every channel we own — email, SMS, social, the LED wall, the main stage, and the printed floor. Your name travels with the event's.

Exclusive

Community Experience Partner

You own the participation layer: community sesh votes, vendor onboarding ahead of doors, and the floor-level interactions our videographer captures live on Aug 2.

02 · The Build
Conditional · pending discovery call

The official judging platform.

This is the one piece we can't confirm until we talk. If weedbuds.app can meet the five criteria below and have it ready by July 24, we'd want you on the judging side — and the title package gets materially stronger for it. If it can't, everything else in this proposal stands on its own and the price doesn't change.

  1. 01
    Private by default

    Live and operating, but sealed. No results, standings, or partial tallies visible to anyone outside the judging pool while scoring runs.

  2. 02
    Operates blind

    Judges score anonymized entries only — entry code, category, and sample. No grower name, no brand, no photo, no lineage that gives it away.

  3. 03
    Ready by July 24

    Configured, entries loaded, and dry-run tested with our judges by Friday July 24. That's the ceiling, not the target — sooner is better. We need real runway to train judges and onboard the room, not a platform that lands the week of.

  4. 04
    Unseals on command

    The moment judging closes, one action flips it public — codes resolve to winners, live on stage.

  5. 05
    Becomes the permanent record

    After the reveal it stays up as the archive: winners with names, photos, terp profiles, judge notes, and category placements — a lasting reference for attendees and anyone who finds PIFFCON later.

03 · What We Deliver

Before, during, and after the floor.

Everything below is confirmed and included at $3,000. Items marked ◆ apply only if the judging module goes ahead.

Phase One

Before the event

  • Discovery call — judging platform scope, criteria, and go / no-go.
  • Collab social posts — co-authored with weedbuds.app, landing on both audiences at once.
  • Weekly story posts — multiple per week, pushing your links right up to doors.
  • Email blast — your feature to our 12,000+ subscriber list.
  • SMS blast — our subscriber list plus current PIFFCON customers.
  • Vendor onboarding — group chat access, so vendors join community sesh votes before doors.
  • Advance education — vendors and ticket-holders learn the platform ahead of the day.
Phase Two

On the floor · Aug 2

  • LED wall — logo, custom QR codes, and video during main-stage showings.
  • Stage shoutouts — DJs and MC/hosts driving the room to engage.
  • 5ft × 7ft banner — branding, QR, and call to action. Larger than our Gold tier's.
  • Your own signage — brochures and physical materials, floor open to you.
  • All 50 VIP gift bags — your stickers, QR codes, or inserts.
  • Your team on site — onboard people, drive interaction, record your own content.
  • Our videographer — capturing app interactions and real attendee reactions.
Phase Three

After the lights

  • Social recap — weedbuds.app as featured partner, with notable mentions throughout.
  • Follow-up email — full list, post-event.
  • Follow-up stories — shared across our channels.
  • Results go public — the reveal itself becomes the story we push.
  • The archive lives on — permanent winners record, with your name on it.

06 · Investment

Priced for a partnership, not a placement.

$3,000
Custom · both titles · all phases

This package carries Platinum-level placement — VIP gift-bag inclusion, professional video of your activation, post-event email and SMS — at half the Platinum rate.

The gap is deliberate. The value runs both ways: you bring the platform and a team to work the floor; we bring the room, the stage, and the lists. That trade is the discount — not a discount on what you get.

Against our published tiers

  • Silver$2,500
  • This package$3,000
  • Gold$4,000
  • Platinum$6,000
  • Presenting / TitleInquire

Your banner runs 5×7 against Gold's 4×6. Gift-bag placement, activation video, and post-event SMS are Platinum-only perks — included here. Both exclusive titles are custom to this deal and not sold on any published tier.

07 · Next Step

One call decides the shape of it.

The package is ready either way. The call only settles whether the judging module is in.
