DENVER, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpine IQ, the industry leader in data management, telecom, and marketing solutions for cannabis retailers, and the second fastest-growing software company on the 2024 Inc. 5000 software list, proudly announces its acquisition of Happy Marketers, the marketing suite by Happy Cabbage.
As cannabis retail continues to evolve, marketers face increasing pressure to personalize communications, segment audiences, and navigate complex compliance standards. With this acquisition, Happy Marketers customers will join Alpine IQ’s robust ecosystem, gaining access to a platform designed to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s growth. Alpine IQ’s multi-channel capabilities, spanning SMS, email, in-app messaging, direct mail, and web wallets, empower marketers to connect with customers more intelligently and effectively.
Nicholas Paschal, CEO of Alpine IQ, remarked on the integration, “We’re excited to welcome Happy Cabbage’s Happy Marketing customers to our platform. This acquisition allows us to combine our strengths and extend a broader range of marketing and loyalty services to more businesses. Together, we’re enhancing what’s possible for our clients and continuing to build on the strong foundation already in place.”
Andrew Watson, CEO of Happy Cabbage, echoed this sentiment, “Bringing Happy Marketers over to Alpine IQ simply makes sense. This transition ensures the best possible future for our customers where they stand to gain significantly from Alpine IQ’s expansive suite of marketing and telecom solutions. We are now pivoting Happy Cabbage to focus on bringing intelligent ordering to retailers, with our tool Happy Buyers, which is currently saving retailers $150,000 in cash per store and eliminating manual steps from the ordering process.”
