QDS Case Study
Hazy Daze Retail Brand, Website Foundation & Digital Presence System
How QDS created the Hazy Daze logo, helped build the brand and website/menu foundation, and continues to support retail visibility through customer education and four-platform social media publishing.
Client Snapshot
A local retail brand needed a complete foundation for visibility, education, and consistent publishing.
The Challenge
Hazy Daze needed more than occasional content or one-off social posts.
The business needed a brand foundation, original website/menu content support, product/category clarity, customer education, and a repeatable publishing system for showing up consistently across social and local visibility channels.
For a local adult-use retail environment, the work had to stay grounded, clear, and responsible. The goal was not hype or unsupported claims. It was a usable retail presence system that could help customers understand the brand, navigate categories, and see consistent communication across digital touchpoints.
Platform Transition Note
A clear note on the website platform history.
QDS-created foundation and later platform transition
QDS created the original Hazy Daze brand and digital foundation, including logo direction, brand guidance, website/content support, product-category messaging, customer education content, and retail visibility systems.
After that foundation was created, Hazy Daze transitioned portions of its live website/menu experience to a Carrot-powered setup for platform and integration reasons. QDS remains involved with Hazy Daze through ongoing digital presence support, including media/content publishing across four social media platforms.
This case study focuses on both the QDS-created foundation and QDS’s ongoing content visibility support. It does not represent later third-party platform changes as QDS-built website work.
The QDS Solution
QDS built the Hazy Daze digital foundation from the brand level outward.
The work included creating the logo the brand uses, shaping the visual direction, building a Canva-ready brand guideline, supporting the website/menu experience, and organizing the content system around customer education, local visibility, and retail confidence.
