Age Gating

Blackleaf’s messaging system is designed to keep your campaigns compliant while still engaging customers with high-converting notifications. Our unique landing page flow keeps messages within carrier rules while delivering strong results. Here’s what your customers will experience when they receive a message from you:

1. Customers Receive a Notification-Style Text

Each customer gets a short, compliant message such as “You have a new notification from [Store Name]” with a personalized link. This format avoids filtering by carriers while grabbing attention effectively.

2. They Tap the Link and Verify Their Date of Birth

To meet age-gating requirements, customers are prompted to confirm their date of birth. This quick step ensures compliance before showing any promotional content.

3. The Offer or Message Is Revealed

After verification, they see your promotion, event notice, or any message you want to share. This gives you full flexibility to drive foot traffic, highlight products, or push announcements without including cannabis-related language in the original text.

4. No Cookies, So DOB Is Verified Every Time

Carrier rules do not currently allow cookies on these pages. This means customers will need to verify their age each time they click a link. While this may seem repetitive, it is necessary for compliance and ensures your campaigns remain deliverable.

5. This Process Works and Delivers Results

Even with these extra steps, this method consistently performs well. Customers respond to clear, simple messages. The landing page approach protects your business, keeps campaigns compliant, and drives results. You will also get full reporting for every campaign including clicks, views, and opt-outs.
