Dispensary Text Marketing

Dispensary text marketing is the most effective way for cannabis retailers and brands to reach customers instantly. With higher open rates, faster engagement, and stronger ROI than email or push notifications, texting has become the primary marketing channel for licensed dispensaries.

Why Text Marketing Works for Dispensaries
Text messages are read almost immediately and appear directly on the customer’s lock screen. Unlike email, SMS isn’t buried in filtered inboxes or promotions tabs, which makes text marketing the best way to promote daily deals, drops, and time-sensitive offers.

Higher ROI Than Email or Push Notifications
Text messages deliver near-perfect open rates and significantly higher conversion rates. While email and push notifications have their place, SMS consistently outperforms both in terms of revenue per message for cannabis retailers.

Fully Compliant Cannabis Messaging

Use Text Marketing for Promos, Menus, and Loyalty
Dispensaries use SMS to promote daily deals, flash sales, holiday drops, new product arrivals, and loyalty rewards. With MMS, you can send branded flyers, menu screenshots, images, and graphics that drive higher engagement.

Grow Your Customer List Easily
Collect customer phone numbers through POS sync, QR codes, website sign-ups, ecommerce orders, or loyalty programs. Blackleaf automatically syncs your contacts and ensures opt-in compliance.

Automated Text Marketing for Dispensaries
Set up automated flows such as welcome texts, birthday rewards, winback messages, and loyalty reminders. Automations run in the background and help drive repeat purchases effortlessly.

Better Engagement With Multimedia (MMS)
Send images, graphics, and promotional flyers to stand out in the customer’s inbox. MMS messages consistently perform better than plain SMS for cannabis product offers.

Two-Way SMS for Customer Support
Customers can reply directly to your texts, enabling live chat for questions, product recommendations, and order support—without needing an app.
