Beyond Emails: Leveraging Push Notifications with Breadstack and Sticky Cards

Beyond Emails: Leveraging Push Notifications with Breadstack and Sticky Cards

Because loyalty shouldn’t live in your customers’ spam folder.

Breadstack gives cannabis retailers a strong marketing base — especially when it comes to email:

  • Post-order emails

  • Product recommendations

  • Targeted promotions

But here's the problem:
Customers don’t always check their email.
And when they do, your message is often buried under a pile of promos.

That’s why smart retailers using Breadstack are adding Sticky Cards — a loyalty layer that lets them send push notifications directly to their customers’ lock screens.


Why Push Messaging Works Better Than Email for Loyalty

Let’s compare the two:

Channel

Engagement

Visibility

Cost

Timing

Email

10–20% open rate

Inbox (often buried)

Free

Delayed

Push (via Sticky Cards)

40–60% tap rate

Lock screen

Free

Instant

Push notifications cut through the noise. They show up where your customer is — not in a tab they check once a day.

“It’s the first time our loyalty messages feel immediate — like we actually reach people in real-time.”


How Push Works with Breadstack + Sticky Cards

Sticky Cards plugs into your Breadstack flow with zero disruption:

  • At checkout, customers are prompted to save a digital loyalty card to Apple or Google Wallet.

  • That card becomes the channel for push — branded with your store, ready to engage.

  • You send targeted push campaigns using Sticky Cards.

  • Your customers tap, engage, and come back.

Campaign Ideas That Go Beyond Email

  • “🔥 New Drop Alert — Today Only!”

  • “🎁 You’re due for a reward! Tap to check your card.”

  • “👀 Nearby? Stop in for a 10% off on pre-roll.”

  • “🎉 Happy Birthday! Show your card for 20% off.”

These push messages skip the inbox and show up where customers will actually see them — no login or app required.


Use Push + Email Together

Sticky Cards doesn’t replace Breadstack emails — it amplifies them.

  • Use email for longer-form campaigns

  • Use push for immediacy, urgency, and foot traffic

  • Let your loyalty card carry the brand presence 24/7
