Skip the SMS Fees: Push Loyalty for TechPOS Retailers

Push notifications your customers actually see — without the cost or compliance risk.

If you’re using TechPOS to run your dispensary, you're already handling checkout, inventory, and compliance like a pro.

But here’s the question smart retailers are now asking:
“Why are we still paying for SMS and not even getting through?”

Blocked texts, rising costs, and disappearing open rates have made SMS a liability.
That’s why the most forward-thinking TechPOS retailers are switching to push notifications — powered by Sticky Cards.

It’s a better way to engage customers. And it doesn’t cost a dime to send.


The Problem With SMS in Cannabis

  • 10DLC rules keep tightening. Even compliant stores are getting flagged or blocked.

  • Carrier fees keep rising. You're getting charged more to reach fewer people.

  • Customers ignore texts. With spam filters and promo overload, even your best offers get buried.

We were spending thousands on SMS and getting maybe 10% engagement.”


The Sticky Cards Push Alternative

Sticky Cards lets you send unlimited branded push notifications through your customers’ Apple Wallet or Google Wallet loyalty card without needing an app.

Here’s what you get:

  • Free push notifications for life

  • No SMS compliance issues

“We cut our SMS bill to zero, and push messages get tapped 3x more.”


How It Works With TechPOS

  • Sticky Cards provides in-store marketing materials like QR posters and countertop displays.
    Customer scans the QR code to join your loyalty program—no app, no login needed.
    They’re instantly created in TechPOS and their digital loyalty card is saved to Apple or Google Wallet.
    You send a push notification like: “🎁 Weekend Deal: 30% Off Select Edibles – Show This Card In-Store.”
    They return with your brand on their lock screen, ready to redeem.

That’s loyalty. Without the cost.
