Make a counter sign that grows your text list

Sticky SMS, by Sticky Cards, the loyalty and marketing platform for cannabis dispensaries, built this generator as one of its texting tools for dispensaries.

Your sign is ready to print in four steps

1. 1

   Add your store name

   It sits at the top of the sign.

2. 2

   Set the keyword

   Shoppers text JOIN unless you set another short word that is easy to say at the counter.

3. 3

   Add your number

   Enter your texting number, or leave the field blank to preview the sign with a sample number.

4. 4

   Download and print

   PNG for screens and social posts, PDF for a 4 by 6 inch print.

A short keyword is easy to say and to text

• Short, and easy to spell after hearing it once.
• Free of product words, the same rule the banned word checker applies to your texts.
• The same keyword on every sign, receipt and social post, so people learn it.

The sign tells shoppers what they are joining

CTIA expects the first text after someone joins to name the program, say how often you text, mention any fees, and explain how to get help and how to opt out. The generator prints the same basics on the sign: message frequency, data rates, STOP and HELP.

The scan opens a text, and a short form completes the sign-up

The QR code opens the Messages app with a text ready to send JOIN to your number. On a Sticky SMS account, the shopper sends it and completes a short sign-up form. Until you have an account, the number on the sign is a sample.
