What Leafbuyer texting
is actually worth
Real numbers from real dispensary operations.
A 1,000-subscriber list sending 2–4 MMS campaigns per month at a 20% conversion rate and $50 average ticket generates significant incremental revenue per send.
Returning cannabis customers spend 120% more than newly acquired customers. A strong loyalty and texting program is your single highest-ROI retention tool.
It costs 7× more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. Leafbuyer's texting and loyalty platform pays for itself through retention alone.

Sample ROI Scenario
Built different. Delivers different.
Direct carrier relationships, landline/DNC scrubbing, and proper 10DLC registration ensure messages land — even when carriers block cannabis SMS. You're never paying for messages that never arrive.
Your subscriber data belongs to you. No lock-in. If you leave or cancel, you take your entire list with you. That list is a business asset worth protecting.
LeadCatcher technology and the Leafbuyer.com network add new subscribers to your list 24/7 — the only platform in the industry that actively grows your audience for you.
Leafbuyer handles all opt-in, opt-out, and regulatory requirements so your campaigns are always legal and carrier-approved. Age and PIN code compliance built in.
A real human helps you build campaigns, optimize send times, and maximize ROI — not just a self-serve dashboard. Free live customer service included.
