The Challenge
Cannabis retailers need a marketing channel that works. Social ads are restricted. Emails get ignored. And without compliance, SMS campaigns risk being blocked entirely. Operators want a channel that is both reliable and revenue-driving.
The Sweed Approach
With Sweed, SMS isn’t just about sending text, it’s a compliant, conversion-focused growth engine.
- Direct to cart: Messages with clickable URLs drive customers straight into curated product flows.
- Fast + measurable: CTRs as high as 29% prove that SMS gets attention instantly.
- Higher order value: SMS-driven AOVs consistently landed between $84-88 – Outperforming offline orders.
- Always compliant: 10DLC registration ensures campaigns actually reach customers, even in the tightly regulated cannabis market.
Results
- 18.4M+ SMS with URLs delivered
- 1M+ clicks
- $2.76M+ in online sales
- CTRs up to 29%
- SMS AOV $84-88 (higher than offline)
Impact
This isn’t theory, it’s proof. Sweed operators are using SMS to reliably move products, increase average basket size, and re-engage customers without breaking compliance rules.
For dispensaries, that means:
- More sales tied directly to campaigns you can measure.
- Less wasted spend on channels that don’t convert.
- A repeatable revenue channel you can trust.
