Cannabis Brand Loyalty Program
MJ Points helps cannabis brands create loyalty and rewards experiences that connect qualifying purchases with points, promotional rewards, and ongoing consumer engagement.
Give consumers a reason to reconnect with your brand after their purchase—whether they shop at one participating dispensary or several.
Build a permission-based consumer audience, recognize eligible purchase activity, and create branded experiences that encourage continued participation.

The Challenge
Your Products Are Sold Through Dispensaries. But Who Owns the Consumer Relationship?
Cannabis brands depend on retail partners to reach consumers.
While dispensaries may operate their own loyalty programs, those programs typically focus on the retailer’s customer relationship—not on continued engagement with an individual product brand.
A consumer may purchase your products from several different dispensaries without having a direct way to participate in your brand’s rewards experience.
MJ Points helps bridge that gap.
With a brand-focused loyalty program, eligible consumers can register, participate in promotions, submit qualifying purchases, and receive configured rewards through a branded digital experience.
Build a consumer relationship around your brand—not just the location where a product was purchased.

Frequently Asked Questions

A cannabis brand loyalty program allows eligible consumers to register and participate in brand-sponsored rewards experiences, often based on qualifying purchases, points, or promotional milestones.
How is brand loyalty different from dispensary loyalty?
Dispensary loyalty programs typically focus on purchases made at a particular retailer. Brand loyalty programs focus on qualifying engagement with participating brand products, potentially across multiple eligible retail locations.
Can consumers participate at different dispensaries?
Yes. Programs can support qualifying participation across multiple eligible dispensaries, subject to program rules and available verification methods.
Do consumers need to download an app?
No. Supported MJ Points loyalty experiences operate through mobile-friendly web pages.
Is POS integration required?
No. Supported programs can use receipt-based or product-code validation without direct POS integration.
How do consumers earn points?
Consumers can earn points for approved qualifying activities according to the configured program rules.
Can we reward first, second, and third purchases?
Yes. Programs may use configured purchase milestones and reward rules when the necessary purchase validation and tracking capabilities are available.
Can consumers earn points for different products?
Yes. Programs may include multiple participating products or product groups, subject to configuration.
How does MJ Points verify purchases?
Supported verification methods include receipt submissions, eligible product codes, and available integrations, depending on the program.
Can the same purchase earn points multiple times?
Programs can use available validation rules and participation controls to help identify duplicate or ineligible claims. These controls do not guarantee that every duplicate will be detected.
Can we create member-only offers?
Eligible member-specific promotional experiences may be configured according to available campaign capabilities and applicable regulations.
Can members see their points and rewards?
Where supported by the configured loyalty experience, members can access their available points, qualifying activity, or reward information.
Can we import existing loyalty members?
Existing audience migration or import requirements should be reviewed during onboarding to confirm supported data formats, consent records, and available import capabilities.
Can MJ Points automatically track all dispensary purchases?
No. MJ Points tracks qualifying purchases submitted or received through available campaign data sources. It does not independently capture every purchase made across all dispensaries.
Can we communicate with loyalty members?

What types of rewards can members receive?
Depending on program configuration and applicable laws, options may include points, digital vouchers, gift cards, coupons, and other eligible promotional benefits.
