How it works

Step 1:

Connect your shop.

Send us your customer list and what's in the humidor. We handle the setup.

Step 2:

We craft the promo.

We write the copy and make the image, built on what has sold before.

Step 3:

We hit send.

The text goes out to your opted-in customers at the time that sells best.

Step 4:

You deliver the orders.

Watch the replies roll in. Ship or hand off in store, restock, and get a monthly report.

Why it works

Built on what already sells.

Ads are banned. Texts aren't.

Meta bans cigar ads and Google restricts them. Your opted-in list is yours.

Text to buy.

Customers reply with a number to order. No links, no checkout pages.

Tobacco-compliant from day one.

Carrier-verified sending, opt-in and age checks, Authorize.Net for cards.

Your customers opted in.

They asked to hear from you. Texts get read.

Limited drops create urgency.

Small quantities, short windows, fast replies.

We know what sells.

Shallow discounts and $50–80 deals win. We use the data.

From our shops

One less thing to run.

"Working with Ralph and Gianni is easy. They handle the messaging, and we found revenue we didn't know we had. One less thing on our plate."

"I don't think about promos anymore. They write it, send it, and customers show up for the order. It's new money every week."

FAQ

Straight answers.

Do I need to install or learn any software?

No. We run the texting platform for you and handle the copy and the images. You just text us what you want to move.

What does it cost?

There's a monthly platform fee, SMS usage billed as you text, and a performance fee on what sells by text, so we only win when you do. We'll walk through the details on your call.

Is it compliant for tobacco?

Yes. Our sending is carrier-verified for tobacco, with opt-in and age verification from day one. We only message customers who opted in.

How do customers pay?

Customers reply to order. You take payment the way you already do, in store or by card. For card payments we set you up with Authorize.Net, which supports tobacco sales.

Why not just run Facebook or Google ads?

Meta bans cigar ads and Google restricts them. Your text list is a channel you own, and no platform can shut it off.

Can I approve messages?

Yes. Send us your edits before a promo goes out.

Do you work with stores near me?

We limit how many stores we take per area, so ask early.
