Silver Therapeutics is here to help customers in New York understand how loyalty programs work at dispensaries. Dispensary loyalty in NY works differently than the majority of other states. Due to regulations from the New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), dispensaries must be careful about how they offer customer loyalty initiatives. At Silver Therapeutics, we offer a rewards program that remains compliant with state laws and lets you know how much we appreciate your business.

What are NY’s Dispensary Loyalty Regulations?

Unlike other states that can use a traditional points-based rewards system, New York has definite rules about how you’re allowed to structure any cannabis loyalty program. According to OCM, licensees can’t give away cannabis products for free. This rule includes offering any cannabis as part of a promotion or donation. Furthermore, customers can’t earn points at a NY dispensary that they can later exchange for a discount or free product.

NY dispensaries cannot advertise any giveaways or promise “freebies.” In fact, they can’t even offer discounts or sales on cannabis items. They must avoid using specific terms such as “sale,” “free,” “price drop,” or “discount” in all promotional material.

Price changes are permitted at dispensaries in New York. However, a dispensary can’t specifically advertise a price drop to entice customers to come in for a discount. These requirements make it essential that NY dispensaries use creative ways to stay compliant, especially if they want to have a customer appreciation program.
