Cigar shops and lounges
Texting for cigar shops and lounges.
Keep your regulars in the loop: new arrivals, event nights, the humidor news they asked for. We set it up and handle the carrier registration.
Built for restricted content
Carriers treat cigars as restricted content. CTIA puts tobacco in a group of content that is "either explicitly prohibited or has additional Wireless Provider requirements."
We do the extra work. That is the product.
What Gnymble handles
Setup handled by real humans who know the category.
- Brand and campaign registration with the carriers, written for a cigar business
- Age verification by date of birth: a new subscriber gets no marketing text until they reply with a qualifying date
- Opt-in language and keywords that match what you registered
- An exact STOP opts the subscriber out of that number at once
- Warnings on any broadcast missing opt-out language
What shops send
Limited releases. Event nights. A new shipment in the humidor. A reminder that the lounge is open late on Friday.
Broadcasts run in their own lane, so a release announcement does not queue ahead of a reply to a regular asking whether you still have a box.
Questions
Can I mention cigars in my texts?
Yes, once your brand and campaign are registered for it and your list is age gated. That registration is part of setup.
How does the age gate work?
A new subscriber gets a text asking for their date of birth. Until they reply with a qualifying date, they get no marketing messages.
Can we move our texting to Gnymble?
Tell us what you send. We will tell you plainly what it takes to register it.
