General App Features

BudLink is always free for all your friends, customers, or anyone who wishes to participate with your App. They can simply follow your App enrollment link and be automatically subscribed to your App, so when they log in for the first time, your App will be visible on their dashboard.
BudLink is published and available for free download and install from the Apple and Google App stores. BudLink handles all compliancy, platform updates, and security features so you don’t have to worry.
If you have multiple locations that all need an App, BudLink has you covered. We can nest as many App’s inside your parent locations App so everyone has their own environments. We can do this and still allow the parent location App to have over-reaching control, which puts you in the driver’s seat.
Tired of free platforms that make it impossible to control all your customers? We are too, which is why with BudLink, you can export all the data tied to each customer or user that is subscribed to your App.
Make it seamless and easy for your customers to get connected and subscribed to your App with your own branded enrollment link. This link allows you to customize your greeting message and has your App Icon at the top. Once your customer completes a few registration fields, there account is setup automatically, so when they install BudLink from the App stores and log in they are already defaulted to your App. You also get easy share links and a downloadable QR code to spread the word on other networks for your customers to come join you on BudLink.
As a complimentary service to our clients, we can pre-enroll your customers and provide you with temporary passwords for all your customers to use on their first sign in. This works through providing BudLink a CSV file that we use to set up all new accounts, and most importantly this process does not notify your customer in any way. We leave that up to you when you are ready to roll out your new App on the BudLink Network.
It is important that everyone in your company can contribute in their own private way. We provide complimentary employee profiles which are BudLink Basic app’s that we link/nest into your BudLink Premium account. This is powerful, as when they are linked to your BudLink Premium, you can market to all your customers & users plus the users that are subscribed to your employee profiles. Rest assured, when your employee moves on, we unlink these accounts and turn them into complimentary BudLink Basic accounts, so everyone wins.
BudLink believes in scaling your revenue, exposure, and customer base without the need to worry about your technology costs scaling. So with all our product levels, they are priced as a flat rate and never come with yearly contracts. Scale your business, not your marketing budget.
You guessed it, we also provide unlimited complimentary support and training. This means you can leverage the BudLink App Owner Support teams to make changes to your app upon request, re-train on how to better utilize features, strategize on marketing campaigns and concepts, and more. Bottomline, we are here for you whenever you need us.

Customizable & Segmented Marketing

Re-engagement marketing can become very expense depending on what type of technology tools you are leveraging. With BudLink we allow unlimited push notification marketing which bolsters a higher success rate over SMS/text marketing. BudLink allows you to never have to worry how many messages you send out as the number or frequency of the marketing you send effects your monthly bill.
BudLink allows you to program up several types of events (push marketing) depending on what your needs are. GEO Regions is preset geographical areas that you can target with your marketing. There are thousands of pre-determined regions across the USA that you can target. How this works, is your BudLink App will determine how many of your subscribers are inside any given GEO Region and only send your marketing to the active devices that are inside the GEO Region or Regions you selected as the target audience. This is extremely important when segmenting your different customer types (ie. In state medical, in state recreational, out of state recreational.)
Just like GEO Regions, a Fenced Event allows you to set a unique entry and exit notification to occur. Don’t worry the BudLink Network will not bombard your customers if they pass through the Fenced Event multiple times in a day. Our system is very intelligent to not become a distraction on your customer device. These Fenced Events are great for thanking customers as they leave your area of business and welcome them back with special offers to increase your revenue and re-engagement.
With BudLink Premium, we provide 1 private customized fence for each of your locations. These fences are only accessible by the App owner as they are strategically set up when we on-board your location. These are built to provide entry and exit messaging that is perfect for catching drive byes and notifying them of daily specials to encourage a stop on their way home from their travels. We typically set the fence range to 1 to 5 miles, but it can be customized to your specific needs upon on-boarding, or through your support team should you want to experiment.
This event is not GEO restricted, however you do have the ability to segment your audience anyway you see fit. You can schedule this marketing event to recur, be specific to 1 or many of your subscribers, set time zone requirements, attach images and files, as well as make them downloadable and actionable. Once saved, this event will be placed on your calendar and send based upon the schedule you gave it.
This event is not GEO restricted, however you do have the ability to segment your audience anyway you see fit, whether a single user needs to receive it, or user lists you have created. Once you save this event type it will send immediately and be completed as a one-time Event.
If you are just needing to send a text or embedding URL notification, then the Quick Events is how you do it. Simply title your message, add content, and if applicable a URL link. Then you select what subscribers are going to get it, and it sends immediately. Short sweet and simple.
All advanced and GEO events allow you to select whether the files or images you are adding to your marketing message can be downloaded by the recipients. This comes in handy especially when sending COA’s (certificates of analysis) on products that you are selling or purchasing.
When you program up a push marketing flyer, every page of your flyer can be synchronized through BudLink LiveSync to pull in a unique web experience. Actionable Flyers paired to our BudLink LiveSync partners allows you to immediately take a customers order directly with your existing point of sale without adding extra workflow or manage pesky API’s (application protocol interface)
Just imagine that you want to have an employee market your business to their personal Instagram or Facebook friends. Yes, that is probably not going to ever happen, but since your BudLink Premium comes with complimentary Employee Profiles, this allows all your employees to migrate some of their personal audience into there Employee Profile. As this happens your subscriber base will grow and allow you to market directly through their Employee Profile. When everyone contributes everyone wins, and since your employees can take their complimentary profile with them wherever their career takes them, they will be more than eager to start building there BudLink following.
You can create as many unique user lists as you would like. These lists can be set to public, private, or even hidden to allow you to always maintain complete control. When you are making hidden lists, your App subscribers do not know they have been added which allows you to segment your audience into as many customer types as necessary.
It is important to give your customers a voice. From your user list management, you can create public and private user lists. These lists will display on your app home screen under the “Stay Informed” area. If they are set to public, then your subscribers will simply tap a subscribe or unsubscribe button to control their opt in marketing settings. If you set these to private, then your subscriber will see a subscribe button, which will change to pending until and send the App owner a message to approve the opt in entry to that list.

BudLink™ Feeds

Public feeds are just that… Anyone in the global BudLink network can launch them and interact with the URL you are deploying.
Setting your feed to private means that anyone in the global BudLink network can see that you have a private feed but cannot access or know what URL you are presenting until you approve their entry. When the user subscribes to a private feed, the App owner can present questions or document proof to be passed along with their subscription request. The user then sits in Pending mode while the App owner is notified of the request and is only allowed into the private feed once they have been approved by the App owner. These are great for exclusive access and or monetized site access.
Hidden feeds are only visible to the users that you manually setup access for. These are great for back office, employee logins, CRMs, ERPs, Metrc, etc. No other subscribers to your App will even know it exists.
Leverage our proprietary dynamic rendering engine through your support team to simply adjust settings like direct launch, cache, and CSS injection to point and feed your Facebook page in real-time to your App for your subscribers to access.
Leverage our proprietary dynamic rendering engine through your support team to simply adjust settings like direct launch, cache, and CSS injection to point and feed your Instagram page in real-time to your App for your subscribers to access.
Leverage our proprietary dynamic rendering engine through your support team to simply adjust settings like direct launch, cache, and CSS injection to point and feed any mobile responsive URL into your App. This can be used for websites, logins to third party software, ERPs, CRMs, and just about anything you can throw at it. Flexibility in your tech stack is crucial.
Since we are in the Cannabis industry there are certain rules that Apple and Google enforce, or they remove apps from the store. One of those is GEO restricting Cannabis shopping to only the state that legally allow it. Any of your BudLink Feeds that need to be set up that handle these types of sales we automatically assist you in locking access down to the state boundaries. What this means is only subscribers that are inside the Geographical Region (State) can open the feed that allows an order or sale to occur. This always keeps you in compliance and free from unwanted headaches.

Communities

BudLink allows you to deploy as many parent communities as possible to handle all your social posting endeavors. Your App is specifically designed to be your single point of syndication which makes your technology footprint more digestible for your audience. Additionally, for those who are vertically integrated in there state the cross-promotion opportunities within your App is an efficient way to introduce your customers to everything you’re offering. Normal social platforms force you to segment everything, which is counterproductive and time consuming for your customers.
Your topic walls can be launched from your edit menu inside your community. This allows you to segment discussions around specific topics that are important to your audience. Expanding the flexibility of how you communicate with your customers provides a stronger engagement when they can find content quicker. Topic Walls is tied to a parent community and are limited to 10 deployable topics per parent community.
When it comes to posting in your communities or topics in your App you have several types of posts. General posts are text based and can include URL embedding, which is perfect for referencing third party content, or video streaming links. Image posts allow you to add an image with your posts. Video posts allow you to upload an already created video from your phone or computer. Hashtags are stored and can be search or applied as a filter to help you discover related content.
BudLink has common areas in the app where there are master communities and master topics. This Is built intentionally to allow free users the ability to participate in communities and topics without having to be an App Owner. One perk to all App Owners, is the ability to push any one of the posts in their App to be cloned and available to the global BudLink audience. There are two ways you can trigger this; (i.) when you are creating a new post you will have options to not only push notify your App subscribers of your new post, but also push your post to master, which allows you to select which community or topic wall you want your post to appear on. (ii.) as you are moderating your App community, you will have a BudLink chain link icon that will allow you to make it visible on the Global communities. Both methods are important ways to gain new subscribers, as when you leverage this feature your post on the Global communities will be accompanied with a via; App Name with a subscribe button.
Every community has a pinned posts section right below your topic walls. These pinned posts are controlled by the App owner, and you can select the duration of time you wish them to be pinned. This is extremely helpful when you have a very active post, or you’re making your audience aware of important information.
It wouldn’t be social media without a report a post feature. Ours is unique in as anyone can report one of your community posts and specify the reason for the complaint. When this happens, the user issuing the report is immediately banned from seeing the post they are reporting. Next the App owner will receive a notification that will allow them to review the issue, and the App owner makes the decision on the course of action.
Anyone can block anyone on the BudLink network. This is tied to each deployed feature, so if you have multiple features deployed inside your App blocking a user from one feature does not block them from all your deployed features. When you block someone, they are quarantined in your settings — Blocked Users section, which also allows you to reverse the block if you change your mind.
A touchy subject of the recent years… Shadow banning is when your voice and post is suppressed in its reach without your consent. BudLink is built to always keep our App owners in control. There is no code or algorithm inside the BudLink network that allows Shadow Banning, so rest assured it cannot even happen accidently. Your content and your message are controlled by you, ALWAYS!!
If you have ever experienced a bot attack you know how un-fair, you are treated by the large freemium social platforms. That is why BudLink is structured to place our App owners above any massive reporting efforts. Since your App is built to allow you to handle all your reporting issues, this makes it impossible for a large-scale bot attack to automatically lock up your App or place you in BudLink Jail. In fact, BudLink jail does not exist, and should you find yourself ever experiencing a bot attack on BudLink the roles are reversed which means you’re in the driver’s seat to notify support of the attack and the Bot account gets reviewed and banned by BudLink. We feel this makes much more sense them what Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter does. Again, it is our mission to always keep our App owners in control.
All Apps on the BudLink network are design to be self-policing by the App owners. This hardline stance ensures that changes to your App and its message are controlled by the one who understands your business the best, not some employee in a review center who has zero clue about your business. Now with that said, BudLink can and will intervene if we are legally required to, but even that is not a decision BudLink makes. A BudLink intervention will only occur when legally required with factual supporting documentation submitted by a lawyer to BudLink’s general counsel. Additionally, BudLink will never intervene without bringing the legal matter to our App owners’ attention and will be used as a last resort.
Public communities are just that… Anyone in the global BudLink network can choose to participate in anything that is public. However, for them to post they must first subscribe to your community or app, which prevents ghost posting.
Setting your community to private means that anyone in the global BudLink network can see that you have a private community but cannot access or participate until you approve their entry. When the user subscribes to a private community, the App owner can present questions or document proof to be passed along with their subscription request. The user then sits in Pending mode while the App owner is notified of the request and is only allowed into the private community once they have been approved by the App owner. These are great for exclusive access and or monetized community networking.
Hidden communities are only visible to the users that you manually setup access for. These are great for back office, employees, internal teams, clubs, etc. No other subscribers to your App will even know it exists.
Your App has built in direct messaging chat, which is controlled by the App owner as a on/off setting inside their community. Like every other feature in BudLink the App owner controls when and if a subscriber to their App can start a chat with them or a team member of the App. However, even if the direct chat is turned off, that just means your App subscribers can’t start a chat with you, but you can always start one with them as soon as they become a subscriber of your App. Also, there is a complete record of all chat threads stored with your App, which in the event you need a thread transcript the App owner can request it through BudLink App Support. Additionally, the App owner is the only one who can request a complete delete of these threads, so rest assured BudLink has your back should you have an employee conflict and need to recover data.

Even though Jane has their own app for their storefront clients, we allow Jane customers to leverage BudLink LiveSync™. This is important, as historically just having an ordering app typically isn’t enough to keep your customers focused. Operators who wish to protect themselves from brand dilution marketplaces, can easily connect their Jane storefront to their App on BudLink and provide an entire suite of services to re-engage their customers, and grow their revenue.
Weedmaps is one of the largest brand dilution platforms in the Cannabis industry but, they do have eyeballs. We have found that nationally that is the case, but when you leverage BudLink LIveSync™ with your Weedmaps live embed menu you can mitigate your brand dilution issue. The reason is that we only sync with your menu and therefore your local audience is only searching your products. This becomes a must for those markets that are having operators racing to the bottom with price comparisons.
Leafly is another pioneer in the Cannabis industry but like many of the first to market platforms, they were all built to favor the consumer not the operator. Therefore, they promote brand dilution as they are focused on helping the consumer find the best deal. We have found that when you leverage BudLink LIveSync™ with your Leafly live embed menu you can mitigate your brand dilution issue. The reason is that we only sync with your menu and therefore your local audience is only searching your products.
