DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 23, 2020 / Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. ("Leafbuyer" or "the Company") (OTCQB:LBUY), a leading cannabis technology company, has experienced significant increases across its technology and marketing platforms due to the cannabis industry’s annual April 20th celebrations.
Compared to the previous four-day period, the Company realized a 230% increase in text usage from April 17 to April 20, 2020.

During the same time period, Leafbuyer.com experienced a 34% spike in site
traffic.
"Despite the COVID-19 crisis and the resulting restrictions on cannabis businesses, consumers were still excited to participate in the 4/20 festivities from their homes," said Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer. "Our clients understood the importance of providing timely communications to their customers about special deals and how to purchase products during this period of social
distancing.”
Leafbuyer has experienced increased platform usage during each 4/20 season, and the numbers rise every year as the platform grows.
