Text messaging is the whisper in the ear of your potential clients. Even in a crowded room or meeting, they will still get your message. Text messaging will often work when an actual phone call will not. If you are a small business owner, this is a MUST HAVE due to it’s effectiveness and affordability. You could potentially create your own special every day of the week to drive traffic to your business.
Imagine you own a restaurant and it’s a slow day. You’d really like to pump up your sales but what do you do? What if you had a way to notify all your customers of a 20% off deal to all your interested customers at 11:15 just in time for the lunch rush? Do you think that would make a difference? You bet it would and you can do this just by sending a text!
Display
Display your text-2-join keyword on table tents, menu’s, posted signs and of course your web site if your restaurant has one. If the offer is enticing enough a potential customer will see it and happily join for the incentive of a discount or a free item of food clients anywhere they go.
Collect
Use other alternative means to collect some of your valuable customers information. Raffle off prizes with tickets where customers can fill out their information. Have a line printed on the bottom of the receipt check that allows for a mobile number. Add the web opt-in widget to the sign up page on your web site.
Broadcast
When you are having a slow day with sales, send out a mass message to your list of clients and sit back and watch them flow in. Give updates on promotion and sales you’re offering. Keep your regular clients updated with new products you may be adding to your menu.
