Did you know there are over 152 billion mobile text messages sent each month? Text Messaging is one of the most effective ways to get your business in front of your customer.
We know that 90% of text messages are opened up by your target customer in the first minute after receipt. This makes text messaging a great way to communicate with your customer base and remind them of who you are and what you have to offer.
You can have a scheduled message, or even elaborate marketing campaign all planned out in advance.
Perhaps you know that on a certain day you're slow or there's a special that you're running that you want to let people know about. Maybe you've got a local singer or band playing on a Friday or Saturday night and you can start driving interest in that several days in advance. Or you can engage in broadcast messages that announce an update about your restaurant.
So you can send out a broadcast message and say something like "The first 10 people that come in tonight are going to get a free appetizer!". Think that might draw 10 people? You can say "The first 10 people that show us this text are going to get a free drink". There are a lot of powerful things you can do when you send out a broadcast message and you can control the message and you can control the frequency that it goes out.
If you are a daytime restaurant, maybe you want to build your lunch crowd and you can send out a text for a lunch special. Maybe at 11:15, people are starting to get hungry and thinking about what they want for lunch that day. Within minutes, your whole "mobile list" will be reading your promotion!
Is this giving you some ideas?
Have a great day!
