TEXT SELLS!
Don't leave anything on the table
If you have a brick and mortar business with a window, put your keyword call-to-action up on a sign. Give potential customers a reason to opt-in (like a mobile coupon, which you can automatically text back) and you'll pick up customers who never even step inside your business.
Get more out of print, radio and TV
If you're advertising in print, on the radio or on television, adding an SMS number or keyword call-to-action is a great way to leverage your existing marketing spending. Your target demographic can immediately send a text to your number and opt-in to start receiving marketing information via text.
Text easier than a phone call and less obtrusive
Calling your customers to remind them about appointments, or payment reminders? You're wasting your time and most likely bothering your customers. Send them a text message instead, which they can read when they want to. You'll save time and money too.
Last minute messaging
When you need to let a lot of people know about something at the last minute, nothing beats a text message. For example, if you manage a restaurant and it happens to be a cold, rainy night, send customers a last minute text message enticing them with a mobile coupon that offers a free cup of soup with any entree. Entertainers like musicians, deejays, and comedians, can also text their fan base about last minute performances in their local area.
Text more likely to be read than an email
Email suffers from a SPAM problem. If your marketing message gets through who knows if it will even be read. And despite the fact that more and more Americans own smartphones, most people do not check their email on the go. If you want to reach customers, wherever they are, whenever you need to, text messaging is the best way.
Get busy with a SmushBox
Some days, business can be a little slow. Why sit and wait on customers to come to you when you can reach out to them? With a SmushBox, you can immediately reach out to your customers with a quick daily promotion or to remind them of today's sale. No more slow days! Why be a slave to just TV/radio/print, or even online advertising? Customers aren't always in front of the TV, in their cars or in front of their computers... but they do ALWAYS have their mobile phone with them.
