What is SMS text messaging?
SMS stands for short messaging service. SMS text messages are sent by businesses to consumers, usually as a form of promotion.
Why use SMS for my restaurant?
SMS text marketing allows restaurants to send promotional deals to customers, such as a free appetizer or a percent off their next meal. The customer then comes into your restaurant and shows the text to receive the promotion. These messages can be targeted for special events or during specific times of the day in order to drive sales.
For instance, you can send out a promotion a half hour before noon to get customers to come to your restaurant for lunch. Maybe you want to send out a text message offering drink specials on a low traffic night. It’s simple, lightning-fast, and allows the potential for new customers.
Expand your clientele
By sending out regular SMS text messages promoting your restaurant's exclusive offers, you build a loyal clientele, while also allowing the opportunity to reach new patrons through customer referrals. A restaurant patron who has signed up for your SMS text messaging service may bring along friends or family who also want to sign up for your service, or they may forward your text to a friend.
How do I get customers to sign up?
Simply advertise your restaurant's SMS text marketing program via your website, print ads, table tents, or have your servers promote it. Most establishments include some form of immediate benefit, such as a percent off on their meal, to entice people to join the program. All customers need to do is text a keyword to a five digit number. For instance, your server might ask her tables to text “TGIF” to “12345” to get 10% of tonight’s meal.
