Having purchased your
text-connect™ package there are a few common
sense things we encourage you to do to maximise it's
impact on your business, depending on how you plan to
use text-connect. |
|
| |
|
|
| Tell
your customers! |
Tell your customers you can receive their texts !
Include your 'text number' in all your advertising,
print, promotional materials, sales receipts. Add
it to your Yellow Pages contact information.
If you have an automated phone system use 'hold'
message to tell customers they can text. We are developing
a 'marketing kit' which you can use to inform your
clients about text-connect™
|
|
| Inform
everyone else you can receive texts |
Issue a Press Release
to all the relevant media in your area and for your
industry reporting your use of text-messaging. We can
help. Contact us for our standard Press Release for
you to modify and distribute. |
|
| Run
a 'registration' competition |
A key benefit
of text-connect™ is getting your text number
into your customers 'phone book' so that they can find
you easily when they need your service the next. We
suggest running an introductory competition with a prize
draw for everyone who texts you their name during the
first month. Your texted reply back to them should suggest
that they save your text number in their 'phone book'
NOW. |

As your clients start
to use your text number you will build a list of your
customer's mobile numbers. This list is incredibly valuable
to you because it gives you the option of telling your
clients about your special offers, events or news via
text directly to their mobile. The usage of these numbers
will need to be managed in compliance with current data
protection legislation, possibly in conjunction with
a 'opt-in' system. |
|
| Reminders |
Many businesses use
text messaging to jog customers memories about about
appointments or reminders. Other applications include
'happy birthday' greetings and other 'key' date reminders. |
