Overview and Benefits
Text Messaging is 30 times more effective than any other type of marketing. By sending a bulk group SMS message, you can fill your restaurant or bar during slow times. Send daily specials menu or happy hour drink offer.
Reach and engage your customers directly on their mobile phones and increase sales. Social media posts may be ignored and emails are just not opened much. For comparison, email open rates are 14% to 20% versus the impressive open rates of up to 98% of text message.
Through our work with Restaurants and Bars, we have discovered several important benefits of text message marketing:
Collect customer data - promote your mobile keyword "Text NYSPECIAL to 41242 to join our list and receive valuable invites and specials"
Text with weekly specials - "Specials for this week: Monday - roasted duck, Tue- seared scallops, Wed..."
Send out coupons - Example "Happy hour with $5 Lychee martinis every Wednesday"
Ask for feedback about the client experience - Example "How did you find your dining experience. Tell us how to improve"
Text to inform of any new items on your menu - Example "Come in to try our new..."
Text with holiday wishes and specials, and bring traffic to your restaurants on key dates - Example "Join us for dinner today and receive a complimentary Tiramisu with your dinner for your Birthday"
Send daily menus - Looking for more customers for your lunch specials? Send daily specials menu. Example: “Our lunch special is $14.99, including soup, pasta, and dessert. View menu @ https://ptxt.me”
