Within seconds to minutes. You can't say the same for email, postal mail or any of the "old school" advertising methods (TV, Radio, Print Ads, Newspapers, Magazines or Yellow Pages.)
The "New York Times" says Text Marketing is "The MOST powerful advertising media ever invented". Everyone has a cell phone these days. So why not capitalize on this technology that's already available and promote and brand your business whenever you want!
HERE'S HOW "TEXT MARKETING" CAN HELP YOU...
Get your own keyword. Lets say you own the "HBN Sandwich Shop". You simply register the keyword of "HBN" on the short code of 82222 . Now when people come into "HBN Sandwich Shop" to eat, they are given a receipt for their food - on it is printed the words, Text HBN to 82222 to receive future discounts; or when they drive by "HBN Sandwich Shop" - they see a sign on the window that says Text HBN to 82222 to save money.
NOW YOUR CUSTOMER SENDS A "TEXT MESSAGE"...
To 82222 with the Keyword "HBN" (from their Cell Phone) and they are asked to confirm their request by hitting OK (Optin Permission Based System with Auto-Out Stop System.) Next, your customized reply text message is automatically sent (like a email autoresponder) with your business card information containing your Name and Active Phone Number, Email, Web Page and URL - on it. Now this customer has joined your database (which you can now see in your passcoded back office on your computer.)
AS A BUSINESS OWNER YOU CAN NOW...
Send your customers a text message whenever you want them to come back in to your business and enjoy what you have to offer. Slow times become fast times. You can send them discount coupons for future purchases or just inform them about your new menu item. Whatever your business, whatever your offering, this system will work for you.
BUT IT DOESN'T STOP THERE...
Depending upon the package you purchase for your business, you will also receive printed business cards which are tailored to your business with your logo or graphics along with your KEYWORD and Short Code 82222 - plus your customers can call in and get $5.00 in free international long distance. This encourages your customers to get your business card - because it benefits them.
