How to Build a Large Database of Customers
To be successful with text marketing, it starts by effectively building a large database of customers that want to receive texts. We have multiple ways to ensure you build a strong database of customers.
Claim Keyword
Claim your FREE keyword and market it online using your website, social media sites, in-store print materials or any other preferred advertisement methods.
Use unique keywords to track the effectiveness of your other forms of marketing and to target customers.
TL Connects Sign-up Kiosk
With the TL Connects LTE-enabled custom sign-up kiosk you’ll increase your sign-ups as much as 10x. The kiosk will be placed at your point-of-sale, hostess station, or bring one to an event.
Track Your Offers
With the kiosk you can now track all your offers. When sending out a text message, the customer will be asked to redeem at kiosk and once they redeem they will receive a time stamp and dated claim text. You can also promote keywords on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites through marketing with a unique keyword that activates an offer for your customer to redeem at the kiosk.
Advertise Online with Neighborhood Deals
We’ve curated a database of millions of subscribers looking for deals in their neighborhoods. We promote your business at no charge which not only helps you drive in new customers, but it also helps you build your database so you can turn them into repeat customers.

Quickly create textALERT campaigns or schedule custom auto-responders sent automatically to customers at pre-determined intervals, such as 1 hour, minutes after sign-up.
textALERT Types
MMS (image, up to 640 characters)
MMS is a great way to wow your customer with a picture or a fun gif. It’s also a great way to show off food or product which increases the response rate up to 25%. With 640 characters you’ll easily be able to get your message across.
SMS (up to 160 characters)
Don’t need to say a lot? SMS is a quick and efficient way to get your message out.
Trigger-based Auto-Responders
With auto-responders you can map out SMS & MMS’s from the time a customer signs-up. For example 1 hour after sign-up you can send them an MMS with links to your social media & website. Or even ask for their birthday to celebrate their big day.

Merchants are talking
The TL program has been a great addition to my local store marketing. I have several stores with 3000+ customer sign ups! This large database allows me to increase revenue by sending out textALERTS about $5 Friday, promote additional offers and or sell gift cards!
TL Connects helps us easily connect with our guest! This company is great to work with!
An economical way to reach out to the customer and simple enough that it is not intimidating to less computer savvy customers. This software seems to be very flexible and can be designed to meet the needs of different establishments.
Software drives footsteps into our store which we in turn convert to dollars in the register. This product is very easy to use and I recommend it to everyone who will listen.
