textALERT example from last month
Last month, a Mexican Restaurant in Glasgow, KY sent out a textALERT campaign offering “15% off any order” that ran for 3 days.They were able to get 42 customers to redeem the offer, (6.17%) of their total subscribers. Using textALERTs to target slow days or slow periods of the day is ideal and works well to bring in customers! See the message below.
