HOW BARS, CLUBS AND RESTAURANTS CAN REACH AND ENGAGE MORE CUSTOMERS THROUGH BULK SMS SERVICE?
SMS mobile marketing is the number one marketing channel for promoting bars, restaurant and clubs, especially in this era. The cost of SMS publicity is much lower than flyers, posters, printed newsletters, magazine or radio ads, and the ROI is extremely high in this sector.
Getting customers through the door and leaving with a smile on their face is very necessary. It is vitally important to retain customers and keep them coming back. With hundreds of bars, clubs and restaurants in every city, it is important that these places get customers returning, and a great way of doing this is using SMS.
Below are ways that bars, clubs and restaurants can use SMS to increase sales, reach and increase customer satisfaction
1. Communicate Offers and Promotions
SMS gets the job of communicating news and events most efficiently. A promotional SMS, featuring discount, news about a sale or particular offers impact the client in two ways: firstly the obvious bonus he gets by using the offer in the message and secondly the feeling of exclusiveness that the reader experiences in getting a personal message. In this case, even if you don’t sell a particular offer, it still works towards the cause of creating brand awareness. It is possible to create personalized offers to different segments of your target.
2. Targeted communication
As a food business owner, you can tailor a promotional SMS campaign to specific customers. SMS Marketing is far more refined, elaborate and friendly. Customer purchase history can be used to establish customer profiles, making it easier to reach your targeted customers through SMS Marketing.
Using Ozioma app makes it possible to reach larger and specific clients through target marketing.
