What makes your SMS service different?
We make text message marketing profitable. We help you build a list of your best customers and send effective messages to entice them to return to your business and spend more. The business dashboard also tracks the progress of your campaigns and gives valuable data that will help you understand the effectiveness and streamline the campaigns to maximize results.
How does the broadcast service work?
We help you assemble a list of your best customers. These are the customers that already know and like your business and want to come back. The software allows you to send pre-scheduled and one-time messages to entice them to come back and spend more money. The service generates on average an extra $5,000 to $10,000 per month.
What if someone tries to game the system?
There is currently nothing stopping an individual from requesting additional discounts. In our experience this has not been an issue. The fact is that even if they did try to game it they would still be coming back to your establishment to spend additional money and you benefit from the additional sales. So the end result is everyone benefits. The incentives we encourage you to offer should still allow you to at a minimum to break even on the transaction. It works out to be a low cost form of advertising.
What benefits will I get from my subscription?
We have several types of campaigns that we use. The obvious items are a percentage discount or fixed amount discount. We can also setup Buy One Get One offers. There is also an opportunity to setup no offer broadcasts that can be used to promote live events or other informational items. The software also allows you to segment your list so you only send messages to a specific group. All of the relevant data and statistics are available on your dashboard so you will never have to worry if it is working.
Is there a contract or time commitment?
No long-term contract. Stay because it works, not because you're locked in. The service is most effective after the list has been established, so we ask that you give us 3 months to accomplish that. If at any time you do not see the benefits of the service we will part ways and the subscription will end at the end of the month.
Is there a guarantee with your SMS Broadcast Service?
Yes, we are confident that you will see an increase in your monthly revenue that far exceeds the cost of the service. so if after the initial start up phase of building the list if the service has not paid for itself we understand and will go our separate ways.
Will this only work for restaurants?
It is very effective for restaurants, but it can work for any service business. If a service business has opportunities to sell additional services or to additional family members it will be just as effective. An example would be an auto repair shop could offer tire rotation to a customer that just got an oil change or offer services for the other vehicles in the family. The only limitation is your imagination.
What if I have a food truck?
The messaging that we suggest may differ from that of a restaurant, but it can be just as effective for food trucks. Imagine being able to deliver your current location directly to the customers phone without having to rely on them looking at Facebook or their email.
Does the AI pretend to be a person?
No. Before the call, every visitor agrees to receive an AI-generated call, so they know what to expect. The assistant calls in your business's name, sounds natural, and stays friendly and helpful. It never pretends to be someone it isn't and identifies itself as an AI agent at the beginning of the call.
We already have an app, why would I need this?
This tool works well in conjunction with an app. We will work with you to tailor the messaging to compliment the app. There's no need to replace the app because they can co-exist. The advantage to our service is that there is no need to install an app which reduces the friction for the customer. There is no ongoing maintenance from your point of view with our tool, that is handled on our end and you will receive any new features at no cost to you. Your only cost moving forward is the subscription cost.
We already have an active Facebook page and/or email list, why should we add this service?
Email and Facebook pages are two effective methods for communicating with your favorite customers. Let's face the fact, both platforms are noisy and you have to put a lot of extra effort into get their attention. The average open rate for emails according to Mailchimp is 21.3%. Facebook posts require that they visit the app to see your post and Facebook Messenger showed a lot of promise early on. The average open rate through Messenger was around 80%, but recent changes have restricted your ability to market through Messenger without having to pay for ads. Text messaging is virtually 100% from an open rate standpoint. This means you have a much better chance of reaching your customer at the right time.
Can I control what it says?
Completely. It learns your business from your website and Google listing, then writes a draft "playbook": its name, voice, services, hours, answers to common questions, replies to objections, and things it must never say. You review and change any word. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
Does it book appointments?
It works toward the next step you choose: a visit, an estimate, a call back, or a sign-up. It finds out what the caller needs and when works best for them. Then your team gets the details to confirm the time. It will not promise any specific time, that will be up to your team.
What happens with emergencies?
Urgent calls are handled service-first. The assistant collects what's needed, and your team gets a text right away. With the caller's OK, it can also transfer them live to someone you pick, so an emergency never sits in an inbox until morning.
What do I see after each call?
An email to your business with a summary of the conversation and the action items: what they need, how urgent it is, and the next step. Every call is also recorded with a transcript, and all your leads are in one list in your own login, ready to download anytime.
Will it work on my website?
Yes. It works on almost any website with one line of code. It can sit in the corner of any page, inline on a page, or both. No website, or no access to it? You can share its own hosted page in ads, emails, and social posts.
Do callers have to agree first?
Yes. Every visitor ticks a consent box before the call, and anyone who says stop is never called again.
What if a caller asks something it doesn't know?
It only answers from details you've approved. If a question goes beyond that, it says your team will confirm, and the question shows up in your call summary so you can follow up.
How long does setup take?
Minutes, not weeks. It starts by reading your website and Google listing, so most of the work is already done. You just review, fill in anything it missed, and approve.
What happens if I use all my calls for the month?
The widget shows that calls aren't available until your plan resets or you upgrade. You'll never be charged surprise overage fees.
