Service-Related Businesses' Whole Livelihood Depends On Loyalty

 

Whether your business is a hair salon, drycleaner, nail salon, carwash, day spa or another type of service - your customer loyalty is key since you see your customers more frequently than virtually any other business. Your "regulars" may frequent your establishment several times per month - and your goal is to keep them coming back!

 

Your clients need your service...but they do have other options. New salons, spas, carwashes and drycleaners are popping up all over town. Utilizing a 505 Text Message Marketing campaign will provide you with a direct, personal line of communication to your customers for promotions, special offers and to keep them informed of happenings within your business - all while building stronger customer loyalty.

 

 

 

 

Text Message Marketing service can also help with improved efficiency by promoting quiet times during the week to fill appointments or by sending out appointment reminders to customers to reduce last-minute cancellations.

What can a Text Marketing Campaign Do For Your Business?

 

505 Text's marketing campaigns put your message in your customer's hands - immediately! For instance, daytime during the week may be a slower time at your salon or spa. You may advertise in a local coupon publication or newspaper, but with promotions like these - you're hoping the customer remembers to clip your coupon - or even looks at your ad. With a 505 Text-powered mobile marketing campaign, you can reach hundreds of those customers in seconds. You can create an offer that encourages your clients to make an appointment during your slow times - say 20% off your services valid Monday - Friday from 10am - 4pm. You've now created more traffic in your establishment during down times, which keeps your staff happy and gives your business the "happening place to be" look instead of the "ghost town" look, which in turn, can attract more customers.

 

 

Unless you're in a warmer-climate region, carwashes do the bulk of their business from March - October. You can use your busy season to build your database of clients, providing casual offers on a regular basis. Then, during the off-season, create a VIP program that gives your customers a 50% savings on all carwashes from November - February. With this type of Text Message Marketing campaign, your seasonal business can be strong all year long!

 

With our web-based software you can also plan and conduct coupon campaigns, a popular and quickly growing solution that is portable, individually targeted, and best of all, paperless.

 

505 Text Message Marketing creates opportunities for salons, spas, drycleaners and carwashes with promotional ideas that you never dreamed possible - that can be created instantly. Instant action means instant results. Our (SMS) text messaging web-based software is simple to use, allowing you to focus on developing a powerful, cost effective marketing strategy that takes advantage of the latest technology.
