Text Message Marketing For Coffee Shops


According to a research conducted by the Mobile Marketing Association, mobile advertising and marketing is slated to rise by 26 percent this year, making it one of the most interactive, effective and results-oriented marketing options for small- and medium- sized businesses.

If you run a coffee shop, use this powerful marketing medium to reach a huge database of opt-in local and regional customers. The medium is evolving fast as a powerful advertising platform and mustn’t be ignored by coffee shops that need to compete with the big guns.

Star mobile marketing offers coffee shops the chance to reach more customers and bring your business into prominence by establishing a strong presence.

Send periodical discount coupons and voucher codes. Text coffee shop offers and events. Detail new products directly to mobile phones. For example, you can give away free coffee on a specific day of the week and can remind your customers via a text message.

Provide special offers for your opt-in customers. If your coffee shop does excellent business during the week but business falls off on weekends, offer a discount on gourmet coffees weekends and send mobile coupons to customers instantly Saturday and/or Sunday. This is an excellent way to get your weekday customers to visit your coffee shop on weekends, too.

You can advertise offers in coupon magazines, on your website or in any or all local newspapers. You can even post details of the offer in your shop. In just a few weeks you’ll be surprised at the increase in sales. Innovate.  Send details of your Saturday and Sunday offers via SMS mobile marketing to your regular customers. Have a contest: have customers answer questions on popular topics. Invite the winners in each topic to compete for the grand prize in an exclusive game. Fun activities like these are simple to initiate with mobile marketing.
