Step 2) Promote Your Keyword: Promote your number and keyword on your existing marketing campaigns (radio, print, newspaper), store front (at the cash register, table, etc), website, social media, etc. For Example: Your advertisement on Facebook, website, business card, or newspaper might say: Text “PIZZA” to 888-444-2332 to receive a Free Drink and get special offers!

Step 3) Customers/Leads Opt-In: When a person opts in by sending the keyword to the number they will receive an auto response which you can customize – great for instant savings/coupons/etc. This adds them to your marketing list which you can text anytime.

Step 5) Reap Your Rewards: Text messages have a more than thirty percent response rate making it the most effective way of marketing. Send out your marketing messages for daily, weekly or monthly events, specials, or reminders and watch your business grow.
