Specials and reminders, by text

SMS Marketing

Texts customers actually read

Example restaurant · A text, as it lands

Short, timely, opted in

A text reaches the customers who never open email. It suits the short, time-bound things: tonight’s special, this week’s event, a change of hours. We set up the list, write the messages and send them, planned alongside the rest of your marketing rather than bolted on as a separate tool.

A slow Tuesday, filled

A text sent at four o’clock lands while people are deciding on dinner. We write the offer, keep it short, and put your name first so they know who it’s from.

  • Offers and specials

    The night you want busier, said in a sentence.

  • Written for you

    Every message is drafted here, in your voice.

  • Sent at the right hour

    When it’s useful to read, not at midnight.

Example restaurant · The special, opened

Sign-ups where they already are

The best list is the people who already like you. We put the sign-up where they already are, with a clear reason to join and the rules printed right on it.

  • In store

    A card by the register: text a word, or scan the code.

  • On your website

    A sign-up box with the same wording.

  • At your events

    Collected where people are already having a good time.

Example restaurant · Sign-up card at the host stand

Every number on the list asked to be there, and every text says how to leave. We set up the consent wording and the opt-out, so STOP works on every message.

  • Consent in writing

    The first reply says what they’ll get and how often.

  • Your name on every text

    So nobody wonders who sent it.

  • STOP that works

    One word takes them off the list, and they hear nothing more.

Example restaurant · Joining, and leaving

A list you own

The list lives in your account, not ours. It shows where each person signed up and when they said yes, and it sorts them into groups by what they come in for.

  • In your name

    The platform and the number are set up under your account.

  • Consent on record

    Where and when each person joined, kept properly.

  • Sorted into groups

    Regulars, takeout, wine dinner guests.

Example restaurant · Contacts, in its own account

Sent when it’s useful

A few texts a month, planned before the month starts, each one to the people it’s for. Few enough that people stay subscribed.

  • Planned ahead

    Specials, events and holiday hours, on the calendar early.

  • To the right people

    A wine dinner reminder goes to the guests who booked.

  • A written read

    What got a response each month shapes what gets sent next.

Questions we get

Anything else? Call 631-551-6880.

How much does SMS marketing cost?

Most small businesses invest $1,500–$5,000 per month for ongoing work. Individual projects are quoted per engagement, and every engagement starts with a free consultation.

How is SMS different from email for a local business?

It reaches people who never open email, and it suits short, time-bound messages: a service special, an event, a change of hours. We plan it alongside the rest of the channel mix rather than as a standalone tool.

Do you handle it in-house?

Everything is produced in-house by one team out of our own studio. The people who plan it are the people who make it.
