Provide Mobile Coupons

Everyone loves a crazy good deal, especially if it is from a company that they love already. Giving more incentives to people who want to potentially purchase your products will undoubtedly push them over the edge, because the reality is, who can give up a good deal? SMS texting makes this easy by providing MMS where you can also send QR codes for easy access to coupons

Contests are a fun way to spice up the holiday season and make campaigns more interesting. Whether it is a free raffle through social media or a prize that you provide through SMS texts, contests work everytime. We highly recommend utilizing your social media websites in order to gain more leads, and encourage them to sign up for SMS texts where they can be updated and constantly have access to your company. 

Give Out Tips
