Are you a new business trying to find new ways to engage the community around you? Are you about to have a grand opening and you're wondering how you can build momentum and hype amongst new and prospective customers? Trumpia’s SMS messaging software is an essential communication tool for any new business trying to break into the scene. 

With the ability to follow up on new leads and send constant updates, SMS texting can provide new businesses with new ways to promote their product while improving their brand awareness. 

Below you’ll find some of the top ways you can use SMS texting for your business today!

Sweepstakes and Giveaways

One way a new business can start building momentum is by launching a contest/competition that shows how fun and exciting your company is. A contest is also an easy way to get leads to convert into subscribers. One way you can set up a sweepstake is by having people subscribe in order to enter in a raffle where they can win a unique prize. At the end of the campaign or whenever you are ready to open, you can announce the winner. This prize should be relevant to your business and products - ultimately highlighting what your company can offer to the rest of the world. Just make sure you provide proper disclosure to your subscribers.

Specials Promotions and Offers

People not only love a good contest, but they also love the opportunity to gain any coupons or deals that may be awaiting them. Celebrate your grand opening by offering coupons to anyone who signs up to your text promotion in order to gain updates and live information on your company. This is a great way to utilize MMS–show off your coupon and products in a creative video, image, or more that you can advertise on any platform. Make sure that you utilize social media to promote your contests.

Capture Valuable Data

If you are a new business, it can be intimidating trying to learn about your customers and their interests. What better way to learn about them than to ask them directly! With SMS texting, you can have subscribers text in anything they would like to see from your company or any products that they may want. For example, if you are in a coffee shop and you ask, “What drinks would you like to see on the menu?”customers can quickly text  their responses for you to see and adjust your business to.

Personalize Messages

Finally, you want to make sure that you personalize text messages and make campaigns specific to the individual receiving it. In the early stages of any company, it is far more important that you are building loyal clients rather than trying to reach out to every single person. Like in any relationship, relationships built out of trust are far superior to multiple shallow relationships. Trumpia allows companies to create pre-saved templates that can be designed to be catered to the individual. Include their name and thank them personally in order to make your subscribers feel heard and cared for. 

While starting a new business may be a daunting task, you can help solve so many of the issues a new business comes across by utilizing our SMS texting software.
