3seventy SMS Coupon Grows Pita Pit Franchisees Database
Austin, TX (PRWEB) May 17, 2016 -- 3Seventy, a leading global provider of SMS mobile marketing and engagement solutions, today announced a new single use coupon technology that produced triple digit results for select Pita Pit franchises.
“We were frustrated with social sharing coupon sites because the same people kept coming in and using coupons. We wanted to grow our customer base, not continue to discount product to existing customers,” said Jack Brighenti, Pita Pit franchise owner.
The new 3Seventy platform allows retailers and restaurants to run text-in coupon campaigns without any integration to a POS or E-Commerce system. Here’s how it works:
· Customers opt in to receive a coupon by texting a keyword to a short code and getting a text message back that confirms their permission to join the program. The keyword can publicized through social media as well as in store displays.
· A single use SMS text coupon link is generated and sent to end user which prevents reposting of coupons.
· The link takes them to a branded and customizable webpage that has a “redeem” button. The customer shows the text at the register to get your special offer. The person at the register clicks the redeem button and the link and coupon are no longer valid after redemption.
“It’s exciting to work with companies who are ready to use SMS marketing to grow their revenues and their customer base,” notes John Wright, CEO of 3Seventy. “Engaging customers is important but the end game is helping our customers make money. Pita Pit grew its customer base over 300% in just 6 months. There were no IT costs and re-coupon fraud was completely reduced."
