Text Messaging: An Efficient Way to Reach Customers
As restaurants reopen and plan for a busy fall, they need effective marketing tools to connect with customers. Text messaging makes it simple for restaurants to stay in touch with people and keep them informed of their latest menus, specials, and events.
Compared to other marketing options, such as email and social media, text messaging provides a fast and efficient way for businesses to reach their often busy and distracted customers.
Research shows that 98% of text messages are opened (in contrast to email, where the open rate is around 20%) and that most people read their texts within a few seconds of receiving them. This makes text message marketing an ideal choice for restaurants, which need to keep customers updated with timely information.
