TEXT Bux

One of my entroopreneurial ventures was to create a Flyer that was placed on Pizza boxes and stuck to the top of the Delivery Box when delivered of handed out to customers. This Flyer had a space in the middle for a special deal on Pizzas and Ads of local biz were around the edges.....

Well...after noon today i stopped in at the pizza biz that I had use my Flyers and the owner was there and he told me that BOTH....Take-Out and Delivery were way UP this "Holy Week"....and...as I was watching one of his helpers stack the delivery boxes ...and remove a box...insert a pizza and hand it to a customer...who went out the door...and....while he was walking away...his phone rang ....he stopped....took the phone off his belt and started talking.

This scene caused me to think...what if there was a way to contact that customer...on his phone....with a special pizza deal. Would he answer the phone? Probably!....even if the message was a TEXT....offering a special deal IF he showed the Pizza clerk the message he received?

Now....I know that close to 100% of phones ARE answered and....if there was a special deal ....a high percentage would probably respond so....the question is.....HOW to collect those Phone Numbers?

Well...there's 2 ways I thought of...1) stick a Discount Coupon on the box with the words...."TEXT PIZZA TO 555-321-1234"...and 2) put a Sign near the cash register with...."SAVE 15% ON YOUR ORDER....TEXT PIZZA TO 555-321-1234.

So....I found a website that has the exact software I could set up to handle this. www.ContactReach.com?

So....if I could offer a Pizza biz (or ANY restaurant) that would like to have me collect Phone Numbers of customers....and TEXT them and give them a Reason to make another Purchase....would restaurant owners be willing to pay me to do this for them?

You Betcha, Red Ryder!

So....I'm off on another Entroopreneer Ride

Avg. Pizza in my town- 15.00. And they too are WAY UP. Most of them.

At a 15% (2.25) discount, why would they? PLUS, they have to pay you.

Would the discount be for pick up only? Certain days of the week, certain times?

2.25 + 2.00 for delivery + $ for you...why would a shop lose over 5.00 (33%) when things are booming right now?

Good luck with the TEXT bux, SMS and these discounts have been around for years now, welcome to 2020.

Ya Gordon....you are quite right.....except for one major thingamajig.....if the restaurant is having a slow day....or whenever they would like a bunch of orders to come in....Holidays....etc.....

I HAVE THEIR CUSTOMER LIST!!!

As I told my first client....."do YOU want to let the Market determine your weekly and Monthly Gross......just "HOPE" that locals see your ads or order because they "Feel" like it? This program gives YOU some control over your business"!

We do a minimum of FOUR Text messages a month!...and.....it's been PROVEN, OVER and over....."TEXT CALLS ARE ANSWERED"!!!

So...the LEAST increase in sales is 25%.....MOST participating biz get 50% increase in biz! With one biz with a list of 87 diners.....a Text message on a Thurs morn.....brought in AN EXTRA 36 orders that day!

Granted.....those "extra" orders could have been caused by "normal Hunger Pangs"...but....I doubt it!
