"With our first coupon alone we had a 29% response rate," explained Simplie Smoothie owner Matt Ricketts. But Ricketts plans for text as a customer service tool does not stop with special pricing and coupon offers: "We want to use texting as a tool for our customers to view nutritional and calorie information of all our menu items as they are considering our menu board," Ricketts added. "The easy to use web-based MESSAGEbuzz system is simple and quick to use, which is a real bonus in a small family owned enterprise," Ricketts explained.
