If you don't have a relationship management system for your coffee shop then how are you announcing your specials?

Coffee shops have become the new social hot-spot for people to gather and conduct informal business meetings, socialize and to just relax, outside of their homes.

A successful coffee shop will incorporate many elements to build a relationship with it’s customers and make them want to come back again and again.

The use of mobile marketing is one of those elements that can result in repeat business if you know how to use it. Here are some great ideas to get you started using text message marketing for your coffee shop.

Send daily specials via text or Picture-Text such as:

  • Free expresso shot.

  • Free upsize with text coupon.

  • Double points on customer loyalty card.

  • New syrup flavor(s).

  • Seasonal drink announcements.

  • Picture-Text of “Barista of the Week or Month”.

  • Picture-Text of “Customer of the Month”.
