Set up a short code or mobile keyword with a reputable service (Example: BizM3) Make sure that you have all the capabilities you want (polls,

trivia, tracking, etc.) Most importantly, there must be a confirmation of opt in and

the ability to opt out- it’s the law!

Pick a mobile keyword that communicates the customer or their business name. Example: If customer’s name is John, use

keyword John123, or if it’s John’s Pizza, use JohnPizza123

Use a coupon or something that will incentivize your customer to opt in. People will not opt in if all

you do is spam them. Keep in touch with your

customers with specials, coupons, and important information.

App Pushes

An “App push” pushes information to your phone, and it shows up like a text message would.

For instance, if someone were to write on your wall, if you had push notifications turn on, you'd get a notification on your phone saying "So and so has written on your wall"
