So, how did these two “meet”?

While surfing social media, we noticed a problem. What the FORK was using Facebook to communicate location info to customers.

Did you know that, on average, only 16% of your Facebook posts show up in newsfeed?

What happens when you rely on social media to spread the word about your menu and location?

You miss your window of opportunity.

925 SUBSCRIBERSOpted in to their list.

What the FORK.

Currently, they have 3,496 subscribers on their list.

Actually, by the time you read this case study, they’ll probably have tipped 5,000. So the question remains …

WHY AREN’T YOU USING TEXT MARKETING TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS?No, really. What’s the reason?

*Awkward silence*

TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO THINK OF AN EXCUSE.

Meanwhile, What the FORK will continue to rake in business.

Now, let’s connect the dots…

Sure, they had to give away one free taco in exchange for opt in.

But that one taco bought them an exclusive and immediate touchpoint with a valuable customer for months, even years to come.

“It’s a fantastic service. We certainly see more ROI using this channel of marketing compared

to social or email. There’s no other service with the ability to send content directly into the

hands of your customer."
