The Power of SMS for Local Businesses

Did you know that a ton of local business sales happen every week because of text messages?

Whether it’s a dental patient confirming an appointment, a plumber answering a question from a concerned homeowner, or a personal trainer answering a workout question for his/her client, a ton of small conversions happen every week because of something that was said in a text message from a potential customer who has the phone number of the small business owner and feels comfortable texting them.

The trick is how they get the business number…

Most of the time, they got it from a friend/referral who is already a customer. Meanwhile, small businesses freely publish their cell phone numbers on their websites or various marketing channels for increased visibility, but prospects would still have to manually key in the number or include it in their contact list in order to send an SMS.
