It’s a great  compliment to    the   other forms of communications we use. Our younger  members    especially   have told us they prefer receiving text messages to     emails.

<p>&#8220;After sending out our first   message   offering half price wine we had  a large table come to the   restaurant   in response. One of the  customers told me they had intended   on going   to D&#8217;vine Wine for the  evening and then having a late dinner on   that   side of town. After  they received our text they changed their   plans   and decided to come  downtown and have wine and dinner in one   place.   Their ticket was  over $1,200. Had we not used text message marketing,   they   would have dined  elsewhere!&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;We chose text message advertising because of the platform and the results it has brought for other large restaurant operating groups.    The trial program they designed went so well that we leased a dedicated    short code and now promote the service at all 79 of our locations. The    response has been great and the ROI has been unbelievable. With so  much   emphasis today on email and social media, we have found that the  mobile   opt-in is the easiest way to kick-start our guest relations and    ultimately deliver positive, motivating messages that enhance all of  our   marketing channels.&#8221;</p>
