If you offer to let your customers know when you have any promotions, they will be more than happy to give you their phone number so you can stay in touch.
QR Code
We give you table top QR codes that let your customers know they will get notified when you have any deals or discounts.
Scan
Your customers scan the QR codes, and give you their phone numbers, and permission to send them messages. Our system adds them to your list. The process only takes a few seconds and makes your customers feel like they are joining a special club.
Send
We give you easy to use tools to send your customers messages whenever you have any deals, discounts, vouchers or anything else that is valuable to them.
