3 Tips to Enhance $5 Friday<\/h1>\r\n

$5 Friday is a great way to reward your loyal customers and get a few extra visits a year from customers that are not quite as loyal as you\u2019d like them to be. \u00a0When creating a local marketing strategy, it\u2019s important\u00a0to build a cohesive plan to capture customer’s contact information and efficiently communicate added value. \u00a0When customers visit your store, they are spending money with you because you have something they are craving. \u00a0What are you doing to reignite that craving after they leave?<\/p>\r\n\r\n

One of the best ways to grow your business and your $5 Friday\u2019s is by getting permission to alert your customers of specials via SMS, MMS, e-mail, and through social media channels. \u00a0You may say, “But I\u2019m busy running my business and my employees are busy making smoothies, \u00a0how on earth can I get them to continually try and sign customers up for these programs?” \u00a0The answer is you don\u2019t!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Here are 3 tips to help enhance your $5 Friday promotion, or any local promotion, for that matter.<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Put a self serve sign-up kiosk at your point of sale to capture your customer’s information and gain permission to communicate.\u00a0 (Include Picture of kiosk at POS)<\/li>\r\n
  2. Send an enticing picture of a smoothie via MMS to your customer’s cell phones to activate their visual senses. \u00a0MMS has a 98% open rate with 90% in the first 90 seconds. \u00a0With these types of open rates, you’re sure to drive traffic to your store. (Include picture of phone with example text)<\/li>\r\n
  3. Do a “First 10 in get a FREE Smoothie.” \u00a0Who doesn\u2019t love a good competition? \u00a0And everyone loves FREE . \u00a0You can include in your MMS or SMS a secret code that the first 10 people have to tell the cashier to get a FREE Smoothie.<\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n\r\n
