Textlocal’s Plan to Change British Business with the Launch of Messenger 2.0
In the run up to the Jubilee, Textlocal are on board with all things British and have pledged to change the face of British business with their most powerful online communication system to date, Messenger 2.0.
Textlocal want to get behind British business and believe they have revolutionised online mobile messaging handing them the power to be creative, unique, fast and direct with their communications.
Textlocal CEO and Founder Alastair Shortland explains “Messenger 2.0 could be described as a bespoke project management tool for your mobile messaging campaigns. It has been developed through years of experience working with all types of businesses with the aim of making them more profitable. It has a plethora of new benefits, for example, any business can auto-schedule their entire campaign so that they reach different recipients at specific times, all in literally a few clicks. Imagine how powerful this can be for a busy business owner, like a local hairdresser. Messenger 2.0 gives that hairdresser the power to reach all their customers in seconds with a targeted weekend offer every Friday for the rest of the year, in just a few clicks. It has everything, even a slick reporting system containing graphical displays of all your activity for the past 30 days. There’s nothing like it on the market.”
Textlocal understand the demands and strain on British business and so have developed the most advanced and easy to use system on the market to take some of the pressure off in terms of time and cost efficiencies. Many of the new features within Messenger 2.0 are even free to use. Take their Mobile Web tool for example, they provide a platform so simple to navigate around that any business can build their own mobile website for free, and then fire it out as a link contained a text message. With this, they have exploded the ‘160 character’ content constraints usually associated with mobile messaging.
Alastair added “If you’re a restaurant, you can literally build a free web page containing your whole menu for free, and send it to your whole database of contacts in seconds for pennies. There really is nothing else on the market that removes the need for large marketing budgets and draws response rates as high as 97.5%.”
Textlocal believe that if every business in Britain started using Messenger 2.0 they would see growth, after all its already working for 86,000 businesses. Whether that be growth in customer base, ROI or profits, mobile messaging provides the perfect solution to bringing your brand to palms of your customers hands. Of course direct mail and email still exist, but when you think of the continual rise of the cost of the British stamp, and the artwork costs associated with these channels, what a better alternative mobile messaging is to communicate directly without a high price tag.
Some of the other features and benefits of Messenger 2.0 include a QR Code generator which aids opt-in database growth, a location based postcode tool which allows businesses to automatically fire out ‘find your nearest store’ information, and a URL shortener which gives the user the power to automatically reduce the length of any URL and obtain a full report on all click throughs.
