How to use SMS at a Bar or Nightclub

Mobile Campaigns
1. Use mobile coupons to increase business. When residing on a mobile phone, mobile coupons are literally in the palm of a patron's hand, which means they are much more likely to be used.
2. Send out early bird mobile coupons to entice diners to come to the restaurant at off times. A $1 off coffee mobile coupon could also help a coffee shop drum up business during the slow late-afternoon hours.
3. Keep customers informed of daily specials or DJ nights with a simple SMS message. SMS is a great way for bars and nightclubs to keep in touch with their patrons.
4. Accept reservations with an SMS-CRM system. With an SMS-CRM system, a patron can text in a reservation time to the restaurant any time he wants to. The SMS-CRM system will easily populate a database of reservation times and then send out a confirmation to the patron, as well as a reminder text an hour before the reservation if requested.
Increase Customer Service
5. Receive instant customer feedback with SMS. A quick text to a customer who has patronized an establishment can be instantly returned and, should the patron have had a bad experience, the bar or nightclub will instantly know and it can quickly make amends by offering an apology and a mobile coupon for a return visit.
6. Create powerful and enticing marketing campaigns with SMS. McDonald's Italy ran a holiday mobile campaign asking people to send an SMS to Santa that received a stunning response rate of 25 percent. The company printed unique codes on cups, and patrons who sent the SMS texts received presents ranging from free airtime and prepaid credit cards to mobile content, such as personal calls from Santa. More than 1.5 million people responded to the campaign, an almost unheard of 25 percent response rate.
7. Build guest and subscriber lists of patrons with SMS. Nightclubs can turn to SMS text messaging to promote their weekly parties and special DJ nights. Guests can be asked to text a keyword to the club's SMS number to receive exclusive invitations to upcoming events.
8. Set up mobile fan clubs for bands or DJs playing at the bar or club. An SMS-CRM system can allow mobile users to opt in to a mobile club that can keep them informed of a band or DJ's next show or album release.
9. Allow patrons to order drinks through SMS. A bar or nightclub can cut down its employee count by allowing patrons to text in their drink or dinner orders. An SMS text sent directly to the bar's SMS-CRM system can instantly notify a bartender of an order. The waiter or waitress is then only needed to deliver the drink rather than to both take the order and deliver the drink.

How to Send an MP3 Via SMS

1. Open your Internet browser on your computer and log in to your email.
2. Compose a new message and attach an MP3 file to it. In order to attach a file, you click on the paperclip (this is the attach icon), and double-click on the files you want to attach. You can attach more than one file, but your attachments aren't unlimited. The number of files you can attach depends on the size of each file. Your email will only support so much attachment space.
3. Send the message to a cellphone. To send the email as an sms, you have to send the message to the cellphone's gateway address. Your service provider offers a gateway address for free. Consult your user's manual to find your gateway address. All phones require you to enter the phone number you're sending the message to, and then the gateway address. For example, to send to a Verizon phone, you would send your email to (10-digit phone number)@vtext.com. Sprint is (10-digit phone number)@messaging.sprintpcs.com and Alltel is (10-digit phone number)@message.alltel.com. The link in the 'References' section lists all the major gateway addresses.
4. Open the message on your cell phone and download the attachment. Your MP3 will now be saved to your cell phone.
