Making Mocality’s free bulk SMS tool work for your business by Kenny

Bars, Clubs and Restaurants

Do you own a bar, club or a restaurant? Would you like to see more people come to your premises especially when you have gigs? Weekly parties? Big DJ nights? Happy hours?

Take advantage of our FREE bulk SMS service and make profits while at it!

Research shows that call to action SMS have a 13-16% success rate i.e. if you text 1000 people, there is a good chance that 130 will show up and of course your SMS will help customers to feel a personal attachment to the club/bar/restaurant.

How to go about it

Step 1: Search for your business on Mocality, if your business is already listed, simply sign in with your username and password to access your free bulk SMS tool. If you find your business on Mocality, but have not yet joined, you should click “Claim this business” at the bottom of the business profile page to get started right away (claiming your business on Mocality is free!). Finally, if your business is not listed on Mocality, sign up right now to add your business profile and take advantage of this innovative FREE communication tool.

Step 2: You need to have customers on your messaging list! Consider placing “Find us on Mocality.com” signs within your venue bathrooms and behind the bars as well as on your plasma screens encouraging your clients to follow your promotions. Your customers will receive your updates and invitations to the hottest events – this is one way of ensuring that you continue building your customer base.

Step 3: If you have clients’ numbers saved up somewhere, add them to the contact list on your Mocality profile. We can even help you populate your contact list on our directory. Email an Excel spreadsheet containing the phone numbers you would like to add to info@mocality.com,  and a Mocality team member will upload them for you personally!

In addition to your in-venue ads, why not add a link to your Mocality profile on your website and print “Find us on Mocality.com” on your fliers.

Need some promotional SMS ideas? Here are a few examples of messages to send to your clients:

Kenny’s pub says: “Tonight – DJ Sam on the decks! Ladies show this text at the door to receive complimentary admission for you and a guest. 10pm”

Kenny’s pub says: “DJ Vinyish exclusive live tonight 8 pm – ladies free & guys reduced with this text – Westlands next to Bandari Plaza.”

How about a last-minute text to increase traffic on a rainy friday night:
Kenny’s pub says: “You wanna party? Well, we are offering free shuttle service from Kencom at 10pm. Show this sms for free admission.”

In-venue offers:
Kenny’s pub says: “tequila shots now at kes 100, show this sms to the barman to get your discount!”
