How fishmongers & butchers use Texto
Real ways businesses like yours send texts every day.
When you're selling fresh fish or meat, timing is everything. Your best customers want to know what came in this morning, not find out tomorrow when it's already gone. A text message lands on their phone in seconds. By the time you've finished putting the display out, people are already on their way in because they saw your text about the snapper.
Fresh stock alerts
New delivery just arrived at 5am? By the time you open the doors you can have a text out to all your regulars telling them what's in. 'Fresh king prawns in today, $28/kg. Barramundi fillets looking great too.' Your regulars plan their visit around your texts.
Weekly specials
Running a special on scotch fillet this weekend or whole barramundi at a price you can't beat? Text your customers on Thursday so they know to come in on Friday or Saturday. It's the cheapest advertising you'll ever do and it actually gets read.
Order ready notifications
Customer placed an order for their Christmas seafood platter or an Easter lamb leg? Text them when it's ready for pickup with your opening hours. They know exactly when to come in and you don't spend your busiest day answering the phone.
Holiday pre orders
Christmas ham orders opening up? Easter seafood pre orders? Send a text to last year's customers with a link or just ask them to reply with their order. You'll fill your order book in a day instead of waiting for people to remember to call you.
