Your Tire Store Should Have Automatic Texting (SMS) Capabilities
Smartphones are everywhere, and these days it is not uncommon to see someone walking down the street, eyes glued to their phone, and scrolling away. With everyone on their phones, text messaging is one of the best ways to reach out to your customers and stay in touch. With an ASA-powered SMS messaging system with TireMaster, you can provide your customers with better service and make the tire purchasing process easier for them.
A Pew Research Center study found that 96% of Americans own a cell phone of some kind, with a slightly lower number of people owning smartphones. This staggering number illustrates just how much potential text messaging offers to tire businesses, both large and small. Especially considering that most text messages are opened and read within minutes of receiving them.
Despite the potential, many independent tire stores may not use this communication tool because setting up automatic SMS messaging capabilities can be time-consuming, time that you’d rather spend growing your business. Additionally, maintaining these capabilities with up-to-date customer information can be a nightmare you may not want to deal with.
