Case Study 2 - Making more Sales

This case study demonstrates how a successful small business used SMS Marketing to improve his sales of imported motorcycle accessories. What he ended paying was a lot less than he expected, in more ways than one.

 

 "The Product Importer"

Andrew imports and distributes accessories for motorcycles. He stocks a wide range of products, but is constantly asked for products for various models of bikes that he doesn't stock. As part of his enquiry management, he tracks and records all enquiries in a database, including asking information about what potential customers might be looking for in the future.

Andrew attempts to source for that enquiry, which also helps his efforts to expand his product range. However, once he is able to supply for his potential sale, he wants to let his other possible customers know that he has a product that might suit them.

Case Study 1 - Keeping your Customers Informed

In this scenario, our client was looking for ways to streamline his delivery processes, and keep his customers better informed about product deliveries. However, what he hadn't counted on was that he could also take advantage of what turned out to be some serious benefits.

Improving your business profitably, reducing costs and increasing customer satisfaction may not seem like the domain for using SMS marketing, so we'll paint a picture of how those things could happen with your small business.

"The Furniture Store"

"Mark" runs a chain of 12 furniture stores. He receives products daily at each of his stores, which are then co-ordinated & scheduled by his salespeople for delivery  to his customers, during the next week, or are collected by the customers. Most of his deliveries and pickups are payable on delivery or "COD". His warehouses are overly full with customer pickups and pending deliveries.

He is looking to increase his customer satisfaction levels, improve cash flow, increase the efficiency of his delivery drivers,  reduce the amount of cash they handle, keep his sales people on the selling floor instead of handling phone calls, deliveries and pickups, and increase his 'available for sale' warehouse stock .

Online CRM to use for Email and SMS Marketing

Many small businesses have not taken the plunge in using a Customer Relationship Management system (CRM) for email marketing or customer tracking, due to perhaps cost, or exposure, or even perceived need.

CRMs can be a powerful method of improving and developing your customer base. Our new online CRM can be used both for email & SMS marketing. We expect to release this product for use in late August.

We are also developing plugins to existing software platforms, so that you can use your existing email marketing platform as a method of using SMS to increase your sales..

However, if you have a specific need, or would like to request a custom solution, please contact us
