This article will give you a number of ways that you can use to build your sms contacts database.

Printed form with incentive

Have a short printed form asking for the Name and Mobile number of your customer and have an incentive on it. E.g. subscribe to our mobile list and get x% off your next purchase.

Have a note within your shop

Next to certain items or at various places around your shop, have short announcements calling for a subscription to the mobile list in order to receive x% discount on your next purchase.

Combine online advertising with SMS Marketing

Publish an advert on facebook for example saying something along the lines: "Subscribe to our mobile list and receive 50% off your next purchase with us. Send your name and number to xxx"

Combine Email Marketing with SMS Marketing

Include an incentive to subscribe to your sms contacts list through your newsletters. 

Have a call to subscribe through labels

Labels can be throughout your store, on the tables in your restaurant and anywhere else your visitors or clients can see it and take action.
