Baltimore-area Restaurant Chain Increases Return Business with Implementation of SMS Masterminds’ Mobile Marketing Program

Baltimore-based restaurant chain The Greene Turtle has seen increasing return business following its implementation of a cutting-edge text message marketing program for its Baltimore restaurants. Developed by the SMS Masterminds™ mobile/digital services division at SpendSmart Networks, Inc., a publicly traded company (OTCQB:SSPC), this unique system’s technology enhances the business-consumer relationship by enabling businesses to consistently reach and reward their customers, driving sales via text-message (SMS) coupons and promotions.

With the assistance of Jason Cohen of Mobilescoops.com, the local SMS Mastermind licensee covering the Baltimore area, The Greene Turtle implemented its text message marketing program in early 2013. With this new program, the restaurant chain was able to bring in 16,000 subscribers over a four-month period.

“We made enhancing our marketing efforts a point of emphasis,” said Chris Janush, Vice President of Marketing at The Greene Turtle. “We used table clings to draw attention to the program, and we made it very easy for our guests to join.” By utilizing advertising campaigns and offering incentives to join, The Greene Turtle had nearly 6,000 new subscribers in the month of May, kick-starting four consecutive months of subscriber growth and return business.

The Greene Turtle chose text message marketing to determine whether they could develop a dialogue with their guests via mobile device.

“We wanted to reach our guests through a more instant medium and were willing to provide competitive offers to make it more attractive,” said Mr. Janush. The Greene Turtle continues to explore different ideas and promotions for its text message marketing campaign, in line with the launch of its “Greene Turtle Rewards Program” in April.
