Table tents and counter displays
Place small table tents at restaurant tables, checkout counters or service desks. Explain the value of joining and show a clear keyword, short code, QR code or link to an opt-in form with the required disclosures.
Digital signs and in-store screens
Use displays in waiting areas, retail locations, restaurants or event spaces to promote your SMS program. Keep the call to action short enough to read at a glance and direct people to a consent-based signup flow.
Checkout flyers and bag inserts
Put signup flyers near the register or include small inserts with purchases. Promote a meaningful benefit, such as loyalty updates or member offers, while making it clear that joining is optional.
Restroom and high-traffic signage
Post tasteful signage in suitable high-traffic areas such as venue restrooms, lobbies or exits. The goal is awareness and voluntary signup, not collecting numbers without permission.
Social media promotion
Share your SMS program on Instagram, Facebook and other channels your customers use. Link to a dedicated signup page or promote a compliant text-to-join keyword. Explain what subscribers will receive and how often.
Invite email subscribers to opt in separately
Mention your SMS program in newsletters or email campaigns and direct interested readers to a dedicated SMS consent form. Email permission alone does not establish SMS marketing consent.
Website forms and dedicated landing pages
Create a dedicated page describing your SMS benefits and signup terms. Add an opt-in form or a link to the form on relevant pages. Use an unchecked, clearly labeled consent option where appropriate and retain consent records.
TV, radio and local advertising
Include a simple signup instruction in existing advertisements. Avoid rushing the disclosure: direct viewers or listeners to a page where the program terms and consent can be reviewed.
One-to-one conversations
Train staff to explain the SMS program at checkout, appointments or events. Invite customers to sign up themselves through an approved process rather than adding their numbers without documented consent.
Track which signup channels work
Use distinct keywords, QR destinations or campaign tags where supported. Monitor verified opt-ins and subscriber engagement so you can invest in channels that attract interested customers.
