SlickText has done most of the work for you. We are working with an event venue in Oregon and a wings restaurant in San Francisco, as well as a diner in Montana to grow their customer lists and attendance and to retarget their visitors for pennies vs. dollars for digital ads.

The best thing about SlickText is being able to be in direct contact with our fans in seconds. With social media, a lot of our messages weren't heard. For the first time, we feel as though our fans can hear us.
