Retailers are discovering mobile marketing has become THE FASTEST way to contact customers with timely information, specials, product announcements, e-coupons and more. After all, 77% of all cell phone users have text messaging plans they regularly use. 2cast provides you a very simple solution that your customers ‘opt-in’ to, ensuring there is never a feeling of being ‘spammed’. Your customers are requesting information THEY want to receive, and if they ever want to ‘opt-out’, all they need to do is text “STOP” to 74747.

Let’s assume you own a store and want to expand your sales and customer connections. Simply put up a sign in your store (or a posting on your web page) asking if customers would like to be invited to a special, exclusive sales event. To join, all your customers would need to do is ‘text’ your store “Text Brand”™ (your store name or other unique identifier you choose) and the word VIP to 74747 (try it if you like; simply text ‘2cast VIP’ to 74747). If you want to define your target group further (i.e. offering a 10% savings to a select group of your best customers, or notify them of a new product arrival), you can pick up to 3 keywords (your TextBrand, a Category & a Sub-Category). For an example of how this can increase sales, text “2cast VIP savings” to 74747.

2cast also offers an automated contest service called ‘Text 2 Win’ that collects customers cell phone numbers and automatically enters them into a contest for prizes from your store, restaurant or service.

How To Build Your Customer List:

You might be thinking ‘I don’t know my customer’s cell numbers, and I definitely don’t want to have to collect them and enter all their cell numbers into the computer!”. NO PROBLEM! Your customers ‘opt-in’ ONCE and 2cast’s system automatically files their profiles in the correct databases that YOU setup online through our password protected website. (If you do happen to have your customers’ cell numbers, we can also import them for you). And unlike some of our competitors that limit your text campaigns to a single keyword (what 2cast calls your TextBrand™), 2cast allows you to set up unlimited categories and sub-categories to differentiate your customers’ interests, or match where YOU want to direct them.

How To Build A System That Segments Customer Interest:

2cast’s solution allows you and your customers to connect on a more targeted level than other text messaging systems. How we do this is shown in the diagram below. With 2cast, your customers only get messages and information that they want!

2cast is an ideal way for groups of any size to communicate instantly with their members. The system is perfect for Civic and Social groups such as the Kiwanis, Knights of Columbus, Lions Clubs, Boy & Girl Scouting Troops, Youth Sport Leagues, and more. Messages can be sent instantly to alert members of a change of meeting location or time, remind members of meetings, alert members of a civil need in real-time, and hundreds of other uses.

Imagine you are the coach of a youth soccer team. You get a call 30 minutes before practice that the field is flooded, but you can use an alternate field for today’s practice … 15 minutes in the opposite direction! How do you contact all your team’s parents to tell them to drive to the new practice location and still have time to get in one more practice before the playoffs? You could use a ‘phone tree’ and hope that everyone gets called before they leave, or you could use 2cast to instantly send a single text message to every parent, even if they are already in transit, alerting them to drive to the substitute field. For a sample of how the system works, text ‘2CAST GROUP’ to 74747.

2cast provides you a simple and easy way to instantly communicate with your youth group, Sunday School class, or church group. Messages can be ‘blasted’ instantly to an entire group or sub-group or scheduled to be sent at a day and time you specify. This way, you can send mid-week messages of encouragement, meeting reminders or study links … and be assured your group gets them! Texting is a passive way of instantly communicating with your group, whereas email requires you to log into an account, select the email to read, and then actually read it. One recent study showed that due to the volume of emails we all receives, it takes TWO DAYS on average for an email to be sent, opened, read, and acted upon, versus FOUR MINUTES for a text message to be sent, read, and acted upon.

Imagine this scenario: You’re a youth pastor of a youth group called ‘Students For Christ’ and have 100 students you’ve connected with on campus, 75 kids in your youth group (with 2 study groups) & 25 kids registered for the ski trip … and about 15 minutes to contact them all. 2cast allows you to set up a system to automatically text info to your various groups from our server, or send a single text blast to all of them at once.

For a sample of how the system works, text ‘2CAST CHURCH’ to 74747.

Have you ever seen a house or property that you were interested in and you wanted some more information before you called the agent? So you look for one of the flyers the agent puts in those nice little plastic boxes … only to find they are all gone! In fact, even the National Association of Realtors admits the vast majority of the time the flyers are missing from those boxes. What if you had a system that both collected contact information of potential buyers AND delivered information on a property instantly? 2cast delivers just such a system!

Now you can instantly text interested buyers the square footage, number of bedrooms and baths, amenities, price, PLUS the name and contact information of the realtor in a simple text message that doesn’t get lost or misplaced! Plus, if a sale is pending on the property, you can suggest similar properties in the neighborhood. Bring your real estate office into the 21st century with a easy-to-use text messaging solution that buyers find intuitive and provides you, the realtor, a way to follow up with customers that a flyer can never deliver.

For a sample of how the system can increase your real estate sales, text ‘2CAST REALTY SANJOSE1234’ or ‘2CAST REALTY DENVER1234’ to 74747.

2cast provides school administrators a quick and simple way to instantly communicate with an entire student body, or segment communication to a single class or field of study. There is no need to collect and enter the student’s cell phone numbers as 2cast’s system automatically builds a student database based on a one-time ‘opt-in’ (a 2 minute process usually conducted at a school orientation assembly). Once this simple step is completed, you have the ability to send campus wide messages regarding school assemblies, class specific announcements, emergency shelter-in-place alerts, and even parental notices. Typical segmentation of the opt-in is usually structured as shown below.

As a safeguard against ‘false alerts’ or messages being sent on behalf of the school, students are advised to confirm that any messages originate from our short code of 74747 (identified in the header info of all outgoing texts originating with 2cast). Additionally, access to your student database is password protected. We can even send the contact cell number on record a confirming transmission message before any messages are sent.

2cast offers schools a variety of affordable packages. Call, email … OR TEXT 2cast today by texting the words ‘2CAST SIGNUP SCHOOL’ to 74747! Or click the ‘Sign Up’ link below and one of our representatives will call you back.

2cast provides you the perfect tool to offer real time traffic alerts and advisory messages. This is a perfect adjunct offering to TV and radio stations. Notices can even be a source of revenue for the station through advertising sponsorships (i.e. ’20 min delay on I-5 thru downtown due to a 4 car accident @ Main St. Show this alert to Rick’s Oil for a $10 savings on your next oil change. Exp 10/31/10’).

For a more personalized service, stations can offer their viewers or listeners the ability to text in specific roads or highways they want to receive alerts about. A typical traffic text campaign could be designed as follows:

There can be little argument that technology, specifically texting, played a significant role in our last election. Email is great, but lacks the immediate information and response you can generate with text messaging. And with 2cast’s automated profiling, constituents can register as volunteers, be sent meeting reminders, be sent polling and precinct instructions, or even weigh in on the topics that matter to them, all with a simple text response. We can even capture their name, email address and cell phone number in a single text response.
