Why would restaurants offer free online texting from www.looknothumbs.com to their customers?
It is a simple case of using online texting to build and maintain customer contact by keeping a real time direct marketing channel permanently open. How does it work? Easy, here’s how.
1. The restaurant buys some bulk text messages from www.looknothumbs.com.
2. With the right package, the restaurant also gets to advertise for free on the www.looknothumbs home page. It works out a lot cheaper than an advert in the local newspaper and the potential visibility is wider.
3. The restaurant sets up some Alerts within the looknothumbs web-site promoting their best deals for customers. For example, “Free Bottle of Wine per Table of Two”, or, “Kids Eat Free” which could be sent out during quiet periods.
4. The restaurant has to then promote the LookNoThumbs Alert to their diners. This could be easily done by adding a tagline to their till receipts. People will read these and with some gentle prompting will sign up to receive LookNoThumbs Alerts from the restaurant.
5. When the customers sign up for a subscription, they get five (or maybe ten) LookNoThumbs online texting messages from the restaurant to use as they see fit. Effectively, a “free gift” paid for by the restaurant.
6.The restaurant in building a LookNoThumbs.com subscription list opens up unbounded business benefits and opportunities in terms of future direct marketing promotions using SMS and online texting.
7. Reread this message. The opportunity offered by this online texting service will help grow your restaurant business faster than a “Kitchen Nightmare” makeover by Gordon Ramsay. Make sure you understand it ( yes ) and don’t miss out as competitors get in there first.
I told you it was easy. Try it now, it’s cheaper than an ad in the local paper.

UK Estate Agents are mobilising with a new online text messaging service from LookNoThumbs.com.
Attracting new customers has never been easier or cheaper using an online text messaging service that allows potential buyers to subscribe to SMS text message updates when new properties become available.
With LookNoThumbs.com the online text messaging service can be subscribed to by home hunters who are super keen to hear from the estate agent whenever the type of property they are seeking in a particular area becomes available. LookNoThumbs.com provides its estate agent customers with the ability to publish Alerts to customer who have opted into receive them. The Alerts can be as generic or as specific as required. The more specific the Alerts the better the segmentation can be of the subscription list.
For example, an Agent who has 250 subscribers to the following Alert would have a good idea of the number of people interested in homes in his area.
“HomeMover Agency - New Properties For Sale. Call 0555-555-1234 for more information”
Nothing wrong with that and good information to have. However, the Agent who has 250 subscribers split up over a range of alerts broken down by Home Type, No of Bedrooms and Price would have a better idea of the current market interest in his area.

- No more need to walk for miles and miles delivering flyers to doorsteps.
- No more worries that money spent on advertising is not reaching the right audience.
- Confidence that new properties being taken on will have immediate interest from a willing audience.
Text messaging portal LookNoThumbs.com is helping small business website owners to connect instantly with site visitors and transition casual site visits into sales opportunities.
Here’s a typical scenario from a day in the life of a website; perhaps a site not unlike yours.
You drive visitors to your site by publishing your URL at every opportunity and using every means at the disposal of your marketing budget: stationery, signage, press, broadcast media, online advertising, blogging, and word-of-mouth. As visitors click around your site evaluating you and your business, the tyre-kickers lose interest and leave. Others are interested enough to complete your inquiry form, which at some point delivers contact information to you for later collection. Unfortunately, within minutes after completing the form, most visitors will have forgotten who you are and why they were interested. They’ll have moved on - possibly even to a competitor’s website, and you’ve lost your best chance to win a customer whose interest is still fresh.
Here’s the same scenario with integrated site alerts from online texting portal LookNoThumbs.com.
Your visitors arrive at your site as before. Tyre-kickers leave, as they always do. But now when a visitor completes your inquiry form, their experience with your business is only beginning. Within seconds of them submitting the form, you get a text message on your mobile phone containing the contact details they left – usually while the visitor is still looking at your site. You now have your optimal chance of winning that customer: you have their number right on your phone, and you know they’re on your site. Go ahead - PRESS YOUR GREEN BUTTON NOW!
Make no mistake, LookNoThumbs’ website alerts are the online equivalent of your door chime ringing to alert sales staff when a customer enters your shop.
Site integration with LookNoThumbs.com is a simple process. First, you need a LookNoThumbs.com account, which is free and quick to set up at http://www.LookNoThumbs.com. Don’t buy any texts until you’re ready – your free trial will let you try this out just fine. Next, display a special link prominently on your site. The exact link is in the FAQ accessible from your LookNoThumbs.com online texting account. When your visitor clicks the link, a popup form opens, and when they submit the form, you get your text message. It couldn’t be easier, and it’s free to try.

Remember, in business it’s always best to strike while the iron is hot. Don’t impress your customers with a great website, then lose them to a competitor over something as trivial as not knowing they were ever there.
