Parents want online testing in schools. We know it is official as we saw it reported on the BBC website!
The report says that 1in 12 of the parents polled by government education technology agency Becta were getting informed using texting. However, 68% of parents polled wanted schools to use online texting technologies to keep them up to date more frequently.
If your school doesn’t have online texting yet look no further than Looknothumbs.com, the home of on-line texting. We have the technology and scalability to support a school’s texting requirements:
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a bulk text message to all of the parents. Very useful if the school has to close suddenly for any reason and the kids are being sent home early.
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a text message to a sub-set of parents whose kids are in the same class, on a school trip or even not turned up for school.
- At LookNoThumbs.com we can send out a text message to a single child’s parents or guardians letting them know that their child is in trouble, injured, has won an award for the school … whatever and both good news as well as bad.
The main point is that our technology allows a school to manage its texts to parents using our online texting service very easily and efficiently and … of course … it can all be done without the need to fiddle about with a mobile phone text-pad.

Why restaurants offer free online texts from looknothumbs.com

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.

Estate Agents Go Mobile with Online Text Messaging Service
Mar0
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.
Online Text Messaging Alerts & Subscriptions Service:
- 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.
