So grab a notebook and let's get started!   Mark is a successful entrepreneur who has earned six figures by taking advantage of a creative, yet effective way to increase profits for his small business - capturing birthdays and setting up an SMS messaging service. This episode provides a step-by-step guide on how to provide this service to business owners and replicate Mark's success. It also provides advice to business owners who are looking for ways to increase their profits. Mark's story shows that entrepreneurs can be successful despite feeling overwhelmed by technology.   Mark is an entrepreneur who works with businesses to implement an SMS messaging service that captures customers' phone numbers and birthdays. The businesses then send out a free birthday gift redeemable on the person's birthday. This strategy helps the businesses build an SMS list quickly, as well as increase their profits, as two birthdays a week can bring in an extra 200, and ten can bring in an extra thousand. To make it even more effective, Mark suggests creating a real tangible product to be shipped out to the birthday customers, which commands a higher price and results in more positive reviews. To get started, businesses must implement the SMS messaging service and then begin capturing customers' birthdays.   Tracy Brinkmann explores the concept of using an SMS service to help businesses build their customer list and increase customer loyalty. It is a powerful tool for increasing revenue and foot traffic, as well as saving on marketing costs. The steps for entrepreneurs looking to provide this service to businesses are outlined: research SMS services, create a website to showcase the services, and use Groove Funnels to collect emails.   Tracy talks about creating an SMS marketing service for businesses in the food and entertainment industry. The speaker suggests taking advantage of the free level of service for 30 or 60 days to get the service up and running. Potential clients should be identified, and customized SMS marketing campaigns should be created for each one. These campaigns should include personalized birthday greetings and incentives to encourage customers to visit the business. Staff should be trained on how to capture customer data and create an SMS calendar to include special promotions and offers for different times of the year. Tracy suggests leveraging special days of the month to build up to a big movie release or other promotional events.    Timestamps 0:00:00 "Unlock the Secrets to Building an SMS List and Increasing Profits for Your Small Business" 0:01:17 "Unlock Six-Figure Profits with Birthday Capturing: An Interview with Mark, a Savvy Entrepreneur" 0:03:46 "The Benefits of Using a Birthday SMS Service for Businesses" 0:08:18 "Creating an Effective SMS Marketing Strategy for the Food and Entertainment Industry" 0:09:47 Heading: Leveraging SMS Marketing to Increase Customer Loyalty and Profits
