Text Messaging

STRENGTHEN CONNECTIONS WITH TEXT MESSAGING

In today’s fast-paced world of auto repair, text messaging has become a powerful tool to connect with customers, streamline appointment scheduling, and provide timely service updates.

SocialCRM takes the power of text messaging to the next level with all-new modern templates and an easy-to-use platform that integrates seamlessly with Manager™ SE shop management software.

With SocialCRM, shops can effortlessly send appointment reminders, promotional messages and status updates, helping build stronger relationships and ensuring customers stay informed.

Pre- and Post-Visit Text Notification Services

Automated Texting

In addition to text marketing campaigns, SocialCRM will help you send automated reminders and thank-you texts to help keep your customers engaged through ongoing, personalized messages from your shop.

  • The Pre-Visit appointment text message reminds customers of their upcoming appointments, pulled directly from your Manager SE shop management system.
  • The Post-Visit thank-you text shows customer some gratitude after their recent visit. It also includes an invitation link to share their great experience with others by writing a review about your shop.

Real-Time Notifications

The Text Messaging feature not only streamlines your customer communication efforts, but it’s quick and easy to set up. Simply add your customer’s cell phone number to Manager SE to start communicating directly with your customers. Every time a customer responds to a text message, you'll receive an email or text notification. You can respond back via your phone or SocialCRM dashboard to keep the communication flowing in a timely manner.

Opt-in Prior Consent

Text marketing requires documented prior consent by the recipient. The SocialCRM texting service will contact your customers by email. When they click the link in the email and agree to the promotional texting terms, they become a part of your texting subscriber list.
