Game changer! We are a mobile coffee trailer (like a food truck), so using SlickText has been a huge part of our marketing. We use it to tell our subscribers where we will be for the week and share exclusive deals.

SlickText is the best text message marketing for restaurants. They were quick to help us change over from Podium, getting us a local number and helping us whenever we needed them, while also being affordable for our small business.

This is the best SMS service I have found. SlickText enables me to update customers about the progress of their orders. Email marketing has declined recently, and SlickText has made it easy to stay in contact with my customers.

My experience with Zach at SlickText, by far, was the BEST experience I have ever had with any front facing customer support person...period!

SlickText helps us connect with our existing guests as well as our community on a more personal level. We've been able to reach, retarget, and bring back guests with ease. With the analytics, we get clarity on what's working and what we need to optimize.

SlickText has been great for our brewery. We seem to get better engagement through text than with email. SlickText is extremely easy to use. Setting up campaigns is straightforward and intuitive. I also like how easy it is to segment contacts for different types of campaigns.

SlickText has done most of the work for you. We are working with an event venue in Oregon, a wings restaurant in San Francisco, and a diner in Montana to grow their customer lists and attendance and to retarget their visitors for pennies vs. dollars for digital ads.
