Key Elements
Feedback Forms
These are provided to customers in a variety of eye-catching designs and formats throughout the venue. Examples include point-of-sale cards, posters and table tents. They contain simple step-by-step instructions on how to assemble and submit a response, as well as details on prizes or coupons offered. TxtandTell supports a fully automated, flexible prize and coupon engine. Keywords, URL links and QR codes can also be incorporated to direct customers to WAP surveys set-up to capture more detailed information.
Question Format
The system is completely flexible, allowing you to define the number of questions, the number of response options and the response messages. Free format text, single question “hotspots” or a multiple question matrix can be used. Personalized responses can be sent to all respondents based on the feedback they sent in. WAP surveys are fully configurable.
Mobile Promotions and Coupons
The TxtandTell mobile marketing platform allows for text messages including mobile coupons, to be integrated into your marketing communication plans. You can send out regular text messages to your opt-in database with special offers and promotions - encouraging guests to visit again and invite their friends. You can also attract new business by including a mobile call-to-action in all your marketing and advertising campaigns e.g. text-to-join, text-to-win, text-for-a-coupon.
Moderation and Digital Signage
A moderation facility exists for designated staff to respond personally to all feedback they receive via an individual text message. They can then post both the customers comments and their own responses to the overhead digital screens in the dining areas. Moderators can also load visual images and videos to be displayed on the screens and other venue related notifications - e.g. menu changes, specials or promotions etc.
CRM and Loyalty Programs
TxtandTell captures your customer's cell phone number and allows them to opt-in to your outbound marketing campaigns. The CRM and loyalty programs build a database that allows you to better understand your customers and in doing so, target communication to them that is relevant and can positively influence their behaviour.
Workflow
The system uses a sophisticated workflow engine that allows workflow rules to be configured based on customer feedback messages. Together with the issue tracking facility, these rules generate text and email messages that can be sent to relevant people within the organization.
Reporting and Management

All customer feedback and marketing communication is stored on the TxtandTell server. Through a secure website, a comprehensive range of reporting is provided to enable ongoing analysis of all levels of customer interaction. A Customer Satisfaction Index can be created for customer feedback and CSI scores measured and tracked over time. In the case of multi-location organizations, web reporting can be configured according to user access levels.
