Prime your taste buds! Spotlight on MMS for the Fast Food Sector

We have explored some interesting industry sectors who are adopting MMS in our earlier blog articles, including automotive, fashion and beauty brands, property and more.

Another industry which is perfectly suited for MMS messaging and for instance, the delivery of coupons, is the fast food industry.

It is a wonder why more fast food restaurants are not adopting this medium more widely – as it allows you to directly target consumers on the go, around meal times or slower days; to keep a steady stream of customers through the door.

Fast Food outlets are already producing enticing advertisements for meal deals, freebies and discount offers.  You typically don’t need to look far when you walk inside your nearest fast food outlet as the ads displayed on walls, digitally on signboards and pretty much everywhere else!  Not to mention the mass channel marketing they do across other mediums like print and social outside of the stores.

One such Mexican Fast Food Restaurant in the U.S. Taco John’s run a “TJ Awards” club whereby you can text into a short code to join the program.  Subscribers receive a MMS welcome message along with their first MMS coupon.  Each coupon has a unique promo code and finite expiry date.  Once subscribed, customers receive up to 4 messages per month.  It is a great use case for the fast food sector and a great means of attaining repeat business.
