The advent of smartphones has literally changed our lives. Our lives, but also our modes of communication! Today, 50 billion text messages are sent every quarter in France and 72% of French people want to receive so-called “information” text messages. Let's take a look at the added value that SMS brings to your brand and how you can collect the support of your site visitors to start working on an SMS database. Then, let's see how when and how to use it.
SMS: pamper your customer.
The SMS is received almost instantaneously and 99% opened by the customer. The message is short and passes immediately. So we can use the power of synchronicity. For example, an SMS such as: “Come for lunch this afternoon! On the occasion of Halloween, we offer you a glass of red wine! “, sent between 12 and 1 p.m. can directly condition the place where the receiver will finally have lunch. Note that 29% of receivers go to a point of sale after receiving an SMS. Concretely, an SMS communication campaign allows you to:
Build customer loyalty
Send information and offers with particular efficiency for the dissemination of time-limited offers thus generating traffic
Receive orders
Confirm a reservation/order and save time.
How to work an SMS campaign?
First of all, THE crucial point of your campaign: the database. Of course, the importance of word of mouth should not be overlooked. But there are also very simple techniques to recover the number of your customers as well as their approval to receive messages from you. For example, the reduction coupon/gift to be completed allows you to retrieve the desired data (name, first name, telephone, etc.) and thanks to the reduction on it, you are guaranteed that the customer will return it to you. An inexpensive win-win solution! Then you will have to define a clear and concise message which means here a message of less than 160 characters. Then choose the appropriate time for sending the SMS. That is to say when they are available, better being in the morning between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m., at noon between 12 and 1 p.m. and at the end of the day between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Then finally, do not drown them in messages otherwise they will unsubscribe!
LGet started, Digital CHR is at your side to make your campaign a success!
One of the advantages of the Internet is the plethora of tools made available to manage one's activity. Among these tools, an essential FREE tool: Google Analytics. Let's take a closer look at its characteristics and what added value it brings to your brand.
Did you say Google Analytics??
Google Analytics is therefore a free service for analyzing the performance of your site. Therefore, it is available to anyone with a Google account. In addition, it provides statistics but also basic analytical tools aimed at optimizing the referencing of your site and its content. But not only since it also allows you to calculate the impact of your marketing operations. Specifically, this tool allows you to:
View your site traffic data on a dashboard, scorecards, charts over time periods you choose
Analyze the impact of your communication campaigns
Understand what people are looking for on your site, which pages attract them, which ones they lose interest in
Understand how the public arrives on your site (keywords, social networks, IP address, etc.)
Identify the weak link of the site in the purchasing process of your customers; know when they abandon their buying process
Know if you need to develop a mobile version of your site…
Why do you need Google Analytics?
From now on, having a website is essential to exist on the web, among other restaurants, caterers and hotels... But having a site is not everything. To start, you have to optimize your content and SEO. And for that, Google Analytics prevents you from advancing blindly. This tool will tell you what interest(s) visitors find on your site, what information captivates them the most or the least. If we take the example of a restaurant, this allows you to adjust your menu almost in real time, to highlight a menu in the dining room, a dish that is unanimously accepted on your site. For example, if you have read our article on the impact of social networks on your brand , and you have started, then Google Analytics still serves you. It will inform you, for example, of the ability of your social networks to refer to your site and vice versa! Even better, if you invest in a marketing operation, Google Analytics will tell you whether or not it was a convincing investment and why. This gives you so many keys to adjust your communication strategy at any time and stick as closely as possible to the expectations of your prospects and customers. Associate this information with the animation of your social networks , helps us to better study the behavior of your customers.

SEO is simply the English anagram of “Search Engine Optimization”. In French, it is translated by the expression “natural referencing”. But if we summarize it in 3 letters, it can make a difference in your online marketing strategy! Let's take an overview of this real content strategy. How it works and why it is important for you to integrate it into your communications!
SEO: What is it and how does it work?
To remain concrete, using SEO consists of adapting your web content. This in order to appear more often in the search results of Internet users. In 3 words, it serves to: INCREASE YOUR VISIBILITY! As far as the West is concerned, the giant Google concentrates between 75 and more than 90% of the searches carried out. As a result, it is Google that dictates the SEO laws there. Google analyzes sites based on:
Content : keywords, sentence length, number of words per sentence, percentage of transition words used, etc.
Design : metadata (these are all the data used to characterize and structure digital content), hierarchy, Hn tags, etc.
Why adopt the SEO reflex?
By working on your natural referencing, you make it easier for search engines to understand and index your content. However, the better your website performs for search engines, the more likely they will be to recommend it or offer it as a search result to users. This, by identifying the most relevant keywords related to your product or service offer. For example, DIGITAL CHR ranks No. 1 in Google when you type in “Website creation and restaurant videos in Nantes”. But also No. 1 on "digital restaurant training" throughout France. So if 34% of Internet users who have searched for a local business, visit it during the day, you quickly understand the relevance of such a tool for your development of traffic in your business!
