What is Text Coupon Software?
Text coupon software is specially designed software that allows a business to easily send coupons to their SMS opt-in list. Textedly offers all-in-one software for all of a businesses’ SMS marketing needs, including text message coupons. This all-in-one software allows you to add links or photos, schedule messages in advance, and complete a myriad of additional activities related to the campaign, all of which minimize the amount of time and effort needed to conduct a successful marketing coupon promotion.
Text Message Coupon Types
QR Codes, ‘Show This at Checkout,’ and unique discount codes are the three most common types of textable coupons. Discount codes can offer a percentage off a purchase, a fixed dollar value, or shipping discounts. You determine the amount of the offer, its start and end dates and other important factors. QR codes are increasingly popular as the world becomes more tech-savvy. The codes require the user to scan a pre-designed code from their phone, which applies the discount at that time. The show at checkout offers is the easiest of the three. The customer simply saves the offer and presents it at checkout.
Static Barcodes
Most commonly known as QR codes, static barcodes can be used both in-store and online. The customer simply scans the code at the time of purchase and the discount is automatically applied to their purchase. Many customers prefer static barcodes over other types of textable coupons and discounts because they’re simple to use.
Static Promo Codes
Static promo codes simplify life for business owners. Simply create the offer, insert it into a message, and send it to one contact or to an entire group. It is the easiest way to send offers to customers who can then see the promo code by scanning the promo code during their in-store purchase, again using their smartphone device.
Unique Barcodes
The QR code is one of the most common barcodes used in SMS marketing, although several others are easily generated to provide a discount to customers. With unique barcodes, you eliminate duplicate use and can provide customer-specific deals.
Unique Promo Codes
Similar to unique barcodes, unique promo codes offer a specific deal to a specific customer or group of customers. This code is typically usable both online and in-store.
Show This Text
Show This Text is an offer the customer must simply show to the cashier at checkout. These coupons are usually redeemable only in-store, but exceptions may apply.

The easiest is to advertise your SMS marketing campaign online, social media, in your store, etc. A special freebie or special deal entices people to sign up.
