Questions hardware stores and garden centers ask

Do customers need to download an app?

No. Messages arrive by text and/or email. Customers can also log in to your page at thanku.deals with a one-time code to see their rewards and offers. There’s no app and no password.

Can we message contractors separately?

Yes. Put contractors in their own group and send them pricing and hours that don’t go to everyone.

Does it work with our register?

You don’t have to change anything. Staff record visits and purchases from any phone, tablet or computer.

What does texting cost?

Growth and Pro include 1,000 texts a month for each location (500 during the free trial); more are 2¢ each. Starter doesn’t include texting. A text longer than 160 characters counts as 2 or more, the way phone carriers bill it. Email is included in every plan.

Try it free for 60 days

Pick any plan; you won’t be charged until day 61. We’ll help you set up your rewards and your first seasonal message.
