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?

Text messages are billed by how many you send, separately from your plan. Email is included in every plan.
