TL Connects Software

Able to move product better and market

Pros

Able to move product with offers. The offers are easy to put together and easy to send out. Great marketing tool.

Cons

A little expensive, hard to be consistent with sending out text. Not many cons with the software, very user friendly and straight forward.

Pros

An economical way to reach out to the customer and simlpe enough that it is not intimidating to less computer savvy customers. This software seems to be very flexible and can be designed to meet the needs of different establishments.

Cons

I can not think of anything that I am unhappy or dissatisfied about. I have not come across anything that I would say I wish this software could do .....

Ability to reach out to my customers easily.

Pros

Ability to reach out to my customers is great. Customers love being able to login in and get free product.

Cons

The cost is far too expensive for what we are getting in return. The stability of the iPads is horrible. We have gone through several!

Does a great job of reminding folks we are here

Pros

Ease of use. The back office is easy to navigate. Other than sending your own texts everything is pretty much automated so it needs very little interaction.

Cons

I get busy and forget to use it to it's full potential! Would love a reminder before the end of the month to usey included texts.

Pros

The product is easy to use and customers love the product. I takes having to manage a loyalty program.

Cons

Only problem with the software is wish the reporting would let the administrator do more task in terms of monitoring.

Pros

The loyalty program and text alert system. Loyalty program brings back customers and make this a great addition.

Cons

Glitches that occur sometimes and not being able to connect to the POS. if we could see the checking and rewards on the POS Square system that would help very much.

a great communication between us and our customers

Pros

It's great to be able to reach out to our database of customers whenever we'd like. We also especially like the option of reaching outside in order to get new customers as well.

Cons

Occasionally we could use more characters when creating messages. We like to put out text blasts with specials and once in a while we run out of space.

repeat customers. New customers. and loyal customers.

Pros

you don't have to keep track of anything, it does it for you. I like that it also don't text you all the time.

Cons

sometimes the connection goes down. but other than that it is a good product. I have suggested it to other companies too.

Pros

Ability to bring the guest back. Easy to use. I like the reporting aspect and ability to track the usage of guests who redeem their coupons.

Pros

Ease of use; great communications tool to create meaningful dialogue between merchant and customer. Merchants who use all the features will be amazed at what this platform can do for them.
The ability to recapture lapsed customers is reason enough to buy in.

Cons

Wish there were more of these around town. What merchants don't realize is how much demand there is from customers for an easy to use, non-invasive texting tool. Also, merchants misunderstand the concept of loyalty, thinking they need to GIVE AWAY product when actually they are GETTING more sales due to the enhanced relationship.

Pros

It's a good problem to have, but in six months we have over 4,000 subscribers. The ability to select what subscribers we would like to send messages to helps us use as many credits as we can each month while sending out more than one promotion.

Cons

While we like the filters the best about the software, there could still be more enhanced options, like the ability to customize these more. We would also like to be able to roll over all credits, not just additional ones purchased.

an easy way to reach out to our customers that don't check their email very often.

Pros

very easy to use and learn. easy installation. Could include a picture in the message that goes out to customers.

Cons

limited amount of characters. we had an issue the first message that we sent out about it not sending out to all of our members. sometimes our ipad will have a long delay when people submit their number to check in.

We can track our guest activity daily if we wish too. We can see activity from checkins to redemptions and offers.
Everything is easy to use and seamless.

Pros

Easy communication with guest and the company. Customers have simple steps to sign up for great offers and communication with us. TL Connects makes it simple to contact them and fast response to answers if we need them!

Software drives footsteps into our store which we in turn convert to dollars in the register. This product is very easy to use and I recommend it to everyone who will listen.

Pros

Software is very easy to use and setting up promotions is intuitive. Support is always ready to jump in and assist whenever needed. I recommend this program to all of my fellow franchisees and I am trying to get our ad fund to pick it up for our entire market.
