Bring them back.
Again and again.

Every guest who orders or books becomes someone you can reach. We write, build and send your email and text campaigns, and set up the automations that bring guests back.

DoorDash, Uber Eats, OpenTable and Google Reservations each keep the guests they send you

You don’t own your guest list.

  • Third parties keep your guestsDelivery apps and booking sites hold the names, emails and phone numbers. You don’t.
  • A first visit can be the lastWithout a reason to come back, a happy guest simply forgets about you.
  • The specials email never goes outYou mean to send it. Then Friday gets busy, and another week goes by.

“...The launch really has been great. Many new customers and the availability to drive that traffic back to us should be great as well.. Also, really love the live tracking of how the program is working.”

Questions owners ask.

Won’t texts annoy my guests?

Not when they’re worth reading. We keep texts short, well timed and tied to something guests actually want, like a special or an event.

Where do the emails and phone numbers come from?

Your own guests: online orders, reservations, event and catering inquiries, and sign-up offers on your site, all collected in DerbyFlow.

Do I have to write anything?

No. We write, design and send every campaign. Just tell us what’s coming up.

Is texting my guests allowed?

Yes, when they’ve opted in. We only text guests who signed up, and every message includes a way to stop.

Which package includes email and text marketing?

Every package sends email and text campaigns for you. Visibility and Growth Partner add guest segmentation, list growth and automated journeys like birthdays and follow-up. Growth Partner adds win-back campaigns.
