Client Overview

Our client, a leading fast-casual restaurant chain operating across the U.S., struggled to maintain consistent customer engagement in a competitive market. While their fresh menu attracted diners, only a small fraction returned regularly, impacting revenue stability. Traditional communication channels like email and social media ads lacked the immediacy needed to keep customers connected, with low response rates leaving diners feeling disengaged. The chain needed a direct, real-time way to build stronger relationships and encourage loyalty, all within their existing Salesforce CRM system.

Challenges

  • Low Repeat Customer Rates: Only 25% of customers returned within 30 days due to ineffective follow-up strategies, limiting revenue growth.
  • High Reservation No-Shows: Manual confirmations led to a 40% no-show rate, disrupting operations and reducing table availability.
  • Ineffective Promotions: Generic email campaigns had a mere 15% open rate, failing to resonate with diverse customer preferences.

Our Solution

SMS Ninja partnered with the restaurant chain to integrate WhatsApp messaging into their Salesforce CRM, creating a seamless, conversational experience to drive engagement. By leveraging WhatsApp’s immediacy and Salesforce’s robust data capabilities, we designed automated, personalized campaigns to turn casual diners into loyal patrons.

  • WhatsApp Loyalty Campaigns: Deployed automated sequences in Salesforce to reward frequent diners with loyalty points, sent via WhatsApp with clickable links for easy redemption, encouraging repeat visits.
  • Automated Reservation Management: Configured WhatsApp bots within Salesforce to send instant booking confirmations, reminders, and rescheduling options, streamlining the process for customers and staff.
  • Personalized Promotional Alerts: Used Salesforce data to craft tailored WhatsApp messages, such as exclusive dessert offers for sweet-tooth customers, delivered in real-time to drive immediate action.
