Dubuque, Iowa, February 6, 2020: TapOnIt launches in Dubuque with a texting platform connecting the Dubuque community with great deals for local businesses. TapOnIt specializes in working with locally owned businesses to reach consumers who have opted in to receive local offers via text. TapOnIt makes it easy for consumers to share great offers with their friends via Facebook, text, and Twitter, and redeem them at the business location.
Under the TapOnIt advertising model, members join to receive image-based text messages featuring local offers. (Text TapOnIt to 82928 to see how it works). There is no charge for members (beyond any applicable carrier message and data rates) and businesses pay advertising charges for the number of members reached. Text messaging has become an effective form of communication: a report commissioned by Singlepoint found that 99% of text messages get opened and read – including 90% which are opened within three minutes of receipt.
TapOnIt was launched in April 2015 by digital advertising veteran Katie Wilson, and consumer behavior professional Sara Castillo, in the Quad Cities. In under five years, the company has expanded its reach into 41 markets across 19 states. The TapOnIt community has over 240,000 registered members.
“Because our platform is text-based with no apps to download or update, we experience less than a 2% monthly churn rate compared to 70% churn for apps in their first 90 days,” said Wilson. “And our members redeem the offers they receive at rates of up to 11%.” "We were really impressed with not only the quantity of traffic but also the quality,” said TapOnIt customer Shaun Page, Owner/Operator of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Davenport. “TapOnIt drives an impressive amount of traffic and branding for my business!"
“We are incredibly excited to launch in Dubuque,” continued Wilson. “We believe it will rapidly accelerate our expansion and allow us to bring special offers to consumers and drive traffic, revenue and awareness for businesses.”
