We’re suffering from a pandemic that is threatening our lives. Even when we’re protecting ourselves in our homes from the COVID-19 virus, our livelihoods and families are at risk. We place great emphasis on online communication by doing what is required to stay secure but online contact is much more complicated than ever. It’s public, it’s ubiquitous, it lacks filters (unless it’s an Instagram photo!) and we can’t afford to misinform and confuse ourselves in a hectic time. If we can’t be shoulder-to-shoulder with each other anymore, we still have our phones as our remaining direct line of contact. There are ways we can remain united, remain together, and remain connected between business and consumers with the business texting services that Txtra provides. It may not sound like much, but any business, especially restaurants, can do so much with text messages in order to stay connected with customers. At their heart, restaurants are social experiences in which people come together, converse, relate, and dine together. Unfortunately, that’s all on hold for the time being. So with changing times comes changing behaviors. We need to adapt to keep local restaurants and companies going in these tough times, and mass sms & text messages will help.
