SMS Marketing That Starts With the Transaction

Turn Customer Engagement Into a Growing SMS Marketing Database

POS Marketing helps merchants turn everyday Clover customer interactions into permission-based relationships they can continue after the transaction.

Capture mobile numbers and customer consent through the engagement flow, automatically grow the merchant’s marketing database, and use SMS to bring customers back with relevant promotions, digital coupons and automated customer journeys.

Capture. Consent. Engage. Return.

SMS Marketing That Turns Engagement Into Repeat Business

Capture Consent. Build Your Audience. Keep Customers Coming Back.

Turn everyday customer interactions into permission-based marketing relationships. 

Send the Right Message at the Right Time

SMS Marketing isn't just about sending receipts.

In today's modern world, people are either asleep or connected

POS Marketing helps merchants communicate based on where customers are in their relationship with the business.

Your Clover system does more than process payments. With the right marketing tools, every transaction becomes an opportunity to build an SMS marketing database.
