Collect and organize email subscriptions and/or customer information all via text.

No clipboard, no papers, no lines, no pens, no effort.

How It Works

1

Pick a code word! (Customers will text this word so make it simple)

2

Pick up to 3 questions you want to ask customers from the drop down menu. You currently can only ask for name, email, zip code, city, state, country and phone number.

3

Customize a thank you message customers receive after entering their info. Use full links if you want them to be able to click and be taken to a certain site. (i.e. twitter.com/lizrdmail as opposed to just @lizrdmail. You cannot use shorten sites like bit.ly; they won’t work due to anti-spam laws.) Message must be under 140 characters. This message can be changed at any time.

4

On your account dashboard new sign ups will pre-populate in real time. (You might need to refresh your browser.) You also have the ability to download the last 24 hours of sign ups and all your sign ups via buttons on your dashboard.

5

The following day you will also receive an email with the number of sign ups you received and an attached .csv file with all the sign up info. (If you don’t see it in your inbox the next day please check your spam for this email: noreply@lizrdmail-prod.appspotmail.com and then add us to your contacts.)

FAQ

Who is this service for? Who is using this?

This service is used to collect fan or customer information via text messaging. It’s for anyone that wants to easily and accurately collect information. All the info each  person texts to your code word goes into a .csv file you can download.

Some of the ways Lizrd customers are using our service:

Artists are using it to build their mailing list so they can reach their fans in the future about gigs and big appearances.

Businesses are using it to collect customer information.

Companies are using it at conventions or conferences either as an easy system to check people in or gather information from new customers.

It can also be used at Open Houses to collect potential buyers information, a way to gather party/wedding gift inventory or a digital guest book.

We’d love to know how you are using it!

How do I change my billing information and/or cancel?

You can cancel anytime as well as change credit cards, adjust your account balance etc.

Go to account settings and scroll down to update credit card and press “edit”

To cancel scroll down to the bottom and click the red button that says “cancel account.” Once you cancel you will receive and email with a .csv with all your past sign ups.

Cancel anytime with one click. Cancelling is easy and fast and painless.

When am I charged? How does billing work?

Once you sign up you will be charged whatever account balance you chose. ($10, $20, $30 so forth) We will immediately deduct the monthly fee + processing charge of $2.50 from that balance and then every time someone texts your codeword to our number we deduct .12. When your account balance gets low we recharge your credit card of your original chosen balance again.

Can I change my code word and thank you message?

YES! You can change both whenever you like.

When changing your thank you message use full URLs so people can click on them. shorten urls like bit.ly will not work.

Why can my thank you message only be 140 characters?

Most cell plans split up text messages after 140 characters counting them and sometimes sending them as separate messages costing additional money to send. To keep costs down we limit your thank you message to one text.

What questions am I able to ask?

Currently you can ask up to three questions and only choose from our list in our drop down menu. So you can ask: name, email, zip code, city, state, country and phone number

How quickly do I see sign ups?

You can immediately see them in your dashboard just refresh the browser. And can download them at any time using the download buttons in the upper right hand corner.

What’s the best way to alert customers or fans of your code word?

We suggest making business cards with your code word and phone number (or posters) and letting people know before and after the event how to use the service.

For example: Text “Insert your code word” to 206-207-5422 and follow the prompts until you receive a thank you message. I will then email you next time I’m performing in your town.

Using cards, explaining how text their info and what that information will be used for is the best way to encourage people to sign up.

What’s is a good card layout?

Here’s our founders card example:

She includes her social media and website as well in case people don’t wanna sign up for her mailing list but want to follow her on social media or check out her website instead.

What does the user see on their phone?

Example below:

What do I do with the information collected?

That is 100% up to you. For artists collecting emails and zip codes we suggest you email people when you are next performing in their area. Companies might use it for data, to follow up with customers, etc. As long you use the information the way you promise your customers its really up to you.

Why am I being charged for a full sign up if people don’t complete all the sign up questions?

Each time the service is used (they text your code word) you get charged for a full sign up (even if you only get partial info) All partial info will show up in your .csv file and export link. To avoid only getting partial information please make it clear to your fans/customers how many questions you have and to keep responding until they receive your thank you message.

Why don’t you use short codes?

We are a small tech start up that wants to make growing a fan base, collecting customer information and signing into events simple and affordable. Shared short codes start at $1000 for 3 months. Full numbers are significantly less. We thought you wouldn’t mind a few extra digits to save us all a lot money (and truthfully we haven’t noticed any drop off in sign ups due to extra digit entering)

Can we purchase international numbers?

There is a lot of red tape over which numbers can and cannot be bought if you don’t have a business in that country. We currently only have numbers in the US and Canada.
