This service is used to collect fan or customer information via text messaging. It’s for anyone that wants to easily and accurate collect information. Every person that texting their info 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!

You can cancel anytime as well as change credit cards, adjust your account balance etc. Unfortunately we don’t have this set up to do on your own in your account. So to make any changes or cancel you need to email us at: lizrdbrain@gmail.com and we will do within a day. Feature to be added to your dashboard around Oct the latest. Thank you for your patience.

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.

YES! You can change both whenever you like. Right now it is not set up to do yourself on your account dashboard (hoping to add this feature by Oct the latest) so you would have to email: lizrdbrain@gmail.com and let us know what you would want changed. Warning: On the shared number account code words are first come first serve so once the word is taken you can’t get it unless you want to join Lizrd+ and buy your own number. Then you can pick any code word you like.

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. If you’d like your thank you message to be longer you can either wait for Lizrd+ to come out or inquire about your options now by emailing us at lizrdbrain@gmail.com

Currently with our Lizrd Basic version 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, birthday, wedding date, address, phone number.

If you have other basic questions you think should be available please feel free to suggest them. Otherwise custom questions are going to be available for purchase under our Lizrd+, which will come out soon. If you can’t wait and want to inquire about using Lizrd+ now please email us at: lizrdbrain@gmail.com

Because we don’t know what answers people signing up will give they might activate another person’s account if they answer to their question is someone else’s code word. (i.e. What is your favorite animal? They answer cat (but someone could have the code word “cat” and it could start prompt the other accounts questions instead of yours) So to avoid that people receive their own phone number.

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.

We suggest making business cards with your code word and our 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 people can take with them, letting them know how to do it 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.

Something like this below. It will vary clearly on what questions you ask and what you write in your thank you message.

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.

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 clear to fans/customers how many questions you have and to keep responding until they receive your thank you message.

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 J (and truthfully we haven’t noticed any drop off in sign ups due to extra digit entering)

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 are working on adding different countries and will announce which ones and when soon. Currently we are beta testing an UK number. If interested please email us at lizrdbrain@gmail.com
