Fear #1: "It’s going to be a logistical nightmare!"
Boo! That’s just the tech ghost of the past trying to scare you. Yes, implementing new systems can feel overwhelming, but the Textual text-to-buy platform was designed to be user-friendly and integrate seamlessly with your existing processes. The Textual founder has over 20 years of e-commerce experience, so the platform was created with businesses like yours in mind—making it easy to set up, train staff on, and use effectively. In fact, the simplicity of text-based purchasing can save time, cut down on errors, and improve efficiency across the board.
So don’t let this fear haunt you. With the right tools, implementing text-to-buy can be as easy as flicking on a light switch in a haunted house—no more wandering around in the dark!
Fear #2: "Our customers won’t want to use it."
The idea that customers will run screaming from text-to-buy is pure fiction. In reality, today’s consumers are busier than ever and love the ease and convenience that text-to-buy offers. From Millennials to Baby Boomers, people appreciate quick and seamless experiences—and that’s exactly what text-to-buy delivers. Customers can place orders from anywhere, without having to log in to accounts or navigate websites from a small screen.
Rather than shrinking from new technology like a vampire from sunlight, your customers will likely embrace it, appreciating how simple it makes their lives.
Fear #3: "It’s too expensive!"
Before you conjure up visions of dollar bills flying out the window, consider this: while there may be some upfront costs, a text-to-buy program can actually increase your ROI. By streamlining the purchasing process, reducing abandoned carts, and increasing customer engagement, text-to-buy has the potential to drive more sales and reduce overhead costs associated with traditional customer service. Plus, Textual offers scalable pricing models that align with your business’s size and needs.
So before you panic, look at the long-term benefits of improved efficiency and customer satisfaction—it’s a treat, not a trick!
Fear #4: "It will open us up to security risks."
Cue the spooky music… except wait—there’s nothing creepy lurking in the dark! Textual provides top-tier security protocols to keep both your company and your customers safe. Encrypted transactions, multi-factor authentication, and secure data storage are all in place to ensure your peace of mind. Take a look at our SMS Compliance.

Textual can integrate with your existing CRM, inventory, and payment systems without needing a major overhaul.
