How it works
01
Put the QR wherever your customers already stand — the window, the register, the mirror, the receipt, the invoice. It opens a pre-filled text — no app, no form, no email field.
02
One send opts them in. That inbound message is the consent record — consumer-initiated and carrier-witnessed. They can MUTE or STOP any time.
03
Write it once in the portal. It lands by SMS with a short link, and every claim comes back with a name, a number, and a timestamp.
Why it works
Four things owners figure out in the first week — and none of them work over email.
Email waits in a tab behind forty other promotions. A text lights up the phone in a pocket and gets read in minutes — which is the only speed that matters when the offer ends tonight.
Every follower texted you first, and MUTE or STOP is one word away at all times. Nobody is trapped on your list — which is exactly why the people on it keep reading.
Numbered tickets — 4 of 12 left — and a hard end time turn a passive read into a same-day visit. An offer that expires at 8pm gets acted on before 8pm, not bookmarked for never.
Every claim is a named customer with a timestamp, standing at your counter. Not a modeled conversion, not a coupon code you hope was theirs. You'll know by close whether the send paid for itself.

* Industry-typical benchmarks for SMS marketing vs. email marketing; your numbers will vary by audience and offer. Attribution is the part that doesn't: every YURN claim is a named customer, not a modeled conversion.
Where it works
Different storefronts, same mechanic: a slow stretch, one text to the people who chose to follow you, and the gap fills the same day.

Compliance
SMS marketing has rules, and the merchants worth having care about them. YURN is built so the compliant path is the only path.
The QR opens a text your customer sends. That inbound message is the consent record — consumer-initiated, carrier-witnessed, timestamped, and kept immutably. Stronger than any web-form checkbox.
No sends before 9am or after 8pm in the consumer's local timezone. Enforced at the send queue, not on the honor system — a scheduled blast that would land at 10pm waits until morning.
MUTE pauses a merchant for 30 days. STOP ends everything, instantly and permanently. We monitor opt-out rates per merchant and throttle automatically before carriers ever have to.
Every message rides a 10DLC-registered brand and campaign. Pro merchants get their own registered brand and a dedicated local number — their name on the message, their reputation intact.
