Marketing · included UI
Email and text your customers
When new stock lands, hours change, or a special is live, tell the people who already buy from you. Email tools ship with SpotPro for opted-in contacts. SMS uses your own Twilio account when you want texts.
Messaging in SpotPro is built for shops that already know their regulars — not for buying cold lists. Manage Subscribers holds opted-in email and phone contacts. Send Notifications composes the blast, shows email vs text reach counts, and can schedule for later. Signup QR codes and kiosk links grow the list at the counter without typing numbers by hand.
Email reach uses valid opted-in addresses on the plan. Text reach needs Twilio under Configuration → TEXT (SMS) Messaging plus compliant opt-in. Price-monitor alerts are a separate path (AI Price Alert / price monitor) so marketing blasts do not get mixed with automated risk alerts.
Use sparingly. Coin customers notice spam. SpotPro shows audience sizes before you send so you know whether you are texting 12 people or 400.

How it works day to day
The details you need before you try it on the counter.
Grow the list at the counter
Print the signup QR from Subscribers / messaging tools and tape it by the register. Customers opt in with phone and/or email. Prefer phone if you plan to text — email-only contacts will not show in SMS reach.
The kiosk URL is for your own iPad or laptop at a show. Do not email that raw kiosk link to customers if it skips bot protection — use the public signup path designed for the web when you need a shareable link.
Send a blast the right way
Open Send Notifications, pick who should receive it (hours, specials, in-stock style audiences when configured), write a short message, and check the email vs text counts. Preview the email branding and SMS plain text before you hit send.
Schedule when you want the message to go out after close. Include your shop name so people know who texted them. SpotPro will warn you that repetitive blasts annoy customers — that warning is there for a reason.
Email vs SMS costs
The messaging UI is included with SpotPro. Email to opted-in subscribers does not require Twilio. SMS marketing uses your Twilio account — you pay Twilio for segments. Configure credentials under Messaging Config and keep A2P / opt-in compliance in mind.
Automated price-monitor texts are configured under price monitor / AI Price Alert settings, not the marketing composer.
Common questions
Short answers dealers ask before they try this on the floor.
Is SMS included in $69/mo?
The screens to manage subscribers and send messages are included. SMS carrier/Twilio usage is billed by Twilio on your account. Email marketing tools for opted-in contacts ship with SpotPro.
Can I text people who only gave email?
No. Text reach only counts contacts with a valid mobile number and SMS opt-in. Grow the list with phone capture at the counter if you want text reach.
Where do I set up Twilio?
Configuration → TEXT (SMS) Messaging. Enter account credentials and messaging number per the help docs, then test before a big blast.
