SMS for Meal Prep Services
Remind subscribers before the weekly menu locks, chase failed payments before delivery day and win back lapsed customers, all by text.
How meal prep services use SMS
A meal prep menu that locks at midnight is only useful if subscribers know it's about to change, and a failed card payment that nobody notices means a missed delivery. Australian meal prep and healthy food delivery brands use Mobile Message to remind their whole subscriber base before the weekly menu cuts off, chase failed payments before the next delivery run, and win back customers who've gone quiet with a time-limited discount code.
Mobile Message sends these from 1.6¢ per message with no monthly fees or contracts, so a weekly menu reminder to thousands of subscribers costs a fraction of an email that gets buried. Personalise every text with the subscriber's first name, send from your brand's name, and let the REST API trigger a payment reminder automatically the moment a card declines.
Weekly menu deadline reminders
Text your subscriber list before the weekly menu locks so nobody misses out on this week's dishes or a new item you've just added.
Discount and win-back campaigns
Send a time-limited discount code to win back a lapsed subscriber or reward one who's about to cancel, with an opt-out on every campaign.
Failed payment and billing reminders
Let subscribers know the moment a card payment fails, with a link to update their details before the cut-off for their next delivery.
Order cut-off and delivery updates
Give customers a heads-up when the cut-off for late orders is extended, or confirm deliveries are running as normal over a public holiday.
New product and menu launches
Announce a new dish or product line to your whole list the same week it hits the menu, while it's still top of mind.
