Abstract

A system and method for obtaining sales promotions via a text-messaging based interaction. The system comprises a call-to-action link that reduces the number of steps needed to obtain a sales promotion via a website. The call-to-action link triggers a prepopulated text message on a user's mobile device, whereby the user needs to only press send, and receive the sales promotion text message in return. The returned text message may provide the sales promotion in a variety of ways, such as a scannable bar code or QR code, a hypertext or URL link, an alphanumeric text, or other medium send-able via messaging services and usable by business establishments.
