Supercharge Your Child’s Business with Broadcast Messaging in Minor Chores
Launching a kid-run neighborhood business used to mean knocking on doors, handing out flyers, or relying on word of mouth. But now, with the Minor Chores app, your child has access to a powerful feature that transforms how they reach potential customers: Broadcast Messaging.
Whether your young entrepreneur is mowing lawns, walking dogs, babysitting, or washing cars, broadcast messaging takes their hustle to the next level—making it easier for parents to support, and for customers to respond.
📢 What Is Broadcast Messaging?
Broadcast messaging in the Minor Chores app allows kids and their parents to send one message to many neighbors at once—saving time while maximizing exposure. Think of it like a digital megaphone for your child’s business: it helps them announce their availability, promotions, or new services directly to local customers in just a few taps.
📇 How Customers Are Added to the Kid’s CRM
Before kids can send broadcast messages, they need a customer base—and the Minor Chores app makes this part easy and parent-friendly:
1. Share the Kid’s Business Website
Each Minor Chores kid gets a custom website link. Parents and kids can share this link with neighbors via text, email, or local community groups.
2. Invite Customers to Sign Up for SMS Updates
The website includes a simple prompt for neighbors:
“Join [Your Kid’s Name]’s SMS newsletter to hear about upcoming availability and services!”
Once someone signs up, their information is automatically added to that kid's built-in CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) inside the Minor Chores app.
🎯 Target the Right Customers with Smart Broadcasts
Now that your child has a growing list of interested neighbors, they can send targeted broadcast messages based on customer preferences:
They can select customers in the CRM by the type of services they are interested in outsourcing, such as yard work, babysitting, or pet care.
Then they can compose and send a single broadcast SMS to multiple customers at once, increasing the chances of immediate bookings.
Here’s a real-world example:
“Hi! I’m washing trash cans this Friday right after pickup. Book now for just $10 and I’ll handle the mess for you! Click here to grab a spot: [booking link]”
The customer receives a friendly text, clicks the link, and within seconds, confirms the booking—no app download required for customer bookings.
