Boostly (YC S22)

When Jaime McMahon, owner of Hickory Station Pizzeria, launched his first text marketing campaign with Boostly (YC S22), he couldn't believe what he was seeing, "We had the busiest Saturday we have ever had. I think we saw a $5k jump in sales that day. At the end of the night we were looking at each other like 'what just happened?" But the sales didn't stop there. Jaime continued, "I started crunching the numbers...and every month we're up about 20%. We're averaging about 500 tickets more per month. I'm probably getting back 15x the money I'm putting into this. It's absolutely amazing."
