With more consumers on their phones than ever before, now is a great time for brands to leverage [SMS marketing](/platform/sms-marketing/) to reach shoppers where they already are. To help brands get started, we’re waiving our SMS package fees for small businesses for a full year and heavily discounting base fees on advanced packages for larger brands. Learn more about the [limited time promotion here](/blog/sms-marketing-promotion/). **Building Lasting Community: Introducing Yotpo Membership** *Presented by Josh Enzer, VP Product Marketing* We know that business looks different for each of our customers right now, but across the board we’ve seen that roughly 10% of our customers have experienced more than a 50% drop in orders compared to the same time last year. We want to help those brands now, when it matters most. We accelerated development on Yotpo Membership, our new paid membership model, and we made it quick-to-launch so brands affected by COVID-19 can accelerate upfront cash flow and build long-term customer loyalty right away.

To stand out from the crowd and build consumer confidence at the moment of discovery, it’s essential for brands to leverage reviews and user-generated content. Yotpo’s partnership with Google allows brands to feature star ratings, reviews, and customer photos in their Google Shopping Ads and Google Shopping Product Listings, so your brand can drive more new traffic and boost conversion.
