I can hear it now, “You want to text me coupons to my phone?  I don’t want to give you my phone number.  I don’t want any junk mail on my phone.”

I agree.

Our cell phone is the last bastion of privacy we have left.  Our mail box gets slammed.  Our driveways get unsolicited newspapers, Ziploc bags with a rock & an a landscaping ad, our doors get door hangers, our computers get pop-ups and pop-unders, Spam, TV & radio commercials, billboards, aaaaahhhhhhhhhh!

I get it.  I understand your frustration and distrust with the advertising industry that is relentlessly trying to distract you.

If you’re like me, you love your TiVo service.  (I know it’s a DVR but who says “facial tissue?”)  Skipping the commercials and watching what I want when I want.  It’s kind of a narcissistic technology wouldn’t you say?  They should have called it MeVo.

Anyhow, that’s how our SMS text restaurant coupon service will work.  You set a few personal parameters/preferences and you get what you want when you want it.  For those “in-the-know” we call this permission-based marketing.

It’s not a new concept in marketing. but a concept you’ll appreciate and use in this consumer-controlled economy.  You have limitless choices when it comes to spending your money.  However, your time and attention is a precious commodity that you will only give away with permission.

That’s how our bHungry SMS text restaurant coupon service works-only with your permission.

The big ad agencies will still pound you with funny commercials to get your attention but we are asking for your permission.

Sign up now and enjoy.

For those of you “tweeters” out there, follow us on Twitter.  We will get restaurants to give away free food offers which will be posted to our followers only on Twitter.

Last, but certainly not least, visit our charitable partner Children’s Hunger Fund.  When you guys order from bHungry.com or redeem a restaurant text coupon, we will donate financially to CHF.

Sincerely,

Andre M.

Founder - bHungry Inc.

Coming soon, you will be able to sign up (opt-in) to receive text message restaurant coupons.

It’s completely permission-based and you can customize your SMS coupon preferences.

No spam.  No junk mail.  No worries.

We will have a mobile site up & running so you can start saving money when you go to eat out…because we all gotta eat, right?

Besides, it’s just our small way of going green and eliminating junk mail.

We’d like to think of our SMS restaurant coupon service like TiVo - get what you want when you want it, or something like that.

By the way, you can follow us on twitter for private coupon offers, special events, and updates.  We promise not to tweet about pilates, business meetings, sports or stock picks.  Just stuff that can possibly make you a ‘happy camper’ for following us. If we stray off course with our tweets, let us know gently.  ‘Senior moments’ are occurring more frequently.

Sincerely,

Andre

On Thursday May 15^th around 11:00pm, we launched bHungry.com.

From the beginning, our vision has always been to be the premiere restaurant directory featuring local restaurant menus, restaurant photos, restaurant videos, & restaurant reviews. We believe we’re on the right track and will continue to develop & improve your search for a great local restaurant.

Pizza, Chinese restaurants, Mexican restaurants, and Italian restaurants…what more could you ask for?

How about more restaurants?

Sure.

New Simi Valley restaurants will be added frequently. We will write an update of the new restaurants that are being added right here in the “News” section.

Here are 3 simple ways to help our local Simi Valley restaurants:

1. Call a restaurant on bHungry.com for Take-Out, Delivery, or to make Reservations.

2. Write a ‘Review’ for a restaurant that you have eaten at.

3. Rinse, then, Repeat Step 1.

When you order for Delivery, Take-Out, or make Reservations on bHungry.com, you will be feeding 2 families; yours and another family. And it costs you nothing extra! That’s right. For example, when you order a pizza from bHungry.com, we will donate a portion of our profits to our charitable partner, Children’s Hunger Fund (www.childrenshungerfund.com).

Isn’t that cool? You order food for your family & another family benefits!

Thanks for your support and may God bless you & your family!
