What types of businesses use HeyApprove?

Small brick-and-mortar businesses: restaurants, cafes, salons, spas, boutiques, gyms, florists, jewelers, bakeries, and local service providers. Any small business where the owner is also the marketer.

How does HeyApprove work with my point-of-sale system?

Connect Square, Shopify, or Mindbody. HeyApprove reads what you actually sell, watches for slow days and dormant customers, and matches promo code redemptions back to the campaign that caused them. That is how tracked revenue is measured and how pricing is calculated.

Does HeyApprove write the campaign for me?

Yes. The offer, the subject line, the copy, the promo code, the audience, and the send time all arrive finished. You approve it, ask for a change, or skip it. Nothing sends until you approve.

How much does HeyApprove cost?

Your first campaign is free for lists up to 500 subscribers. After that you pay per campaign: 5% of tracked revenue, with a floor and a ceiling. Email $5-$50, text $8-$50, both $10-$65. There is no monthly subscription.

Can HeyApprove send something without asking me?

No. Every campaign waits for your approval. If you do nothing, it expires and nothing goes out.

Get started

“Hey, Tuesday looks a little slow. I made something that could help.”

We write it.
You approve.

HeyApprove watches your register and your calendar, then prepares the whole campaign — the offer, the copy, the promo code, who gets it, when it goes. It arrives finished, with one question attached.

The loop

You make one decision. I do the rest.

Example One loop, start to finish

01 · I notice

Your register and your calendar

Slow afternoons, customers who haven’t come back, weather that changes foot traffic, the holidays that actually matter to your kind of business.

02 · I prepare

The whole campaign, finished

The offer, the copy, the promo code in your point-of-sale, who it goes to, whether it’s email or text, and when it should land. Not a template to fill in.

03 · You decide

Approve, change, or skip

It lands in your inbox with everything you need to judge it in about twenty seconds. Skipping is a real answer — nothing goes out unless you approve it.

04 · I handle it

Sending, tracking, reporting back

Delivery, the promo code’s whole life in your POS, unsubscribes and STOP replies, and then the part that matters: how many people came in and what they spent.

in sales tracked to the campaign

“I’ve been trying to get into email and text marketing for years, but it always felt like too much work. Setup took a couple of minutes. I printed the QR code, started getting signups, and sent my first campaign to 23 people. Ten of them redeemed the welcome code, and I netted $150. I love seeing real ROI — actual revenue tied to the campaigns I send.”

Mike Anaya

Owner, Anaya Coffee

Tracked sales are the total of the register transactions where this campaign’s promo code was applied, after discounts, over the seven days following the send. It counts redemptions, not customers, and it does not establish that the campaign caused every sale. One shop’s result — yours will differ. Mike Anaya is the founder’s brother.

Prefer to write it yourself? The editor is always there. Most owners stop opening it after a few campaigns.

What it costs

Never more than $65. No subscription. First one free.

You pay per campaign, and only after it runs: 5% of the revenue tracked in your register, with a floor and a ceiling. A campaign that earns nothing costs you the floor. A campaign that earns a fortune still stops at the ceiling.

$5 – $50

per campaign

Text

$8 – $50

per campaign

Email + text

$10 – $65

per campaign

You pay whichever is higher — the floor or 5% of tracked revenue — up to the ceiling. The floor applies even if a campaign tracks no sales. Larger sends add delivery charges on top.

The free first campaign covers lists up to 500 subscribers and 500 text message parts.

Trust

Nothing happens behind your back

Every campaign waits for you

There is no automatic send. If you don’t answer, the campaign expires and nothing goes out. You’ll never find out you sent something by hearing about it from a customer.

Your list is people who asked

Email signups confirm by clicking a link. Texts start when a customer texts you first. No purchased lists, no scraping, no quietly adding everyone who ever bought something.
