Relationship-First texting · Made in Canada for Canadian businesses

Keep your people close — one good message at a time.

Strum is text marketing and loyalty for local businesses. Customers opt in with a quick scan or text, you send them messages they're genuinely glad to get, and they earn rewards for coming back — with Canadian compliance handled in the background.

What it feels like

The kind of texting people are glad to be part of.

For a local business, your regulars are the whole world. Strum is built to treat them that way — every message a small, welcome hello, every visit worth coming back for.

For your customers

Texts they're glad to see

  • Messages they're genuinely glad to get
  • A reward they'll happily walk in for
  • A little dashboard to choose what they hear, and pause when life is busy
  • A warm welcome the moment they opt in, with consent kept quietly on file
For your team

Simple to run, easy to love

  • One approved message, and anyone on staff can send it on-brand
  • A list that grows with a friendly QR
  • Loyalty that mostly runs itself
  • Your brand, from the first hello to the loyalty card
What you get

Everything you need to keep a relationship warm.

Always your brand

Customers see your name, your colours, your logo — on every message and every screen. White-label from the first hello to the loyalty card.

Loyalty they'll actually use

Points named whatever you like — Stars, Crows, Reps, Bucks. Earned with one quick QR scan, redeemed anytime. A coffee on us, or a class on the house — the reward that feels like the gift it is.

Messages worth receiving

Approved, on-brand templates anyone on staff can send with confidence. Every message sounds like you — the kind of note that earns a smile.

CASL, quietly handled

Express opt-in, sender identification, and a one-tap opt-out on every send — the Canadian rules taken care of in the background, so you can text with confidence.

A home for your customers

Reply DASH and they land in a tidy little dashboard — choose what they hear about, pause for a season when life is busy, and see their rewards. Just a tap, no password to remember.

One QR, two jobs

The same code signs new people up and earns a loyalty point on every visit. A scan says hello and says thanks — quick at the counter, with nothing to install.

Loyalty

Your regulars will come back for two little words: on us.

Strum's loyalty runs on warmth. Customers earn points with a tap, watch a reward they truly want get closer, and light up the day they hear "this one's on us." A thank-you with their name on it — the kind that earns a story, and another visit.

Earned, and almost there
One visit from a latte on us
9 of 10 visits · Your Café

They can see it coming. That pull of "almost there" is what brings them back through your door — one more visit, and it's theirs.

A little surprise, now and then
Lucky scan — today's muffin is on us.

Every so often a scan wins a little something unexpected. Those small surprises become the stories your customers tell their friends.

Call your points whatever fits your place — Stars, Crows, Reps, Petals. The feeling is always the same: earned, and given with warmth.

Why it's called Strum

Strike a note, and everything near it answers.

Sand dances on a drumhead. Water trembles in a pail. A sound reaches out, and the world around it responds.

A strum works the same way. Every message opens room for a reply — and a reply is where connection begins. That is what Strum is for: starting a real dialogue between you and the people you serve, one resonant note at a time. You strum; they answer; the relationship grows.
