Blink is designed to meet your direct ordering and fleet management needs. However, advertising is beyond the scope of our business. You may choose to advertise through a marketing agency or in-house.

Promoting the digital touchpoints of your business to your new and existing customers is best done through:

• Online marketing channels such as social media platforms, emails and push notifications
• Offline-to-online marketing methods such as flyers and QR codes at points-of-sale

The bulk SMS feature is built into the Blink Merchant Portal for you to use for no additional cost.
