Who is Longview Lawn And Garden?
Longview Lawn & Garden Equipment was founded in January 1982 with very humble beginnings by K.T Mize. Hard work and personal customer service forced many expansions over the many years.What started out as a hobby has turned into one of the more successful outdoor power equipment dealerships in Texas. With the passing of K.T. in 2008, the dealership continues to move forward with sons Keenan & Corey Mize. They strive to meet expectations with pride and a commitment to service.

Challenge
Longview Lawn and Garden had challenges:
- No one was picking up the phone
- Voicemails weren’t set up or their inbox was full
- Phone calls, emails and direct mail was taking too much time to reach customers - making communication inefficient
Solution
How Kenect solved these issues:
- Texts are typically answered within 3 seconds - making texting much more efficient than a phone call
- Kenect improved communication by allowing the Longview to text their customers with reminders, part updates, payment links, and more
- Staff can now focus on important tasks instead of making phone calls since texting is so much quicker
