You may have noticed more businesses taking to your text message inbox to get your attention these days. With all the noise on social media, smart marketers are diversifying their efforts and ways to reach their consumers. One of the ways they are doing that is through SMS text marketing.

Think of text marketing as a way to supercharge your marketing efforts.
Possibly one of the most obvious things for getting started with text marketing is that you need to collect a phone number to initiate text campaigns. This can be as simple as giving away a “freebie” via text instead of your website using a platform like Textiful, EZTexting, or SlickText. We use the text opt-in feature at speaking engagements and for online events to collect information while presenting.
You can also use it in your social media marketing efforts. Collecting those digits will allow you to continue using the text option to engage prospects, current clients, and past clients. Once you’ve got their digits, you can keep your audience informed about and engaged with what’s happening in your business, like:
