Anyone using text marketing?

[Mark Nagurski]

Hi there,

We've just set up a new text marketing service and have put the site up for review and feedback. Apart from a few hitches with the website, things have gone really well and people have evn started to pay us - which is nice.

Problem is educating businesses as to the potential of txt as a viable marketing tool. We've scoured the net and have dug up quite a few case studies etc... but what we really want is to hear from businesses that are already using txt marketing. Most of the examples we have are from multinationals etc... - we're more interested in SMEs and start-ups.

Is there anyone using txt marketing at the moment? What are your experiences? What made you try it out? What drawbacks have you found?

If you're not, have you ever considered it before?

Anything would be a help. Feel free to PM or email me if you prefer at

Thanks

Hi,
Can you buy optin mobile numbers, say for customers looking for gifts?

No, we help companies build their own private databses so that everyone on them actually wants to hear from them - we advertise their business on our site and give them the tools to start building their own list

It's all free except for the messages they choose to send out - much more about keeping in touch with loyal customers and building strong wom buzz

You can buy/rent optin lists from a range of companies (just google 'sms lists') but the quality can vary wildly
