Looking to see what kind of responce people are getting from this service. Want to find a way to reach out to clients that have not been in for a while. Also want to creat a sence of urgency to clients to come in and buy something that maybe only being offered for a short period of time. I would like to see if there is a more effective and cheaper alternative to direct mailings, which i feel is very expensive, with a small % of return rate. I would think that text messages puts the message right in the clients pocket versus a mailing mixed with a bunch of bills and junk mail. Dont know, would like to hear from others that have tried this versus mailings

Re: Text Club

I only do Email (through my website) and text deals (textripple.com). No more mailing everything we do is electronic. I also use Yahoo, Google, Yelp and CitySearch etc...

Re: Text Club

I can tell you if you mail me something it will go directly into the trash. Even some bills go there if they don't make it clear its a bill. I think it's a complete waste.

Re: Text Club

My email doesn't cost me anything to do as it's part of my website package. I tell people to enable our addy so it doesn't go to spam.

I did an email for our shortened hours (blizzard) with an offer and got 20 people just from that, each bought a package and got a lotion for 50% off.

Re: Text Club

Texting is a great way to go. Our target market is constantly glued to the phone/text machine. It is also instant. You can be having a crappy day & send out a text with some crazy deal for 4 hours only & you will be amazed what can happen.

You just can send them daily, it has to be random, not even weekly or they will start to ignore them.

Re: Text Club

If you're looking for something cheaper, I've been using: http://www.optit.com/

I just got started with it, but it works.

Best deal I found above, but am probably purchasing Bulk SMS Text software.
