Does anyone have any experience or feedback sending monthly specials, newsletters via e-mail or SMS texting?

I do both, some customers don't give their cell numbers on the original paperwork. Some of my customers receive the information both ways and don't have a problem with it. I would definately recomend SMS texting, it has been my best form of advertising at the cheapest price. If people don't like it they will ask you to remove them, both have worked great for me.

I have a yahoo account, when a new customer comes in the have to fill out paperwork, I obtain their email adress from that then enter it into my yahoo account. I have a list for customers and place them all in the folder and make sure to blind carbon copy everyone so that nobody can see the email addresses.

What about the texting? Thanks for being so helpful.

I deal with a local company in my area called M6Marketing, they may be national not sure. You can contact the owner (super nice guy) to find out if he can handle what you need; I currently send out blasts twice a month and my base is 1,000 (opened in January 2010). Rich Horne 801-824-4722, the prices are very reasonable and an easy system to work on. Let him know that I referred you and if M6Marketing is not national I'm sure he would know a company that is.
