Hey, David! Word of warning - you cannot use lists that you don't generate on your own. If you want to be able to text someone they need to explicitly sign up to receive texts from you. You can't buy or use lists in any way.
Absolutely not. Anyone who you intend to send a text message to needs to explicitly opt in. If they didn't opt in to your specific list to receive information from you you cannot use that list under any circumstances.
Great question, Bettina! It honestly depends. For instance, you cannot manually add a new user to your Text Marketing Contacts from Marketing 360®. This must be initiated by a user reaching out to you in order to comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. Sending a customer an unsolicited text message just isn't a good look for your business, so you'll want to make sure you follow the rules!
We've found it to be incredibly successful. It's a quick and easy way to keep your customers appraised of market conditions, new listings, etc. Very useful!
Text message receivers get charged correct? If so, this is a bad idea. Customers won't like it. Hmm... What is the percentage of receivers who have to pay for the text to receive?
In the old days before texting became commonplace, yes. Generally a text cost around $0.10 to send and $0.10 to receive. However almost every smart phone in the US comes with a data plan that includes SMS and MMS messaging so there is no additional cost. With around 98% of text messages being read in within the first 5 minutes it can be an incredible way to connect with your customers!
I keep receiving short code text messages almost everyday offering overnight weightloss and riding of pot belly (it coincides with some unfortunate weight gain I've experienced and with a neighbor whom keeps harassing me. How can I find out if these are malicious in nature or just a fluke?
Hi, Joan! You can send a "bulk" message to all contacts who have opted in. However, you can't spam your list or send to people who have not opted in to receive messages from you. Hope that helps!
Great question! SMS is a great way to reach multiple people on their devices at once. However keep in mind that people need to opt in to receive text messages - you can't just make up your own list of prospects and blindly text them without their consent. Other than that, you can get incredibly creative with your messaging and approach
Great tips and presentation. I like the fact that the presenter talks with the right speed so I can understand what he's saying. I just subscribed.

This is hilarious lol. I hope you’re okay.
