    Hi I am hoping to introduce SMS Marketing to my small business. I run an Online Plant delivery service and consulting businesses. I was going to use the SMS marketing to share gardening Tips and special offers from my website with my customers. I DO NOT INTEND ON COLD SMS-ING. I will ask customers first to sign up and I will not sue their number without their consent. My question is, what SMS Marketing platform are people using and what one would they recommend. Any help appreciated.

    Anything which connects with your existing customers and maintains your business profile in their thoughts is well worth the effort. Regular, personal communication without over doing it, ‘less is more” and see what the reaction is.

    Hi Reggie,

    If I have opted In for SMS marketing, then I think it’s a great way to push information out to your clients. I love it when I get specials for my favourite stores etc, it’s quick and easy and if I don’t need it I just delete it. :).

    You may also want to consider a provider that has combined services for both SMS and Email, so you can utilise the same service for both forms of marketing, rather than having your contacts in 2 places.

    Make sure the one you choose has an automated opt out systems in place, so you don’t have to manually remove them from the list.

    Below are some links – one to a comparison site and another for a service that provides both. Do some research on reviews for each.

    Great idea.

    A good place to start would be to find an SMS/text marketing provider that works relatively easily with your e-commerce platform and fits your requirements.
