Don't spam your customers do this instead

Why You Shouldn’t Text Blast Your Customers and What You Should Do Instead

If there’s one thing we know, it’s that everyone hates text blasts from a 5-digit number. When you get a text from a 5-Digit Number telling you to “Reply YES to Redeem Offer” you probably are just going to ignore it. 

When you send bulk SMS texts to your customers, they don’t feel like they’re being treated like people. They know that they’re being texted from a bot, and they feel like they’re just another number on a list. 

So how can you as a business use SMS Marketing and still keep your customers feeling like they’re being treated as people?
