That's all well and good Kev if you have that database of customers in the first place.

I think once you have that volume of customers, if you are sensible with it then text marketing is great idea.

The only company I get text messages from is Dominoes Pizza, I reckon they send out about once a month. I can cope with that and don't find it to bad, any more than that though would be too much.

this is what worries me about this type of marketing, gary says he can just about stand 1 text a month from dominoes. question gary, how often do you eat? see where i'm going with this?

ps... not saying i disagree with text marketing, i'm just throwing stuff in to think about.

Derek, as you know one person getting fed up with a text doesnt mean another person will! Also if the database has an unsubscribe, that means a particular client doesnt have to receive them in future - so no problem

Colin - you have Microsoft Word, so YES! You can design anything in Word i.e. flyers, leaflets, newsletters, letters, address labels etc etc etc. Thats the beauty of our system.

With new enquiries that are not yet clients, you can simply put them into a client type called say 'prospects' and market them differently. When they become a client you simply click a button to change them to normal 'domestic' clients.

Remember, these things are designed to make things easier, quicker and much more proftable - not harder, slower and having less money in your pocket.
