A phone showing a text-message conversation. Tony’s Pizzeria sends a Tuesday special: $5 off any large pie tonight from 4 to 9pm, with a Reply STOP to opt out line. The customer replies, Coming in at 6, and the message is marked delivered.
The problem
Your customers read texts. Email, not so much.
Picture your own inbox. Promotions stacked ten deep, half of them unread, most of them destined for the trash without a second look. The average email campaign gets a 31% open rate and a 1.69% click rate, so most of what a business sends is never seen, and almost no one clicks through.
Source: Klaviyo email marketing benchmarks, February 2026A text is different. 74% of people check a new text within five minutes, and 23% open it inside a single minute. It’s the one channel where sent and seen happen close together, which is exactly what you want for a same-day offer or a next-morning reminder. Text message marketing puts you in that channel, and we help you use it without being a pest.

SMS marketing in three steps, done for you
You don’t learn a new tool or manage a thing. We set it up, write the messages, and keep it compliant. You approve and watch customers come back.
We build your list the legal way
Opt-in keywords, a QR code at the counter, a signup box on your website. Every subscriber asks to be there, we record their consent, and we never buy or rent a list.
We write and send your campaigns
Offers, reminders, and drip sequences, written in plain language that fits a text. You approve everything before a single message goes out.
Customers come back
Redemptions, bookings, and repeat visits. When someone texts STOP, it's handled automatically, so your list stays clean and compliant.
What’s included
Everything you need to text customers well
Broadcast campaigns
One text to your whole list: a weekend special, a new product, a last-minute opening. Sent when you want it seen, not buried in a feed.
Automated drip sequences
A welcome series for new subscribers, a nudge after a first visit, a win-back for quiet customers. Set once, they run on their own. Automated text messages earn click rates near 10%, versus 1.69% for the average email campaign.

A text the day before cuts no-shows and saves the phone tag. Customers confirm with a quick reply, and your calendar stays full.
List building and opt-in management
Keyword signups, QR codes at the counter, and website forms build a list of people who actually want to hear from you. 85.6% of U.S. consumers are opted in to receive texts from businesses, so your customers are already used to it.

When a customer texts back a question, it reaches you. Real conversations, not a one-way blast into the void.
Plain-English reporting
Who you reached, who clicked, who came in. No jargon and no dashboards to decode, just what the campaign actually did.
Carrier registration and TCPA compliance, handled
The part that trips businesses up, done for you. We took our own brand and campaigns through A2P 10DLC carrier review, so we set yours up the same way: registered and compliant from day one.
We’ve done it ourselves
We passed the carrier gauntlet ourselves
Before we sold SMS marketing to anyone, we registered our own brand and campaigns through A2P 10DLC carrier review, built our own opt-in flows, and started running under the exact rules we’d set up for you. Real registration, real compliance, not theory from a slide deck.
We’d rather show you than tell you. Text DEMO to 315-277-6868 and watch it happen on your own phone: a welcome text, one sample campaign like the ones we’d write for your business, and a short wrap-up. Three messages, then nothing else unless you ask. Reading this on a computer? Here’s how the demo works.

Who it’s for
A text does real work in almost any shop
Restaurants
A Tuesday-special text fills slow nights. Send it at 4pm and watch the 6pm tables show up.
Salons and barbers
Reminders the day before cut no-shows, and a gap in tomorrow's book gets filled with one text.
Retail and boutiques
New arrivals drop straight to a VIP list. Your best customers hear first and come in before it sells out.
Home services
Seasonal tune-up reminders bring back customers you already earned. A furnace text in October, an AC text in May.
Gyms and studios
Class openings and renewal nudges, sent to the people most likely to show up and sign up again.
Auto shops
Service-due reminders and a ready-for-pickup text keep the bay moving and customers in the loop.
Common questions
SMS marketing questions
Is texting customers legal?
Yes, with proper consent. Text marketing is governed by the TCPA and by carrier registration rules, and we set all of it up for you: the opt-in language, the consent record, and the brand and campaign registration the carriers require. Your customers opt in, we keep the proof, and every message follows the rules.
Where does my list come from?
Your own customers, the ones who opt in. They text a keyword, scan a QR code at your counter, or sign up on your website. We never buy, rent, or upload a purchased list, because that's how businesses get shut down, and it's not how you build something that lasts.
What if someone wants to stop?
They reply STOP and they're out, instantly and automatically. It's handled at the carrier level, so there's nothing for you to track and no way to accidentally text someone who left. A clean list is a compliant list.
Do I keep my number?
We set up a dedicated texting number for your campaigns, so your existing business line keeps working exactly as it does today, untouched. If you'd rather text from your current business number and it's eligible, we can register that one instead.
What does setup include?
A one-time $299 setup covers carrier registration, your opt-in flow, and your message templates: everything needed to launch compliant and ready to send. Setup is waived when you pay annually.
What counts as a text?
Texts are billed in 160-character segments. A longer message counts as two or three segments, and one with emoji or special characters can count as more. We write your campaigns to fit, so you get the most out of every send.
Does it work with my booking system or CRM?
Often, yes. Professional covers the common appointment-reminder and confirmation setups, and Premium adds custom integrations that connect your texts to your booking tool or CRM directly. Tell us what you use and we'll tell you what fits.
