😎Make the most of 160 characters, you really do not have the space to chat much.Text messages are limited to 160 characters. Make sure to get to the point fast.

🐂But do not let that discourage you from investing in SMS marketing, it is my obligation to let you know. There is still a lots of legal ways to get customers to optin (e.g) you can add a phone number field to your optin page, offer a freebie to your customers as a benefit, or a discount for opting in to recieve your SMS messages.🌍
