Who uses sms marketing for their home service business ? Any tips of tricks ?

Is it through mail chimp or another better better service?

I did it once and want to keep doing it once every two weeks - but what is too much? … don’t want to annoy my previous clients.

    Are you personally texting them or using an automation? What do they look like? How often?

    Nobody likes sms spam, so all of these can really make a difference in their effectiveness. You don’t want your texts to be ignored or annoy your customer, so personalized texts at appropriate times make a big difference

    I’ve built an AI that texts clients. It’s very personalized (sounds like a human) with a configurable follow-up cadence. If you’d be interested, let me know! I’d love to hear your specific use case and see if it’s a good fit.

    Heres our website: www.attent.app

    Every message I get is hassle. I don’t want them. However if I need you regularly for windows, pools, weeds, gardening, maintenance, testing schedules that is different. Also, if you are offering a real genuine deal because you are quiet and need the extra business go ahead but ask just once or twice a year. I have several charities and a half dozen businesses that I own, manage or work with, help manage etc….i get 100 or more mails per day so sales messages are automatically moved out of the in box and dumped in a sales folder. Gmail does this for a lot of things too.

    Hardly any businesses send me sms messages. If they did I would probably block them. If you sent me a message every two weeks you would be blocked on message two.

    Be aware that many jurisdictions have limits and rules on what is effectively spam and you need permission or otherwise it can cost you a lot in fines.

    If you visit me regularly to do something just ask at that point in person if I want you back again to mow the lawns, test the alarms etc. Or set up a regular schedule and do a few hours work each week forever….make it easy for me but don’t hassle me.
