Although text messaging campaigns for businesses may seem like the hottest new thing, I’ve been creating campaigns for almost 4 years now (wow time flies).\u00a0 In that time, I’ve been lucky to be a part of some very successful promotions.\u00a0 From giveaways to contests to interactive surveys. So, I thought in this post I would share some of my favorite (and more successful) promotion ideas:<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n Alerts, Offers, Contests and Coupons<\/strong><\/p>\n Sending\u00a0 a special offer text message is a great way to fill unsold or slow time slots.
