    I would be weary of running a text message marketing campaign. I understand the potential benefits, and the audience you can reach. However, I think it can become to invasive to consumers. As for now, text messaging is one of the only forms of communication where people aren’t bombarded with advertisement after advertisement.

    Hey Andrew, you have to consider that people have opt-in to your text message list and want to receive information and specials for you. As a marketer you must not over do it either, you don’t want to bombard those on your list to a point of making them opt-out. Text message marketing has been a very successful avenue for many of our clients.

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.
