Text Marketing Q's

[Gina H.]

@MJ DeMarco this question is specifically for you, but happy to hear from ANYONE using this strategy (or thinking about it) that has insights to share too!

Yours is the only text "list" that I've joined – is there anywhere you've shared your thoughts on why you started it, what technology you use to deliver it, how it's going, etc?

I find myself wanting to share small tidbits, but don't want to clutter people's inboxes with them (nor make them "that official") and don't own social media channels (or enjoy using them, ha!).

Appreciate any insight anyone has to offer!
