What sms & text marketing involves
SMS marketing uses text messaging for time-sensitive, high-value communication — appointment reminders, review requests, urgent offers — where the message needs to be seen quickly and consent is in place.
In Exeter that usually means working with professional and financial services, construction and trades and healthcare and private clinics, so sms & text marketing here is shaped around the enquiries those businesses actually get — not a template applied to every town in Devon.
