SMS Marketing in Sidmouth — FAQs

Do I need consent to text customers?

Yes. Marketing texts require consent, and every message must offer an easy way to opt out. Service messages such as appointment reminders are treated differently.

How do I market to an older customer base online?

Prioritise clarity, legibility, obvious phone contact and credible proof, and avoid interfaces that require multiple steps before someone can simply get in touch.

Prices are the same wherever you are in Devon. Monthly care packages start at £99 a month, websites start at £595, and sms & text marketing is quoted against the scope you actually need. Quoted per programme, plus your message costs. Usually added to an existing care package.
