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 Torquay that usually means working with hospitality, hotels and holiday accommodation, restaurants and leisure and health and care services, so sms & text marketing here is shaped around the enquiries those businesses actually get — not a template applied to every town in Devon.

Why this matters in Torquay

Torquay is the largest of the three Torbay towns, with an economy dominated by tourism, hospitality and accommodation, alongside healthcare, care services, retail and the trades that support a large housing and holiday-let stock.

SMS Marketing in Torquay — 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 should a seasonal Torquay business plan its marketing?

Build visibility in the shoulder months before demand peaks, since organic search and reviews take time to build and cannot be switched on in June.

Should I target Torbay or Torquay?

Both, carefully. 'Torbay' captures the wider area, but visitors overwhelmingly search for the named town they are staying in.

How much does sms & text marketing cost in Torquay?

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.

Do you work with businesses based in Torquay?

Yes. DigitalTiger is run from Exeter and works with trades and small businesses throughout Torquay and the surrounding area, remotely by default with in-person meetings available across Devon.
