SMS Marketing for Small Business

Text message marketing built for local businesses. We grow the opt-in list, build the sequences, and keep the sending honest, and we price the work on the size of your list.

Pricing Plans

SMS Marketing Pricing

Priced by the number of contacts on your list. No published flat figure, because the list decides it.

Priced by your contact list

Priced by the number of contacts on your list

SMS marketing is priced on the number of contacts on your list, because that is what drives the volume and the work. Tell us roughly how many contacts you hold and how you want to use them, and we will quote it. There is no per-message markup, and message and carrier costs are paid by you directly to the platform.

The first week is free, and what that means

  • The first week of our management is free.
  • That week is a trial. It runs before anything is charged for management.
  • Message and carrier costs are separate. They are paid by you directly to the messaging platform and are not covered by us, during the free week or afterwards.

What's Included

What Our SMS Marketing Covers

We provide comprehensive services to ensure your success

Campaign and Sequence Setup

Welcome, reminder, and win-back sequences built around how you actually schedule work.

Contact List Growth

Keyword opt-in, in-store signup, and website capture so the list keeps growing on its own.

Consent and Compliance

Documented opt-in, honest send times, and a clear opt-out on every message.

Segmentation

Send to the right part of the list instead of blasting everyone the same message.

Appointment Reminders

Reminders that reduce no-shows, plus reactivation sends to customers who have gone quiet.

Delivery and Reply Reporting

Reporting on delivery, opt-outs, replies, and the work that came out of them.

Why Local Businesses Use Text Messaging

Text messages are read within minutes, which is why they work for anything time sensitive: a reminder the day before, a schedule change, a seasonal offer with a short window. Email still has a place, and marketing automation is usually where the two meet, but a text reaches the customer who has stopped opening email. The list is the asset. Everything else on this page is about building it honestly and using it carefully.

Consent Comes First

Text messaging is regulated, and the rules are strict for good reason. Every contact on the list needs a documented opt-in, every message needs a clear way to opt out, and the list needs to be scrubbed against opt-outs before each send. We set that up before the first campaign goes out, keep the consent records, and only message people who agreed to hear from you. That protects your number and your ability to keep texting at all.

Growing a List You Actually Own

A purchased list is a shortcut to a blocked number, so we do not do it. Instead the opt-in gets built into places you already have attention: a keyword people text in to, a signup at the counter, a form on your website, and a request after a finished job. The lead capture work you already have feeds the same list, so the two systems reinforce each other rather than running separately.

Timing, Cadence, and Not Burning the List

The fastest way to lose a list is to overuse it. Sending frequency is set around your schedule and season, quiet hours are respected, and messages are written so the value is obvious in the first line. A list that hears from you occasionally and usefully stays opted in for years, which is what makes it worth building.

Reminders and Reactivation

The two highest value sends are usually the least glamorous. An appointment reminder the day before cuts no-shows and keeps the schedule tight. A win-back message to customers who have not booked in a while brings back work you already paid to win. Both run on the same list, need no new ad budget, and are usually the first thing we set up.

How SMS Is Priced

Pricing is based on the number of contacts on your list, because that is what drives the work: list size, message volume, and how many sequences you need. There is no per-message markup and no long contract to sign to find out. Tell us roughly how many contacts you hold and how you want to use them, and we will quote it. Message and carrier costs charged by the platform are paid by you directly. Get in touch and we will price it for your list.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About SMS Marketing

It depends on the size of your contact list, because that is what determines the volume and the work involved. We do not publish a flat figure. Give us an idea of how many contacts you hold and how you want to use them, and we will quote it for your list.

Yes. Every contact needs documented consent before they can be messaged, and every message carries a way to opt out. We set the consent process up as part of onboarding and keep the records, because texting a list without it puts the whole channel at risk.

Where they have agreed to hear from you, yes. Past customers and repeat clients are usually the fastest list to start with, since they already know the business. We handle the opt-in request and keep the records.

It is set with you, and it is deliberately restrained. Frequency is planned around your season and schedule, quiet hours are respected, and we would rather send less and stay welcome than train the list to ignore you.

It should, and usually it does. Text messaging sits next to the follow-up you already run, and we will work with the tools you have rather than making you replace them. Tell us what you are using and we will tell you honestly how well it joins up.

You do, directly to the messaging platform. Our fee is for building and running the list and the campaigns, and we do not mark up the message costs or cover them on your behalf.

Yes, and most businesses do. A smaller list is easier to keep tidy and easier to measure. Pricing scales with the list, so it grows as the list grows rather than locking you into a number today.
