Copy everything
Marketing texts need the recipient's consent in many places. In the US, the TCPA and carrier rules apply, and the right wording depends on how you got the number and whether the message is marketing. Identify yourself, include an opt-out, honour opt-outs at once and avoid texting at night. These templates are not legal advice: check the rules that apply to you before you send. Text in [brackets] is for you to fill in truthfully. A segment is 160 plain characters, or 153 each once a text is split, and emoji or accented letters can count as more.
Texting a prospect
- Get consent first: only text people who have agreed to hear from you, and keep a record of it.
- Say who you are: name and company in the first line, every time.
- Always give an opt-out: every template here ends with one, and you must honour replies at once.
- Keep it short: one idea, one question, and under one segment where you can.
