SMS Marketing · Tampa BayTexts get read. Send the ones that earn it.

SMS Marketing FAQs.
Is SMS marketing legal?
Yes, with express written consent from each recipient before you text them. The TCPA carries penalties of $500 to $1,500 per message, so this is not a corner to cut. We build consent capture into every entry point, document it, and make opting out instant.
What is 10DLC registration and why does it matter?
A2P 10DLC is the carrier registration system for businesses texting from standard phone numbers. Unregistered traffic gets filtered or blocked outright, so messages quietly never arrive. Registration is a one-time setup involving your brand and use case, and we handle it as part of every program.
How often should a business send marketing texts?
Far less often than email. A text interrupts someone in a way an inbox does not, so it has to be time-sensitive or personally relevant: a reminder, a confirmation, a deadline. For most businesses that means a few messages a month at most, not a weekly blast.
Should we use SMS instead of email?
No, they do different jobs. Email carries substance: newsletters, nurture, education. SMS carries urgency: reminders, confirmations and fast follow-up. The programs that work coordinate both from one system, so a lead gets a text in the first five minutes and useful email for the months after.
Can you add SMS to our Mailchimp or HubSpot account?
Yes. Both platforms support SMS alongside email, and we work in both regularly. We set up consent capture, register your number, build the SMS steps into your existing journeys and report the results next to your email numbers, all without changing platforms.
