A new online service for sending promotional and marketing text messages to consumers was launched yesterday. Boston-based Textalert.com – a new SMS marketing solution, which operates on a pre-paid credits system without subscription fees, was designed for small- to medium-sized businesses.
Users of Textalert.com enter their message, input the numbers of their customers into an online address book and click ‘send’ – no additional software is needed to use the system, which can be accessed from any internet-connected PC. The new SMS marketing tool is able to send messages through all major U.S. carriers.
