Local businesses used to rely on flyers and emails. Now, they're sending updates straight to your phone. A mass text messaging service helps them reach customers instantly — no app needed. Restaurants use it to share daily specials. Salons send out flash deals during slow hours. It’s fast, direct, and gets noticed. Open rates for text messages are higher than emails, making it a smart move. Most services don’t require tech skills to use. You just upload your contacts, type the message, and send. For small business owners, it’s an easy win.
