Hey BP,
I’m currently sending out another wave of marketing to potential leads I’m interested in personally. I wanted to get any feedback on anyone’s experience with SMS marketing tools like “ReachApp”? Any recommendations? Low budget if possible as I have small batches of leads I’m focused on
Thanks in advance,

Hi @Derrick Alexis ,
Are you looking for sellers or ? And what kind of properties? (I'm sure you are aware of the stringent SMS rules.)
We use this to send specific offers to sellers in small quantities. It can work but the response and acceptance is nowhere near as well as good ole direct mail.

Batch-SMS is a terrible strategy and everyone hates it when they receive it. The only way that text messaging works for sellers is after you have confirmed that they are ok to receive text messages in lieu of calls. Everyone knows a BS mass text these days. Do not waste your time. Texting should be a communicative thing for sellers you have a relationship with. Do you know anyone who got a blind text and responded? I didn't think so.

TextSherpa is great.
Just make sure that once you've locked in a price that works for you, you transition to getting them on the phone ASAP.
