We are looking for good, user friendly sms (text) and/ voice marketing programs or apps to use in our real estate business (mostly for hotel guests).  Something we have not done before.  Any suggestions of what to use?  

We would also love to hear experiences from other investors !

Thanks

-Gay

@Gay Lloyd If it’s for your previous hotel guests you have 18 months from their last stay to send them text messages with opportunities without getting in trouble. Even with bulk mail tools. You get what you pay for here so something like Trumpia or Twilio would be a good option. 

For real estate investing (specifically people you don’t have a relationship with) you need to be more careful with bulk sms tools. Podio pricing made us switch CRMs (they were bought buy Citrix and got greedy) but they are a great option too because each message is sent individually. 

Twilio seems to work with everything so it will grow with you over time. It’s also the cheapest at $1 per month for the number and pay for use for everything else at low rates. I’ve seen some SMS companies charge $0.04 per text when Twilio is charging $0.0075 per text. I have a tool that uses Twilio and it works out great.
