Some of my other concerns are being viewed as a nuisance by people I may know in the small community, putting my personal cell out there either on mailers, or cold calling.

I manage a property that is a very remote area with no cell service or anything.

Cell phones.

My portfolio is small and I self manage, so I am still able to give my cell to all my tenants.

She is an older that does not know how to use a cell phone, computer, or really tech and doesn't have a car.

with email marketing for example, a good open rate is 20%. with text, the average open rate is 90% or higher. everyone reads every text they get. that extra 10% is due to some phone carriers having a “spam text” folder. i personally have never seen this, but i do see many of my texts not being delivered due to the phone carriers’ spam folders. anywho, people rarely answer the phone, and almost always listen to voicemails. so i feel texts & voicemail drops would probably have about the same efficacy. texts might beat VM drops because they could be perceived to be more authentic (depending on how they’re written), meaning more responses. you’d also have to consider your demographic. will you know that the #s on the list are cell phones vs landlines?

They just took old cell photos that were a bit bad...

For all the wholesalers out there, are there words or phrases you shouldn't use when text message marketing that may be getting filtered or blocked by cell phone providers?

In CA doing business means simply making a cell phone call while in that state!!
