You can reach more people using a reliable channel that they’ll actually see…
...with SMS marketing via Mobile Text Alerts (MTA).
So why should you use MTA rather than another SMS marketing provider?
Here are a few considerations to take into account when thinking about SMS platforms.
Make sure people actually SEE your messages with mobile-compliant SMS marketing
You’ve probably heard about legal issues surrounding SMS marketing.
In reality, the most pressing concern in regard to SMS compliance is not the legal aspects, which have actually slackened over the years. The TCPA and GDPR are not generally major issues for SMS marketing anymore (as long as you’re not actually spamming people, of course).
Rather, the issue that more marketers run into is trying to keep compliant with mobile carrier regulations.
Violating these rules won’t get you into legal trouble, but the mobile carriers may block your messages as spam.
Thankfully, you can get all the help you need to make sure you’re compliant with our easy onboarding process that walks you through everything you need to know.
Get the help you need when you need it—from real people!
If you ever do have questions or issues regarding compliance or anything else, help from actual real life people is just a click away.
You’ll get real answers to your questions from people who really want to help.
Reach more people with the SMS marketing features you need
With all the standard SMS marketing features you need—such as “set-it-and-forget-it” automated message campaigns, a 1-on-1 messaging inbox, and message reporting—you’ll be able to reach the people you’re trying to reach.
Plus, you can explore standout tools such as mass iMessage, AI SMS Chatbots, and the new Workflow Builder (for more elaborate campaign building) to get the most engagement out of the audience you’ll be reaching.
You don’t want another time-suck to add to your team’s already packed to-do list.
MTA gives you automated options to set up SMS campaigns that don’t need to be micro-managed.
This is possible through:
- Automated scheduling and drip campaigns
- Workflow creation (which allows for more elaborate campaign building)
- API
You don’t have to wonder whether SMS marketing is right for you—because it’s right for virtually every industry imaginable.
Since it’s a communication tool (and an effective one at that!), every industry can benefit from using SMS to get their messages right in front of their audience’s eyeballs.
Here’s a sample of the industries that MTA serves:
- Enterprise businesses
- Coaches
- Retail
- Churches
- Non-profits
- Education
- Healthcare
- Government
- Real estate
- Transportation
- Manufacturing
- Banking
- Construction
- Restaurants
What are some of the things MTA customers say?
Jessica Craven:

Mobile Text Alerts is the only platform that has never let me down in any way. The interface is very intuitive and easy to use, but it is also richly featured. That’s a hard balance to strike, but MTA pulls it off with ease. … Long story short, your company is doing a superb job with this platform, and I am a very happy customer. I look forward to renewing my plan for many years to come.

Here are some answers to other questions you may have regarding SMS marketing.
What is SMS marketing?
SMS marketing is the process by which a business or organization uses texting to help accomplish its marketing goals.
This would include sending out text promotions, follow-ups, check-ins, and any other messaging within the realm of marketing.
Is SMS marketing legal?
Yes! SMS marketing is certainly legal.
You just need to make sure to abide by the following:
- Don’t “randomly dial” phone numbers—use a legitimate list as you go about your texting efforts
- Send texts at a reasonable hour of the day (i.e. not early morning or late at night), in the local time of each recipient
- Make sure to respect opt-outs—if the user replies STOP to your message, the platform handles this automatically for you
How do I make sure my text messages are compliant with carrier regulations?
The guidelines in the bullet list below will help ensure that your messages are successfully delivered by the mobile carriers and aren’t filtered out as spam or rejected as non-compliant traffic.
- Register your brand—Mobile Text Alerts will provide you with an easy form you can fill out (and we’ll submit it for you), to get your brand registered with the mobile carriers
- Mention your company/organization’s name in every text—this ensures clarity in your messages
- Include opt-out instructions in every text—these instructions can be as simple as “Text STOP to stop”
- Don’t include links created from public URL shorteners such as Bitly or TinyURL
- You can, however, use brand-specific URL shorteners
- You’ll get access to use Mobile Text Alerts’ own branded URL shortener (with the option to add on your own domain as well), so you can still shorten your links for your texts
- Don’t send messages with content that mobile carriers deem “questionable”—this would include content that explicitly mentions any of the following…
- SHAFT (which stands for sex, hate, alcohol, firearms, and tobacco)—messages that mention legal cannabis and CBD fall under this category
- Loans
- Questionable financial practices (even if these practices are technically legal)
- Gambling
- Anything illegal
Go ahead and try it for yourself—so you can start reaching more people now.
