Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I wanted to add an SMS list to promote our special event fundraiser with mission Costumes Community Causes. I had never used an SMS service before so did some research and found TextMagic. As a small startup business, I needed the most cost-effective solution to try. TextMagic was the perfect solution for us It is very easy to use and keep marketing costs low while reaching customers that do not want to read email and do not see our social media posts. It was really easy to add the collector to our GoDaddy website. My customers can add themselves or I can upload the signups from the events that we hold. I definitely recommend this if you want to add SMS text campaigns to your marketing.

It's not magic, but it works extremely well
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
When COVID hit, we wanted a way to schedule and send a daily COVID screening text to our staff. We used TextMagic to send these SMS' on a weekly basis. Setup was easy, the texts were delivered on time and the pricing was fair.
The only feature I wish they had was the ability to opt out of particular days, for instance, weekends, more efficiently. As of writing, I don't believe this is an option yet but I did suggest it as an option moving forward.
