Best Mobile SMS Text Marketing Service

Aaron, what led you to notice Lime and Avid? I would love to know.

Thanks

At least up until recently they were offering packages starting at $149/month (almost 6000 credits) with additional texts at $0.025. You also would need to put down a $149 deposit credited towards the 7th month of service. I think they might have some pricing changes coming up though.

You can still access their $300 per month model as well (which may be the $600 model you were referring to, they charged $600 to start) and that package has additional texts priced at $0.015 and includes nearly 20,000 messages.

Hi Rank on Top,

I would disagree with you that Lime is expensive. You have to take into account all the features you get with Lime's dashboard. Sure there are some free services out there that might work for a few people some of the time. But what if you are running a real SMS business for clients and need to offer all the features, maintain databases of hundreds and thousands on customer lists and send true text blasts that are sent in seconds not minutes or hours and definitely not via smtp which might get blocked or not be able to track delivery of messages for your clients.

8 months ago I started in SMS and looked at 30+ platfroms before deciding to go with Lime. There is a lot of hype and trash out there regarding SMS companies and the features, support, and delivery they offer. I encourage everyone to definitely do their homework before making your SMS decision. Everyone has different needs but if you are serious about building a business for the long term you need a great product, better, support, and the best pricing. That is what Lime offers.

You can now start with Lime as low as $147 per month. This is for full access to the dashboard and 5000 texts & additional texts at .019. Sell one of your clients a 1000 text package with full access to the platform and then the next 4 you sell are pure profit. Build your base of clients and work your way up to larger and better priced packages as you need them. The next package is $297mo for 15k texts & .015 for additional texts. Above that is $497mo for 30k texts and .01 for additional texts. When you get into large volumes of texts you can bulk buy as low as .005. Lime also only charges for outgoing texts and those coming in are free.

Both of the 2 larger packages also include a full billing/invoice system and lets you assign sales agents and even resellers to your platform. This is a true white label setup with full branding for you and even branding for your resellers. The platform also has a full knowledgebase of video and pdf tutorials for your clients when they need help after accessing their dashboards.

One of Lime's newest features are their very professional marketing materials that you can provide to your clients including image artwork table tents, signs, and even videos. When you combine that with their new online training program with instructions and quizzes for not only use of this powerful platform but also how to effectively present and sell this product to your local businesses you have a winning combination. Oh and don't forget exclusive access to the private forum for white label clients to get tips and advice of whats working with other clients across the country and Canada too. That's right the 71441 short code works in Canada as well as the US. The only way Lime is successful is if you are successful.

You can take the Lime platform for a free text drive in my signature below. If you only have a few clients that need a powerful text platform like this and you don't want to do a full white label program but just be a reseller then send me a pm.

So if you want to offer your clients, set and forget scheduled text blasts, mobile image coupons, qr codes (4 sizes & 12 colors), mobile landing pages, text auto responder, text to win sweepstakes, text polling, text questionnaires, mobile websites(another brand new feature) have everything Facebook and Twitter integrated, provide tracking reports on multiple items from opt ins to mobile coupons sent, viewed, and redeemed, and then be able to send invoices with easy online branded invoices that are Paypal or Authorize.net connected, get great support, and sleep peacefully at night knowing you are with a solid and stable company that will be here for years to come that doesn't sell against you in the retail market, that not only backs up its product but continues to enhance and improve it then LIME is for you. All of this with great support and the best pricing is why I am even more happy today with my decision 8 months ago to start with Lime. If you have any specific Lime or SMS questions feel free to send me a pm. So for the complete package compare apples with apples and Lime will come out on top. Now get out there and make some money!!!

Is is White Labeled? Or is their Enterprise Package only White Label?

Thanks for recommending

TXT180 is a very bare bones SMS only platform. We were involved in their Beta Test. Their Customer Service is good but the platform is extremely basic and very limited on features when compared to other Platforms.

I just checked out Txt180 and they look pretty decent, just wish there was a simple backend like a WP plugin to use, prices a good though.

I 2nd that. Especially since I live in San Diego and they are located in Orange County. I could always get a hold of somebody so I believe you could file this under "You get what you pay for"

I've used Trumpia as a private label along with their unlimited keyword package... was a great deal and worked fine.

I think they have a great look if you're a consultant and want a hands off approach with your clients.

Also, for my own sites... I love Chads SMS WP plugin. Nice and easy for my campaigns.
