What small businesses actually text
Most sites need 5–15 texts a day, not a campaign engine. These four cover nearly everyone.
Order alerts
"Your order is confirmed / ready / shipped." Cuts the where-is-my-order calls and the no-shows at pickup.
Form leads
A lead that gets a text back in 60 seconds converts; one that waits for tomorrow's inbox check does not. Alert yourself or your sales staff the second the form is submitted.
Booking reminders
"See you tomorrow at 2pm — reply C to confirm." The single highest-ROI text in existence for anyone who books appointments.
Staff alerts
New order, new lead, failed payment, low stock — route the events that need a human now to the human on duty.
