SMS Marketing

[AB]

I am starting to get a few SMS's lately for people marketing their services.

I just got one now that said...

Hi, did I speak to you about 2 weeks ago regarding us building you a website for $799? Sorry I may have the wrong number, Thanks Simon from WEBSITE-URL

Surely this has to be illegal yes????

I think all you have to do is send them your credit card details, your address, your phone number and your Mother's maiden name as well as your bank details, along with a few grand to get the paper work done so they can release the money to you.
Easy as LOL

Hey who deleted my mate Tomys post?
I had a great marketing opportunity for him as well, just needed his personal details and he was set for life.

Yes AB, this type of sms marketing is illegal in australia and result in large fines for illegal marketing.

For sms marketing to be legal you have to "opt in" or agree to receive marketing messages. The sms must incude the company name at the begining of the message and an opt out message at the end of the message. ie "reply stop to opt out"
The company must have auto opt out ability.

An example message would read as
"Nissanpatrol.com.au log in & join our network for great information for Patrol owners. Reply STOP to opt out."

If done correctly sms marketing is a great way to increase sales and customer loyalty.
