The Phone Marketing Overview provides general and WAVV subscription information for using PropertyRadar phone marketing tools. One of the actions available with WAVV Messenger, and Bundle subscriptions, is to Send Text Messages.
Text messaging only works with mobile phone numbers, and with PropertyRadar you can filter your Lists according to contacts with mobile numbers. Text marketing is only available to those that have consented to receiving texts.
Using the WAVV Messenger with PropertyRadar, you can send both one-on-one texts, and bulk text messages. Bulk messaging allows you to send one message to multiple contacts, and you can even personalize bulk messages for each contact. By personalizing your text message you can communicate one-on-one with contacts.
First set up WAVV Messenger for your business needs, then you can use PropertyRadar with WAVV Messenger to connect with prospects.
