What is a text message reminder?

Text message reminders are the SMS messages that businesses send to their customers for reminding them of scheduled appointments, events, sales, etc.

Let's suppose you run a salon, and if you have an appointment fixed with your client for a specific day, you can text them a day or a few hours before the arranged time to confirm if they will come over.

Similarly, if you have an event coming up, you can remind your customers to purchase tickets before they are all sold out. Such messages prove to be really helpful while increasing the chances of significant business for you.

You can always use these text messages to remind your customers of the important things!
