Thanksgiving is a time to join together with our loved ones and count our blessings, from good health to pumpkin pie.
Unfortunately, it would be difficult to gather all of your family and friends at the Thanksgiving table – so what’s the next best thing? That’s simple: send a quick text expressing your gratitude to those who can’t make it.
If you’re a business owner, the same holds true for contacting your colleagues and customers. Sending them a simple text is a great way to offer special promotions, promote your business and show your thanks.
