I am currently trying a free version of text marketing thanks to Corey Smith check it out at www.Izigg.com/midtnmarketing. I feel once I letter my truck windows and a few lawn signs this could potentially bring in a lot of additional customers, we will see this spring. if you have tried this in the past give your input negative or positive, thanks.

There website is very confusing, but I have been looking into it.

I just want it to be simple, liek someone can text "my name" to 90210 and get a response automatically. It doesnt seem to be very well described as to what option to pick from there sight.

have you ever gotten anyone that text you wanting services but It turns out they gave you a fake address or there just fooling with you?

Never had that before. I always ask for an address and check it with googlemaps before I drive out to try to find it. Many times I'll even cross check it with the county property assessor's website to see the square footage.

Before spending money on that first your truck needs to be commercially insured.

correct, I will have to have commercial insurance which is only $9 more a month. wasn't aware of registering with the state dot, maybe its not even worth putting letters on my windows in that case? what was your fee to register your truck with the dot? if you don't mind me asking.

that will vary state by state. I think my tags for my truck in TN run $125/year however my out of control county commission just raised the local wheel tax by $25 so that'll increase to $150

ok, that price isn't to bad, mine will probably be around 150-175 roughly then. ill prolly hold off on that and just put out that many more lawn signs and other advertisements. iam so sick of getting nickeled and dimed to death. thanks.
