Business tap into texting

THE old-fashioned courtesy call to remind you of an upcoming doctor’s appointment or visit to the beauty salon could become a thing of the past with a growing number of Tasmanian businesses sending text messages instead.

Hobart hairdressers, car dealerships, pubs, doctors, dentists, real estate agents and beauty therapists are among those discovering that popular mobile phone messaging is a quick, convenient and cost-saving way to communicate with customers.

Bring it on.  I still can’t book a damn hair appointment by text here in the UK.  What an arse that is.  Well, the hairdresser doesn’t even have a website, let alone an email.  I think we’ve got quite a while to go before a lot of businesses actually FINALLY make use of texting.
