Text Message Marketing for Small Businesses: How to Use Gmail to Send Text Campaigns

Did you know you can create and manage text message marketing campaigns using Gmail?

MailKing by cloudHQ adds a powerful suite of marketing tools to your Gmail account, now including text message marketing for small business:

  • Send mass texts from your Gmail email
  • Add URL links and track the click-through rate
  • Send images
  • Have text replies routed back to your Gmail inbox
  • Create a dedicated U.S. or Canadian phone number just for your text campaigns.
  • Respond to a text reply from your dedicated phone number—but actually write your messages and send them from Gmail
  • Archive all your text messages in your Gmail sent folder
  • Review text performance with an always-up-to date Google Sheets report

It’s a simple, easy way to keep your list of customers, clients, or students up to date about last-minute date changes, updates, or cancellations.

Here’s how to install and use MailKing for text message marketing. It’s free to get started, and the process only takes a few minutes.
