Thinking about sending texts to your customers in 2026 as a small business? Watch this episode first!

This week on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing text (SMS) marketing. We talk in depth about how to get started with text marketing, building a text list, and best practices.

Part of our discussion explores the intimacy of text communication, which is why this week’s MARKETING HOT TAKE is: it’s very easy to become spam when using text marketing. Disagree? Let us know in the comments.
