If this is the place to plug then here's mine:
We've recently launched a brand new text marketing service called www.TextStart.com and we're giving away free accounts to any UK based businesses. No set-up fees, no monthly fees, free inbound keyword, free directory ad on our website and even a few free credits to help get you started.
TextStart uses the short-code SMS system to help you build and use your own private list of interested customers - both existing loyal customers and brand new ones too.
Register for your FREE TextStart account and we'll provide you with a FREE keyword of your
choosing. You simply promote this keyword to your customers and they can join your TextStart list by sending it to 60066 - its fully automated so there's no admin or paperwork for you to do.
ex. Gina's Hairdressers chooses the keyword GINA and promotes it to all their regular clients. Customers text 'START GINA' and send it 60066 - paying just their normal message rate - and are automatically added to Gina's private customer list. Gina's also collect numbers on their comment cards and ask new customers if they'd like to add their number too. Over a few weeks Gina's collects 100 names on their list. The next time they have a slow day they send out a message to their list and fill the empty chairs.
It costs absolutely nothing to create a TextStart account and start building your list today - we'll even help advertise your business - and your list - through our site and in ongoing promotions. Customers can even sign-up for your list online at textstart.com.
All you pay for are the messages you send out - as and when you want. You can send 100 messages for just £10 + VAT and we'll even give you some free messages to help get you started.
Any questions just drop me an email mark@textstart.com .
Thanks

Hi All...
I would like to thank Mark at www.textstart.com
What a 'great' service - there are absolutely loads of ways you can use this service.
for example:
We have just gone live with a competition on our website on the homepage - www.intheheartofbrighton.co.uk
Numbers will be selected at random at the end of each month & the winners last 3 digits of their mobile will be posted on our website... with details of how to claim and where to pickup their prize.
This will help to bring people back to our website, etc....
We have more geat ideas on how to use the service from www.textstart.com and will be putting them live in due course.
thanks again Mark... well done
cheers
Phil
