Texting your golfers is legitimate marketing with real rules around it. The parts that are easy to get wrong are handled by default rather than left to whoever is running the pro shop that day.
Anyone who replies STOP is suppressed immediately and permanently, across every campaign. Queued messages to that number are dropped rather than delivered. They can text START to come back, and nobody has to remember to do anything.
Texts only go out inside the send window you set. Anything that would land outside it is skipped rather than delivered late, so a twilight group finishing at ten never hears from the patio at ten.
