This document provides tips and ideas for using text message marketing for a barber shop. Some key points include: 1) Text message marketing allows businesses to send permission-based text messages to opt-in customers to promote products and services. 2) Common uses include appointment reminders to reduce no-shows, mobile coupons, and sending tips or notifications about new offerings. 3) Successful text campaigns get customers to opt-in by advertising a keyword or short code on marketing materials and online sign-up forms.
