Press Release: “Text Friendly Boulder Business” Campaign

(Boulder, CO)- Boulder based TextUs.Biz has launched a new service that enables local businesses to use their existing business phone number/landline to send and receive text messages to and from their customers, from a computer. In an effort to make Boulder, CO the first “Text Friendly” business community on the planet, this service is currently available exclusively to Boulder based businesses. As an added bonus, TextUs.Biz is inviting up to one hundred Boulder businesses to use the service for FREE for three months, as part of its “Text Friendly Boulder Business” campaign.

TextUs.Biz is convenient for customers as it allows people to make inquiries in the method they most prefer: text messaging.

For local companies, becoming a “Text Friendly” business is simple and easy. Just visit TextUs.Biz/Boulder and request an invitation. Participating businesses in the “Text Friendly Boulder Business” launch will receive:
