How to advertise your organization effectively
One of the major marketing issues in organizations today is how to get their message directly to their target market for the least amount of money and time. I have found the best way to do just that!
For as long as most of us remember, ads in magazines, newspapers and on television were the best ways to advertise. The internet slowly killed print advertising as it put newspapers and magazines out of business.
The advent of Netflix and the DVR have lowered the reach of television ads as people are not watching live television as much anymore. If given the option, most people will change the channel or fast-forward through commercials. Buying the time slots for a commercial costs enough but then you have to spend even more money on producing the commercials.
Having a Facebook page or a website used to be enough to keep people informed about what an organization was doing. But that too is changing. Recently Facebook changed their algorithm so that people only see the profiles and pages that they interact with the most. That means that your message is not being seen by every person who likes your page anymore. Now only about 30% of your followers are seeing your posts.
But what if you could be sure you had the attention of your followers?
What if you knew that your message was delivered to your target market?
What if you could send a message directly to everyone who is a part of your organization, or a customer of your business, or a member of your church?
Well, you can do exactly that!!
Sentext Solutions offers text message marketing, a subscription service to send out scheduled mass text messages to everyone on your list, which they subscribe to themselves by texting your keywords to 51660.
For an example, on your cell phone right now simply text BONE to 51660. It will ask you if you want to subscribe to that list and you simply say yes. Some of our clients also take advantage of our birthday club which lets you give them a special gift on their birthday.
Sentext provides all of the artwork for you. I can send you a few examples if you like, or you can see some on my LinkedIn profile. Any of those ads that I post, free to subscribe to their lists so you can see exactly how it works.
We’ll work with you on the keywords you choose, artwork, and the signage. The artwork also has the UPC code on it which can be scanned by a cell phones to subscribe people instantly instead of texting in the keywords.
You’ll be able to set up your messages online through our website, or I can do it for you as well. In your account, you’d be able to see how many people are subscribed to your list and schedule your messages to be sent.
We offer several different very reasonable monthly options for messages, depending upon how many messages you want to send every month. There is a one-time sign up fee to cover the cost of the artwork & signage. They will just charge debit/credit card every month for the monthly fee. [Speaking of which, if you need to accept credit card payments at your business, I also represent iPayment Processing, a merchant services company. iPayment and Sentext Solutions are not affiliated, I just work for both of them. Lol. iPayment is so sure it can save you money on your credit card processing fees, you’ll get $500 if they cannot!]
Anyway, before I digress, I know that text marketing works because I used it in a former position I held managing a club. We had a Facebook group & a newsletter we mailed but I found in talking to my membership that they had simply forgotten about an event we had scheduled and they asked that I start texting them a reminder. So I did that on my own phone, and it really made a difference in the turnout for our events, meetings, and specials. When their dues came up each year, I’d text a reminder to those who hadn’t paid, and I had over 90% retention rate within the first month I did that. It really made a difference.
I hope that this helped explain a few things about the text marketing. It’s the most affordable, effective and efficient way to advertise.
I would love the opportunity to talk with you more to see what you’re looking for in terms of marketing & advertising for your business. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you. I have worked in business management and marketing for almost 20 years, so I will be happy to help however I can so get in touch with me at jodijones@sentextsolutuons.com, or text me!
Thanks so much for your time! Have a great weekend!

Extremely Ineffective Daily Affirmations
Extremely Ineffective Daily Affirmations
I have the power to channel my imagination into ever soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia.
I assume full responsibility for my actions, except the ones that are someone else's fault.
I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself. Unless, of course, I want to stay employed.
In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.
Having control over myself is nearly as good as having control over others.
My intuition nearly makes up for my lack of good judgment.
I can change any thought that hurts into a reality that hurts even more.
I honor my personality flaws, for without them I would have no personality at all.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.
I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain.
As I learn the innermost secrets of the people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet.
When someone hurts me, forgiveness is cheaper than a lawsuit. But not nearly as gratifying.
The first step is to say nice things about myself. The second, to do nice things for myself. The third, to find someone to buy me nice things.
As I learn to trust the universe, I no longer need to carry a gun.
All of me is beautiful and valuable, even the ugly, stupid, and disgusting parts.
I am at one with my duality.
Blessed are the flexible, for they can tie themselves into knots.
I will strive to live each day as if it were my 50th birthday.
Only a lack of imagination saves me from immobilizing myself with imaginary fears.
Does my quiet self-pity get to you or should I move up to incessant nagging?
Today I will gladly share my experience and advice, for there are no sweeter words than "I told you so."
False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
A good scapegoat is nearly as welcome as a solution to the problem.
Just for today, I will not sit in my living room all day watching TV. Instead I will move my TV into the bedroom.
Who can I blame for my own problems? Give me just a minute... I'll find someone.
Why should I waste my time reliving the past when I can spend it worrying about the future?
The complete lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
Becoming aware of my character defects leads me to the next step, blaming my parents.
I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
The next time the universe knocks on my door, I will pretend I am not home.
My body is a temple. Do you want to come over for midnight mass?
To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting.
No way will I accept YES for an answer!
I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.
What If...
Something to think about....
What if Earth's population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people? With all the human ratios existing in the world still remaining – what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found:
57 would be Asian
21 would be European
14 would be from the Western Hemisphere
8 would be African
52 would be female
48 would be male
70 would be nonwhite
30 would be white
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59 percent of the entire world's wealth – all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death
1 would be pregnant
1 would have a college education
1 would own a computer
The following is an anonymous interpretation: Think of it this way…
If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group.
And if you have a good house, food, can read and have a computer, you are among the very elite.
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness... you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation...you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are fortunate, more than three billion people in the world can't.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still alive and still married... you are very rare, even in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful ... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them or even touch them on shoulder ... you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

"Still I Rise"
"Still I Rise"
Maya Angelo
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history's shame I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise I rise I rise.
