The Times Free Press's Dave Flessner sat down with Text Request co-founders to talk about where the company's come from since our 2014 launch.
On average, 99% of texts are read, compared to only 15% of emails, and 20% or less of phone calls are answered. Yet businesses are only beginning to grasp the potential of texting.
Quotable:
CTO and co-founder Rob Reagan says enabling businesses to text using their landline phone numbers "is like putting wheels on a suit case. It was an obvious idea hiding in plain sight that hadn't been well implemented yet."
On a typical day, nearly 8,000 people login to use Text Request's text messaging software, and growth is expected to increase.
