Tell the club something, once, without annoying anyone

Email goes to members who typed an address when they joined and then confirmed it from a link we sent them. Nobody else gets email. You write a subject and a message of up to 5,000 characters. The footer tells them why they are getting it and gives the link to stop.

On Local Favourite your texting number comes with the plan at no extra charge. It is set up for you when the plan starts and shows on the Campaigns page after "Your texts go from"; if the page shows Get my sending number instead, press it once. From then on your texts go from that number, so a reply or a STOP comes to your shop and no one else. A text body is up to 300 characters; the message that lands reads your shop name, a colon, your words, then "Opt out:" and the link. If the words run long the words are trimmed, never the link.

Each recipient is one campaign message against your monthly allowance. The whole send is reserved before anything goes out, so a campaign either fits in this month's allowance or is held back with a note of what you have used. Allowances reset on the first of the month, Melbourne time.

There is no scheduling, no segments, no personalisation fields, and no automated message of any kind: no birthday text, no win-back, no reminder. Nothing goes out unless you press Send now. It is one message to the club, now. That is the right shape for a shop with a few hundred regulars and a quiet Tuesday to fill.

The campaign shows as sent with the number delivered. Members who opted out before the send are skipped. Anyone who presses their opt-out link or replies STOP after it is skipped from the next one.
