To text or not to text...

That is the question! Is texting the new e-mail? I have quite a few of my clients and vendors that text me on a regular basis and I want to hear from all of you, do you think it is okay? I have an opinion on this subject, but I will keep it to myself for now.

Just a few suggestions IF you are a texter!

1. IMO, you shouldn't shorthand your texts. A lot of clients/ vendors are not of the generation to send or receive texts so saying IMO, LOL, BRB is a foreign language.

2. If you are going to send a text, you should first introduce yourself. I can't tell you how many times I have received texts and I have no idea who you are.

3. As a vendor, don't return a call with a text. If they wanted a text, they would have sent you one first.

4. Ask before you text. For some, texts are an additional fee.

Now, I want to hear from all of you.
