The pace is quickening as we all move towards the holiday season and there still seem to be 101 things that need to be done. If you’ve not sent your Christmas cards yet, either on behalf of your business or your personal cards, why not send an SMS instead.

It’s cheaper, quicker and more likely to be read.

Simply load up your contacts into Web SMS and use the Group Send feature. Or use the Schedule Send feature to time the delivery. If you’ve got staff working at the weekend or on Christmas day itself why not send them a quick thank you.

Of if you use our Email SMS service, browse through your contact list and send an SMS to everyone you’d have sent a card to.

That’s one more thing ticked off the To Do list – pass me a mince pie!

The new version of Esendex’s Web SMS tool is due for Beta release early next year. This new version is based on extensive feedback from customers and will provide a much simpler interface.

It also builds on the cleaner site design of http://www.esendex.co.uk/ to deliver a better aesthetic experience.

The new version will be released in stages and the first will focus on sending messages and the “Upload and Send” facility. If you’re interested in getting involved at an early stage, particularly if you are a regular user of the Upload and Send feature, then please let your account manager know.

The “classic” version will of course still be available and will remain the default interface for the time being.
