The Falmouth Chamber of Commerce recently played host to Dan Parker the winner of the Cornwall young person of the year 2011 award. Dan , co-founder of Firetext provided an interesting and stimulating presentation to the membership about SMS texting can used as highly effective business tool for business. SMS texting offers a fast and effective solution to businesses wishing to develop their client base to the maximum in both marketing, customer service and a whole range of business activities.

Dan and his company Firetext have helped many businesses utilise SMS technology throughout Cornwall and beyond, in a whole host of business activities, ranging from GP and dentist surgeries sending reminders to patients about forth coming appointments, retailers providing customer after sales service, to sales teams notifying clients of new promotions and bargain offers. The uses to which SMS texting can be put to use seem to be almost limitless and Dan inspired in all the members present all sorts of ideas as to how they might be able to make use of the technology.
