If you only plan to send out blasts at specific times of the year you can leave it turned off 'til needed. </p> <p> Tip: GoldSMS Blast can be used in conjunction with GoldMine's Automated Processes module to react to fast-changing urgent information, like financial or mortgage market fluctuations. Or you could integrate Texting into a series of escalating reminders, as might be used in medical/dental scheduling. </p> </div>
