What is a Tap-to-Share & Text Link?
A Tap-to-Share and text link is a link that when tapped from a mobile device, opens a pre-filled text message with no assigned contact. Only the message body is populated.
This unique functionality allows marketers to prepare a message that subscribers can easily share and send to their friends and family. Marketers should include their opt-in link in the pre-populated message. Subscribers simply tap on the link, add contacts, and send the text message. Through this strategy, existing subscribers can entice their friends and family to opt into your text service—serving as brand advocates and assisting in list growth.
The best way to entice subscribers to send your shareable text messages is by holding a giveaway.

Convenient for Existing Subscribers
With our tap-to-share and text link technology on mobile, existing subscribers simply tap the link within your text campaign that loads a pre-populated text message on their device. Then, they add their contacts to share the message with and tap “send” to entice others to sign up for your text club or to follow your social media pages. This is not only a great way to grow your text list but also to boost social media followers.
