We are a winery but I see you cannot participate in the SMS marketing if it talks about alcohol. Just wanted to verify that.

Hello @donodalcielo ,

 

SMS tends to be more prohibitive and strict with what's allowed in its content, compared to email and social media. In order to be compliant with SHAFT guidelines and other expectations of CTIA, alcohol is considered prohibited content for SMS marketing through us.

 

For more info and relevant links, make sure to check out our Guidelines for using SMS marketing through Constant Contact.

If you've signed up and been charged for SMS already, @donodalcielo , then we can assist with getting the addon removed from your account and get you credited. For further assistance in this regard:

  • Call our Billing team, and request the SMS addon be removed and initial payment credited to your account
  • Or reply to the automated @ mention email you received from my responses, so we can pass the email case along to our Billing team to address.
