Show Notes

“We’ve literally trademarked the term “word of thumb” advertising, that’s what we call our share feature”.  

This week's episode is full of energy as Emily talks with Sara Castillo, Co-Founder and President of TapOnIt. Sara oversees and manages communication between brands and consumers through TapOnIt. Her unique background has allowed her to become an expert in driving traffic and sales into small businesses in the most beneficial way possible. Focused on the customer experience, Sara's strengths lie in building relationships between consumers and businesses, creating loyalty and generating excitement for TapOnIt across all of the markets. Since co-founding the company with her sister, Katie Wilson, in 2015, TapOnIt has evolved into a major player in SMS/MMS consumer engagement.

Emily and Sara discuss how text messaging is the most widely used app on a smartphone, how texting is the fastest way to get a hold of somebody, and how businesses can almost guarantee their text will be seen versus traditional fragmented advertising methods.
