Our CEO, Derek Johnson was sent the message below from a group using one of our competitors, which we labeled the “Other Guy”. When he replied STOP and HELP to opt-out of the group, nothing happened… To show you the difference, Derek responded STOP after receiving a group message from Tatango. This is an example of the difference a user experiences when using a service like Tatango that uses SMPP messaging, compared to the “other guy” using SMTP messaging. Which experience do you want your members to have?

I graduated from Western Washington University with a B.A. in Recreation and continue to live in Bellingham and am enjoying it as a resident and not a college student.  My many years of experience in customer service and sales will make myself a great asset to Tatango. I am interested in photography, being outdoors, social media and getting to know the Tatango crew.

Congratulations to Tatango’s first payee, Pastor Chris of the Rescue Youth Church in Beaumont, Texas who just received his $20 check from our new, simple and easy-to-use Referral Program!

“I will tell you this. Other referral programs got on my nerves because if the person didn’t immediately click to buy something, and clicked to get other info or something, then decided to buy, I wouldn’t get the credit for it. So as long as we get the credit for the people we send your way, I love it. Easy money for me.” - Chris

To learn more, check out your Referral Page after logging in to your Tatango account: http://tatango.com/referrals.

Put on your dancing shoes - it’s time to party! The highly anticipated Tatango referral program is here, which means extra money in your pocket before the holidays.

Here’s how it works - We provide every Tatango account with a unique referral link, which can be shared via email, Facebook, Twitter, website, etc. For every person that creates an account and purchases a plan using your unique referral link, you’ll receive a check in the mail for $20 bucks (in just 5-7 business days!). It’s as simple as that.

To get started with our new referral program, simply log into your account and select the “Refer Tatango” tab. From there, you can begin sharing your link and begin making money for every person that signs up for Tatango using your link.

Enjoy everyone, this has been a long time in the making!

More kudos for Tatango! This blog post is a great, quick overview of the benefits of group SMS.

It also summarizes creative uses for upcoming 2010 campaigns. For instance, instead of potential voters passing by an important message in already overloaded inboxes, the chances are much higher that they’ll read the message if it’s sent via texting. This can be an advantageous avenue also if there are deadlines that need to be met, as texting offers instant connection, a potentially wider reader base, and simple, one-touch response from those receiving your message. Text messaging can also influence debates on talk radio shows, and bring more people to cast their votes.

Three services were researched and compared, and Tatango was heralded as the most efficient, “simple and affordable,” easy-to-use group messaging solution!
