I am getting sick and tired of seeing campaigns put together but 3 year olds from their back bedroom. Not understanding how to create the correct instructions and not knowing how to explain to the client how best to handle the responses. Although even a 3 year old could surely explain that when you get an enquiry you reply to it - so Holmes Place must take some blame for this! There are clearly many mobile marketing/solutions companies that need to sort themselves out as they're giving us all a bad name and will make many people see ads like this in the future and ignore them because "well it never worked last time I tried responding to one". sort it!! steve/itagg what the hell does INFO + BANK mean? text these two words seperated by a plus symbol, or text the word info followed by a space then the word bank. or what!?
