Ladies, We'll Contact You, Don't Contact Us.
In all my years in this business I have NEVER contacted a client first unless I have been asked to do so or told it was okay. Aside from appearing desperate, it is completely unprofessional in my opinion.
I don't mind getting messages on my hobby phone but I keep it off a lot. All I will say is don't complain if I see about your specials a few days later.
I do not have SO issue but I do get texts on and off. Bothersome anyways.
