What we built

Lead generation that meets people
where they already are: their phone.

Social engagement is rented. Your contact list is owned. Txtify gave small businesses the fastest path from one to the other.

📱

Mobile-first microsites

Branded lead-capture pages that feel native on every phone — designed for the tap, not the desktop.

🧠

Smart surveys

Capture contact info while learning what your audience actually wants — every signup tells a story.

⚡

Launch in minutes

No code. No web developer. A small business goes from idea to live, branded lead form before lunch.

🔁

Social → owned channels

Turn followers and digital engagement into email and SMS relationships you control — and revenue you can measure.

The story

Built fast. Built right.
Built to be acquired.

  1. Social reach isn't a customer list

    Small businesses were great at earning followers and terrible at converting them. Txtify set out to close that gap with mobile-first capture.

  2. Microsites & surveys, no code

    Branded, mobile-optimized lead generation any business could spin up in minutes — no developers, no friction.

  3. Acquired by Constant Contact

    Constant Contact acquired the business of Txtify Technologies to bring mobile-first lead generation to millions of small businesses.

  4. Mission accomplished

    The founders joined Constant Contact to transfer and integrate Txtify's technology with email, SMS, social ads, and events at serious scale. Job done — they've since moved on to new horizons.

Our acquisition of Txtify Technologies' business enables us to deliver value to mobile-first and social-first entrepreneurs by empowering them to own their audience on social media and turn a follower list into a marketing list.
