Tatango

Young Entrepreneur recently interviewed the CEO of Tatango, a start-up text-messaging service that launched in 2007. For some club owners, text-messaging services have provided significant advantages as far as marketing/promotions and Tantango is looking to join the fray. In the interview, CEO Derek Johnson boasts having already helped send “15 million text messages to a wide variety of groups, including college clubs, religious organizations, non-profit associations, athletic teams and businesses since the launch.” With an easy-to-use interface and unlimited mass-texting at a monthly cost, Tatango might be a good solution for club owners who like to keep it simple.

Competitors like FireText are much more geared to the nightlife scene. Their products include Text to Screen, Bulk Text Messaging to customers, and Private Flirt Messaging - services that the tech saavy club owners could get behind.
