DENVER – Local design and marketing agency Honest Bros. launched a new text message program this month textvsticket.com. More than 1000 Denverites have already subscribed. Drivers can tailor text messages to their needs – from what days to be alerted and what time of day – either 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. Honest Bros. partnered with Denver‐based ID345 to create the program.

 

“There is nothing more frustrating to start or end your day with one of those yellow envelopes sticking out of your car door,” said Eric Hines, founder of Honest Bros. “I just wish we would have thought of this idea earlier – we all would be a few hundred dollars richer.”

 

The city’s street sweeping program started April 1 and continues through November. More than 100,000 tickets were issued last year to drivers in the way of sweepers.

 

Although the current program is only available to Denverites, Hines said the back‐end programming and support is present to expand into other cities around the country. With those capabilities in mind, Hines said he sees great business potential with the program, as sponsorship of the text messages is available.

 

“It’s more than just a way to remind people or advertising, it’s a way of thinking that allows us to be set apart from other creative’s in a diverse economy” Hines said.
