About Textual

Text message is the universal channel, and it is quickly evolving into a commerce channel. 🎉

WHAT IS TEXTUAL?

The vision for a Shop by Text platform was born from 15 years of experience driving performance marketing, and building technology for an eCommerce company. The idea is to create a novel user experience and to stay ahead of the competition in terms of user engagement. Blu brought years of eCommerce experience, and Dom brought his data platform experience. Together they are building a platform, a team, and a dream. For both founders, the User comes first.

The Shop by Text platform gives ecommerce companies, merchants, brands, schools or any business the ability to send out Text message shopping campaigns through an enterprise tool, which includes campaign management, product management, payment processing and management dashboards.
