Send a Birthday Reminder

If their birthday is coming up, you can use this day to wish them an early happy birthday or remind them you remember.It's the oldest trick in the book!

Offer Support

You never know when somebody needs help or support so don't hesitate to offer support. You can send a text like "Hi, texting you to know how have you been. Also wanted to let you know that if you need any help or support, I'm here."

Don't Text, Just Reflect
