Why use SMS Marketing?
SMS Marketing has exploded in popularity across the UK . There are a number of reasons for this:
- SMS marketing is cost-effective
A text message costs pennies, a fraction of the price of a phone call. Because texts can be sent out in bulk, minimum resources are required to communicate with your customers.
- SMS marketing is immediate
People carry their mobile phones with them almost everywhere, so will receive your message in seconds.
- SMS marketing is high reach
There are about seven times more mobile phones in the world than there are internet access points.
- SMS marketing is responsive
SMS is a personal means of communication, there is a high level of attention for any text message received. By their nature, texts have to brief, so the entire message is usually read. A message has to be 'opened' even to be deleted. These factors induce an excellent response rate to a call to action.
- SMS marketing is personal and discreet
Because messages are sent to individual mobile phones, they are seen as being aimed at that specific individual. Even bulk messages can be customised thanks to our mail-merge application. A one-to-one relationship between business and client is therefore created. SMS marketing is direct and private.
