SMS Marketing

SMS text marketing is ideal for local and national retailers of all types wishing to promote products or services, provide purchase incentives, and increase customer loyalty and retention.

SMS (Short Messaging Service) is a method by which messages can be sent to a cell phone via another cell phone, a computer connected to the Internet, a regular land line, or via a handheld device such as a Blackberry. Text messaging, or “texting,” is a newly growing form of communication for use on consumer cell phones and for professionals with handheld data phones.

SMS also has its place in the field of marketing. Television shows have hosted voting polls via text messaging and various commercials now offer downloadable music through cell phones simply by texting a phrase to their short code number. Google now has a messaging service where texting “Google,” can offer you directions, calculations, stock tips, and answers to trivia.

The world of SMS is unlimited in respects to communication. It can be used to tell a loved one that you are in a meeting, or it can allow you to reach 10’s of thousands of people with your ad campaign. Mobile marketing is a relatively new and unchartered territory for most, but those who have benefited from its power first hand, know how effective it is. The possibilities are limitless.
