Tips for Text Message Marketing Text message marketing is the act of delivering messages, coupons, promotions, events and other pertinent information to consumers through text message. In a way, it can be considered as the future of marketing. And why is this so? Simply put, text message marketing is a faster, more direct and affordable means of reaching out to your prospective consumers. In fact, it has proven to be quite effective in increasing sales and profits for many companies in different industries. But what is SMS, and how does it compare to other forms of marketing? If you are still wondering what all is involved in SMS, then here are some things you need to know about. Basically, it is short for mass messaging, which is basically a means of sending short text messages to multiple persons at a time. In this regard, it can be compared to conventional “land-line” phone service, which allows you to call multiple people at once. Now that you know what SMS is, what exactly is it used for? Well, there are various ways through which you can use text message marketing, which can include sending coupons and promotional offers to consumers or informing subscribers about sales and promos. It can also involve sending out short notices to friends and acquaintances about company activities and new products. In addition, it can also be used in promoting seminars, product launches, and lectures. However, one of the most common uses of SMS is in marketing promotions, which can be done via text message marketing. So now that we know what SMS is, what can it do to help your business? Well, the first thing to note is that this form of marketing does not require you to have your own phone lines or even a computer. You need only to have an Internet connection and a device that can receive and send SMS. As such, you don’t have to worry about capital expenditure since you don’t have to purchase equipment like telephones or fax machines. Basically, you only need to pay for the number of messages you use in a year. The next thing to note is that your SMS communication can be integrated with your direct line marketing strategy. If you have a toll free customer service line, you can use it to broadcast messages as well. The beauty of this is that you will be able to save money on communications costs. Indeed, SMS is just another component of a comprehensive mobile marketing strategy. Apart from that, you can also take advantage of SMS messaging by including it in your bed bath and shower marketing campaign. Bed bath and shower deals are becoming extremely popular nowadays. With so many people showering at different times of the day, you can easily reach out to your target audience using a combined campaign. In this case, you can create messages regarding products, promotions, discounts, contests and other things related to baths. When your recipients get a message from you related to bathing, they may then consider it worthy of a future visit from you. Text message marketing allows you to combine the benefits of direct mails and SMS promotions. If you choose to do so, you will be able to attract more customers through the promotion of your offers and you will be able to achieve higher ROI than with the traditional direct mails campaigns. Of course, you still need to focus on customer engagement to ensure that you achieve high return on investments. You will also be able to make good use of your mobile communication device as part of your customer engagement efforts through SMS-based promotions. There are so many other ways to integrate text messaging into your marketing campaigns. These include: using short code based advertising campaigns, combining your mobile device with direct mails and SMS messaging, using the services of third party service providers for messaging, and including voice broadcasting in your campaigns. You should also make sure that your mobile platform is compatible with some of the most popular messaging applications such as: iKobo, Mobite, and Jellymoon. This way, you will be able to send quality messages to the right people at the right time.
