Why Text Message Marketing is so Effective Today

There are current 3.6 billion active mobile phone users in the world today, and over 78% of those users utilize SMS text messaging. Of those users, at least 55% use text messaging to communicate with clients, customers and partners. On average, over 90% of all mobile text messages are read within 5 minutes whereas the average time it takes to read a comparable email is 48 hours.

The statistics tell the story: With more than 2.8 billion users today, greater than 9 out of 10 messages read, and the average read time within 5 minutes of receiving a SMS text message - it is pretty simple to see why text message advertising is such a popular and effective marketing tool for your business.

Why Your Customers Benefit from Text Marketing

As opposed to email marketing, mobile text marketing requires that each user opt-in to your text marketing campaign before receiving a SMS text message from you. As a result, you will only be sending your text messages to customers that have confirmed they want to subscribe to receive them from you. When a customer wants to stop receiving your mobile text messages, he or she can unsubscribe by simply sending an "opt out" message to remove himself or herself from receiving any future text messages.

Easy, Effective, and Expeditious describes why a text message is so well received. It has become one of the best ways to market a product, brand, service, event, promotion, discounts offers, or virtually anything else to increase your company's revenues.
