Text Message Marketing for Retail

Most everyone today uses a mobile device. Text message marketing should be an important part of your store's plan to attract customers and increase your store's foot traffic. As a retailer, you need to go "Mobile Now". Big retail chains are using mobile text messaging to push customers to their retail stores and offering them exclusive discounts by having their customers opt-in to their text message campaign.

The National Retail Federation recently published a guide about the uses of mobile marketing: "A recent study from Forrester Research, Shop.org and the National Retail Federation (NRF) found that 62% of retailers surveyed either have not begun planning a mobile marketing strategy or are still in early stages of development".
