SMS Marketing For Your Business
SMS Marketing
SMS (text) marketing is MASSIVE and is being utilised by all successful companies and is only growing with new features and also in its potential reach to your clients!
Why is SMS Marketing so successful?
The main reason for such a high success rate with SMS marketing is because texts are the most responsive way to gain a customers attention, every time you hear your phone ding, you automatically look. At this point with technology, it’s almost human nature for people to look at their phone anytime it beeps or buzzes. So why don’t you beep or buzz someone’s phone because they will read it! I know this because I always get caught by Dominos Pizza’s ‘Two for Tuesday’ SMS deals, it works, but don’t just take my word for it here are some figures:
- In the UK, online retail sales grew 11.1% and sales via mobile devices grew year on year by 23.7% (IMRG)
- Average smartphone conversion rates are up 64% compared to the desktop conversion rates (CMS Report)
- Phone-based clicks per cost are 24% less than desktop and have a 40% higher click-through rate (Google)
- Response rates from SMS are 209% higher than phone calls, Facebook or email. 29% of targeted customers will respond to text messages and 47% of those responders will go on to make a purchase (Emarsys)
- 69% of users (18-39) start their online shopping from a mobile device (Google)
