Why SMS?

Global Bulk SMS (Short Messaging Service) or mobile text messaging service has become a valuable and cost-effective service tool for marketers and particularly promoters to advertise events, promote brands, send customer or employee reminders, or to alert target audiences of special events or offers. SMS provides an easy and quick method of dispatching large-scale marketing campaigns at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing campaigns.

Why SMS marketing?

Research shows that SMS is the most effective medium of advertising having greater penetration and cost effectiveness than any other modern medium of marketing utilized today, including radio and television. SMS is 50% more successful at building brand awareness than TV and 130% more successful than radio, even at much lower frequency levels.* Studies have shown that an SMS will always be read by the recipient since it arrives directly into the recipient's hand-held mobile device where she may then choose to keep and re-read later, forward, delete or even reply-to the message. The strength of the recipient's relationship with her mobile phone is unique, making sms marketing the most direct and personal method of marketing available today.* Unlike being given a hand out, event flyer or brochure at which she may take a brief glance and then toss, sms can be saved and referred back to at a later time.
