    SMS Industry Guide: Accounting and Tax Professionals

    Boost your marketing efforts during tax season with an easy and effective approach to connecting with clients via texting, or SMS marketing.

    As accountants and tax professionals, numbers make all the difference. How does SMS marketing measure up?

    Check out these SMS stats:

    • 98% open rate
    • 90% open rate within 3 minutes
    • 91% of people in the US carry mobile devices all day
    • 74% of people form positive impressions of businesses who interact via SMS

    With higher open and response rates than email alone, why limit your efforts and miss out on the main communication channel of many users? SMS proves to be a powerhouse when it comes to reaching who you want when you want.

    SMS marketing empowers customers and prospects to respond on their own time, all in a matter of seconds!

    How your firm can use SMS:

    • Scheduling and appointments reminders
    • Inform customers about tax policy updates or news
    • Update clients when taxes are completed and filed
