Businesses who implement SMS into their lead generation and marketing strategies are listening to the communication wants of their target audience(s) and following suit. Isn't it time for your business to do the same?
SMS marketing is a channel that has grown astronomically in recent years and it’s no secret why; it’s affordable with a healthy ROI and has tons of reach (over 237 million mobile users in the U.S.) and engagement.
How can your business use SMS marketing campaigns successfully?
The most obvious is to “narrowcast” your message directly to your intended audiences. Using clever opt-in tactics, it’s possible to generate a healthy base of prospects, leads, and customers, all of whom can be messaged directly with guaranteed open rates.
SMS can be so much more than just brand messaging. It can also:
- Keep your audience informed with sales, reminders, delivery statuses, and real-time updates
- Remind prospects and customers about what you offer and can reward your loyal subscribers
- Integrates well with email campaigns and your eCommerce solutions
- Determine actual engagement with your brand
- SMS surveys can work as a feedback tool, with better response rates than long surveys
- Data from your SMS efforts can help support your other marketing channel strategies
Looking for some additional insight that SMS is more powerful than just branding buzz?
