Text Marketing is the Wave of the Future…!

Text Marketing is a fantastic solution for any kind of business or organization, whether it is non-profit or a for-profit business.   The reason?  Because text messaging is not only a money maker, it’s a money saver. Here are some interesting statistics concerning Text Marketing:

• – 35% of the USA population use Facebook
• – 50% of males don’t check their Facebook account.
• – Only 7% of the American population has a Twitter account.
• – 40% of people use email regularly.

Now, here’s the thing to take note of…90% of all American have a Mobile Phone, and 98% of these have texting capabilities!

Unbelievably,  2-1/2 times more people use texting than Email. Another notable point is that a third of email users change their email addresses annually; thus, emails are constantly becoming outdated.  But with the ability to “port” your existing cell phone number to a new carrier, these numbers remain fairly constant.  In fact, many people are now porting over their home phone numbers to a mobile phone and giving up their traditional landlines.

Your marketing messages will be more apt to be read in a text/sms format.  If a coupon or other kind of notification is sent via SMS Texting, over 94% of all of the messages will be read within just 4-5 minutes of delivery.  That’s a fantastic statistic to consider!

But, you ask, “Does the receiving and reading of text messages really affect buying decisions?”  Research shows that overwhelmingly, people respond to and can recall specifics about offers received on their mobile devices.  In fact, people overwhelmingly respond to text messages vs. email messages.

30% of mobile phone users redeem a coupon sent via SMS vs. only 5% of people receiving the same offer by email.

Any group or business knows that the most precious asset they have are their customers or members.  What better way to keep in touch with your loyal followers and nurture your relationship than to set up a system whereby you can communicate easily and effectively…on a regular basis!  Folks who were surveyed actually responded that they would like to hear from their favorite businesses and organizations MORE OFTEN!

Text Marketing is extremely affordable and can really boost your sales and your followers.  Even if every message you send does not have a call-to-action directed toward a direct sale, eventually the communication will help your profits and increase your bottom line.

There has never, in the history of marketing, been such a WIN-WIN tool like SMS Text Marketing.
