Text Message Marketing – The Five Reasons Why it Outshines The More Traditional Forms of Marketing
Text marketing campaigns are becoming very common place in today’s retail and service sectors. From cornershops to department stores and from spas to pizzerias, text marketing is becoming a very widely utilised marketing tool which business owners dare not ignore.
There are many advantages and obvious benefits to running this type of marketing campaign over more traditional methods, but here are what I consider to be the top five.
1. Open Rate and Response Rate
The statistics never lie. Text messages have a 98% open rate. Mobile coupons and special offers sent by text message have a redemption rate of between 5% and 15% as compared to 1% for traditional coupons. If you want your marketing message or special offer read and used, then text marketing out performs all others with quite a bit to spare.
2. Low Cost and High Return on Investment
Commercials, print ads, sponsorship and outdoor advertising can all be cost prohibitive for many bar those with lavish marketing and advertising budgets. Text marketing however has such low set up and running costs that campaigns can be launched and executed for a fraction of costs associated with the more traditional marketing channels.
With the cost effectiveness and high response rates of text marketing campaigns, there are simply no other marketing mediums out there that can touch it for return on investment.
3. Speed and Flexibility
