The Power of SMS
Brands and businesses of all size are taking advantage of SMS marketing. It's the only advertising vehicle that allows you to communicate with your customers in a personal, non-intrusive manner. SMS marketing allows you to send time-sensitive alerts to your mobile subscribers instantly, driving more traffic and creating higher conversion rates. The metrics behind SMS marketing are so powerful, no other advertising medium can compete.
17% Conversion Rate
If you send a text message to your subscribers with a compelling offer or call-to-action, you can expect 17% of those subscribers will act on the offer. Compared to print pieces, which yield an average 1% conversion, and email, which is less than 10%, SMS marketing is a low-cost, common sense approach to driving more sales.
95% Open Rate
If you send it, they will read it! 95% of all text messages sent by SMS marketing are opened by their recipients. In addition, they're typically read within 15 minutes, not hours or days as is typical with email and direct mail.
