The power of SMS marketing
With an open rate of up to 98%, a delivery speed of five seconds, and messages typically opened within 90 seconds, it’s no wonder that SMS is a popular addition to a marketer’s toolkit.
Four key reasons why SMS marketing should be essential to your marketing mix:
1. Mobile-friendly
Of all the reasons why businesses should move to a mobile-first strategy, the main reason is our reliance on our phones. Current research suggests that 48% of people are on their smartphone between four and eight hours a day, with seven in 10 of us checking any unread notifications in less than five minutes! It’s no surprise consumers actually expect to hear from businesses through text messaging.
2. Improves cost efficiency
Text messaging is more effective than most traditional marketing methods. Not only are messages sent almost instantly, but they’re also highly likely to be read and acted upon, creating measurable, attributable and, in our experience, high ROI for marketers. Campaigns can be deployed simply; text messages require little need for extra design or content resources, or they can be the driver to multi-media mobile experiences – whichever your business requires. SMS is also targeted – unlike mass media, you’re contacting a unique and engaged audience. Better still, you only pay for the messages you want to send – no complex subscription model required!
3. Complements other marketing strategies
SMS can be used alone, but you will gain the best results when it’s used alongside existing marketing communications, such as social media, email, WhatsApp Business Platform, direct mail and search advertising. Each channel can work together to create a unified message and voice for your brand.
Also, the variety of touch points not only makes things more convenient for your customers but it places the power of choice back into their hands.
4. Boosts customer engagement
With an average open rate of 98%, a text message is 4 times more likely to be opened than an email. Not only is a text message an effective way to instantly connect with your customer base, it’s also a powerful way to connect with customers on a personal level.
With the right SMS solution, you can choose who you target and create personalised SMS campaigns that help build long-lasting relationships with customers.
