Texting, one of humanity’s greatest feats of ingenuity in the world of communication. With millions of text messages being sent and received every day, why shouldn’t you as a small business owner use the power of texting to get into contact with your customers?
Using text marketing in small businesses has many benefits
1. Affordable
For most text messages service companies, each text would have a standard value like credits and would have a recurring billing cycle. Online advertising, TV advertising, even larger advertising outdoors like billboards and posters are very expensive. Especially getting larger packages or more premium options, costs become enormous. Text Marketing is a fraction of the cost of other marketing strategies. SMS Marketing is a great tool for non-profit organizations as it doesn’t require much work to set up and does not cost as much to start and maintain.2.High Viewing Rate
According to Mobile Marketing Watch, nearly 98% of texts are read. No other marketing strategy has viewing rates as high as these. The closest would be an advertisement on TV during a big event. With everyone having phones and always texting it would be hard to miss a marketing SMS. With low costs, as a business, you would have a high ROI with constant engagement with customers
