Why SMS and Text Message Advertising is Effective for Any Business

All business owners are always looking for ways to promote and advertise their business. There have been tons of opportunities and programs for business owners. Some of the most popular methods are email blasts, and even phone blasts.

Ask yourself this question. Do you ever read spam? Perhaps once in a while something will catch your eye; but odds are you don’t read it and skip over it. You see an unfamiliar phone number show up on your caller ID. You answer the call only to realize that it’s a phone blast for some product or company you really don’t care about. Have you actually ever listened to a whole message?

Now, think about text messages. When your phone dings with a notification for a new text what do you do? If you’re like most people you probably open it.

Texterzone is offering a great service that has broadcast text messages that can be completely customized for any business. Customers can opt-in several ways: they can complete a rewards card application (you collect their cell number); they can call a unique number created for the business (and Texterzone will capture the phone number for the business!); or the customer can text the unique number to be added to subscription list.

There are great advantages when a business can create custom sms campaigns :

1) Users will read the text

2) The business can offer promotions

3) The business can include a link (click thru) on the text message directing the customer to a website for a coupon, free item, or other promo!

4) Messages are completely custom

5) The business can generate auto-responses to the customer based on certain keywords! For example-a customer can respond and Texterzone’s software will automatically generate a response. It will appear as if the business is personally responding!

6) Affordable advertising that is guaranteed to increase visibility and almost 100% effective!

7) This is the new wave of marketing.
