Marketing through cellphones' SMS (Short Message Service) became increasingly popular in the early 2000s in Europe and some parts of Asia when businesses started to collect mobile phone numbers and send off wanted (or unwanted) content. On average, SMS messages have a 98% open rate, and are read within 3 minutes, making it highly effective at reaching recipients quickly.[4]
People have become very comfortable texting and the format lends itself to short, informal communications with abbreviations and emojis. Meanwhile, many people resist picking up the phone to talk to a stranger. Texting therefore becomes the perfect first-contact, allowing your sales representatives to begin establishing a relationship before transferring to a phone call when it’s needed.


  Most of the world are beginning to think that sms marketing tools are going to take over the way we do business both online and offline? If you would care to consider the fact that an average of 97% of recipients open their text messages. That stat is crazy! A person on average check their cell phones at least 50-100 times a day. Why don't you try an pay attention to how many times you look at your cell phone on a daily basis. It's a lot right?
