SMS: A PIVOTAL TOOL IN MARKETING ARSENAL
SMS marketing is the dispersion of promotional messages through text messaging. The distribution of such messages is permission based and allow companies to benefit from micro moments of the clients. SMS marketing is rapidly growing, generating revenue and fast.
MOBILE MARKETING
Businesses, industries, and brands are always looking for new ways to stay connected with their customers and clients. With the growing population, ecommerce marketing is also spreading. In ecommerce businesses, email marketing had been the rage for decades until recently. Since the rapid growth of mobile phones and its users, SMS marketing is earning more prominence with each passing day. Email marketing has diluted; out of 269 billion emails that are sent every day, almost 50% are spam.
WIDE TARGET AUDIENCE
Out of seven billion people, five billion are mobile users. While users have been text messaging around the world for years, ecommerce businesses have recently started to realize the importance and possible growth in this area of marketing. Ecommerce businesses are reaping this potential revenue as much as they can. SMS marketing target vast audience both demographically and individually. There are more mobile users than internet users and SMS are more easily accessible to consumers as compared to emails which need internet connection to be received and read.
Through SMS marketing, ecommerce businesses can target wide range of audience, easily, swiftly, and more intimately as compared to email marketing, which keeps the audience at a certain distance and formality.
FOSTERS TIES
To foster deeper ties with their customers, Ecommerce businesses have started to leverage SMS marketing which has the ability to create closer connections with customers as opposed to emails.
SMS marketing is a secret tool which further engage clients with the brands of their liking. Previously ecommerce businesses used to talk at customers through emails, but SMS marketing allows these businesses to talk to them at a much more intimate level. SMS marketing has opened a way for both the customer and the company a level of personal interaction and affiliation.
ATTENTION GRABBING
Attention span of mobile using clients are shrinking steadily and consistently. A text that is brief, easy to understand and easily accessible grabs much more attention than a long, detailed email which is perceived as boring and time wasting mostly.
An SMS takes almost 3 minutes to be opened by the recipient after receiving it. An email takes almost 90 minutes to be opened and 50% ends in spam folder. Every reader can honestly agree when I say that most receptors of emails do not read even half of it.
This seismic shift in consumer behavior coupled with changing marketing strategies and technological innovations have rendered the trend of emails obsolete and paved way for SMS marketing.
COST EFFECTIVE
Although it depends on how many messages an ecommerce company wants to send daily, but on average, it takes a couple of hundreds of dollars to send thousands of messages per month, which makes each message almost a penny’s worth and because almost 98% messages are opened by the receivers, SMS marketing proves itself to be quite cost effective and efficient in fulfilling the company’s goal behind the dispersal of those SMS, which is to be seen and understood.
