Text message marketing is gaining in popularity every year and that

makes perfect sense considering:

• 90% of all marketing emails are NOT opened by the recipient.

• 86% of all Americans own a cell phone

• 97% of all text messages are opened

• 83% of all text messages are opened within an hour

SMS text marketing was a no-brainer for companies like:

Walgreens, MacDonalds, Ford, Hilton Hotel Group, Pepsi and Dunkin Donuts who have used

mobile media to offer coupons, a Super Bowl promotion and special

offers.

But what about smaller businesses?

Can SMS text marketing benefit single-location businesses, multiple

location businesses and even healthcare providers?

The answer is absolutely with a capital "A."

Text marketing can be used in hundreds of ways to stay connected

to your attentive audience.

Here are some ideas on how SMS text marketing can be put to good

use:

Restaurant Owners could send out text coupons such as discounts for dinner, nightly specials, and even

quick limited-time offers during any slow times the restaurant may be

having.

Real Estate Agents could send out SMS marketing messages about new listings, price reductions on current

listings and open houses.

Doctors Offices could send appointment reminders, health tips,

a welcome message to new patients, and their website link so that patients have the option of

downloading and printing necessary paperwork to complete it prior to

their visit to save time.

Schools, Churches, Nightclubs, Lawyers, Stores, Bands, Spas,

Organizations and more can benefit from using text marketing to stay in

touch and communicate valuable information to those that want it.

Your Audience Opts-In

Once of the most important elements about using SMS text

marketing for your audience is that your audience requests to be

included by sending a text message to a keyword that you have

selected.

For example if I was in a band, I would have a pick a keyword that is easy to remember and ask my fans

to text in my keyword to my assigned number with my text

marketing company to opt-in to updates.

Like: "Text in the word "Jordan" to 90210 to subscribe to our updates and to register for a chance to win

our $1,000 tour package!"

The keyword and the text number can be announced through a sign or banner in your business, a website

announcement, face-to-face, on social networking sites and anyway

that you communicate with your audience now.

By now you should have a good idea about how your business can

benefit from SMS text marketing.
