Have you received SMS (short message service) marketing messages before? You may have signed up for them through loyalty programs, online or in-store purchases, or your number may have been obtained from companies selling their contact lists. But have you ever considered including it in your own marketing plan?
The process of SMS marketing typically involves the following steps:
1. Building a subscriber list: Businesses collect phone numbers from customers who opt-in to receive text messages. This can be done through online sign-up forms, in-store sign-up sheets, or other methods.
2. Creating a message: Businesses craft a concise and engaging message that will resonate with their target audience. This message can include promotions, discounts, event invitations, and more.
3. Sending the message: The SMS marketing platform is used to send the message to the subscriber list. Messages can be scheduled in advance to ensure they are sent at the most optimal times.
4. Tracking results: Businesses monitor the success of their SMS marketing campaigns by tracking metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates. This data can be used to optimize future campaigns.
