Text Marketing Works

Note: Example Only Not A Real Active Account.

Text Coupons, also known as Mobile Coupons, are offers sent directly to your customers’ cell phones.  You entice a customer to opt-in by giving them an initial offer they can’t refuse.  Once they are on your list, you can directly contact that customer’s cell phone with new offers.  For example:

“Show this message to your server for a free appetizer with the purchase of any large pizza.  Offer expires tonight at 8pm.

Because of extremely high response rates text coupons are quickly becoming the most sought after form of marketing for most businesses, especially restaurants and retail stores, because they provide almost instant results.  Having a slow day?  Send a text and fill up your diner or shop within an hour or two!

 

Text Messages Are Read More Than Any Other Form of Advertising

Text messages are instantly delivered to your customers’ cell phones – and these days, who doesn’t have their cell phone on them at all times?  Look at these numbers…

Text Marketing Vs. Any Other Marketing

As you can see, no other form of advertising comes close to the read rate of text messages.  When you pay for advertising, you want it to be read!  Text Coupons deliver on that expectation – and at a much lower cost than almost all other forms of advertising.

Not only are text messages read more than any other form of media, they are also read quickly.  97% of text messages are read within the first ten minutes of being sent.  You won’t find results like that anywhere else.

Text Message Coupons Convert – BIG!

Text Message Coupons convert nearly 20 times higher than other coupon offers.  A recent survey found that text coupons convert at an average of 9%.  That means that, on average, 9 out of every 100 customers that receive a text message coupon will come in to redeem their coupon.  Those are some strong numbers!
