Benefits of SMS Marketing

According to Smart Insights and related market research, here are some of the key benefits of marketing using SMS as the communication medium. Explore how Iwin can help you to increase your customer reach and engagement by using Bulk SMS.

Reaching people

Unlike mobile apps, or use of the internet, where compatible software and data usage limits are key limiting factors, SMS enables you to send marketing campaigns to practically any phone.

Instant Delivery

SMS delivery to your target market is instantaneous. This means that you can rely on reaching your audience at the moment when it matters most.

SMS also uses the GSM Network Control Plane. This means that when data networks fail and base stations are still up, you will still reach your audience.

High Open Rates

Open rates for SMS messages are amongst the highest across any form of marketing. Frost & Sullivan 2010 & Epsilon 2009 reports found that compared to Email marketing, which has an average open rate of 22%, SMS messages boast an impressive 98% open rate.

This means that your target audience has a higher likelihood of engaging with your brand when reaching out with targeted mobile communication.

Customer Engagement

Another recent study found the average click-through rate (CTR) of URLs included in SMS messages is 19%, compared to a 4.2% CTR for Emails. This means that SMS marketing is not only a more engaging marketing method, but it is also more likely to drive responses that companies deem desirable than with Email marketing. Email is also subject to strict spam filtering which is not a problem that affects SMS marketing. With Iwin you can therefore reach your target audience with a high engagement rate.

Low Spam Rates

Regulations around SMS and mobile communications are not overly restrictive. Consumers have the ability with Iwin to opt out from any bulk communication sources and therefore the power is with the consumer to control spam as opposed to email where SPAM engines control, to a large extent, what content is deemed to be spam.

Eco-friendly

In comparison to email, direct mail and face to face meetings, a text message has the lowest impact on our carbon footprint. In fact it is almost a carbon-free way of communicating, so if you are looking for ways to make your business greener, SMS marketing is a big step in the right direction.
