- Text messaging is an effective marketing tool as most mobile users are on their phones daily and open rates and responses for texts are high.
- Businesses can build a mobile list through their website, social media, flyers with short codes, and asking existing customers to join.
- Example text marketing campaigns include offering discounts to save money, incentives to spend more, and giving out freebies to generate trials. Proper use of QR codes is also discussed.
