Mobile SMS marketing better than verbal communication
This is a much preferred way of communication as SMS marketing is more discreet method than a telephonic conversation. In a telephonic conversation your customer may feel disturbed and annoyed but in a SMS there is no way of getting angry or disturbed. So it is a great tool to make your customers aware of your products and newly launched products. Comparing with other method of marketing like email or telephonic conversation it is less time consuming for both the receivers and senders. Therefore if you are using SMS marketing strategy instead of phone call or email you need not spend a lot of time in making the customer understand what you want to say and even sometimes disturbing him. It is even better than instant messaging and email, therefore you need not stay connected to the computer all the time.
Now look at the advantages of this kind of marketing. It is a spam free mode and the delivery of your message is more certain than an email. There are lots of reasons of the failure of your email marketing. It can be considered as a spam or land up as a junk mail. Then the main purpose of your mailing will be failed. But in this case of SMS it is more certain and customers friendly than an email marketing. However, because of the store and forward service of the SMS, the message does not go directly to the client’s cell phone. In this case the advantage is that there is no need for the client’s cell phone to be active or in range for you to send the message. The messages in this case are stored in SMSC and when the cell phone is turned on and gets into the range the message is automatically sent to your mobile. So the delivery of the message advertising your product will surely be delivered to your clients. For this single reason SMS is much preferred than other mode.
Other advantages of this type of marketing are the customers will not get confused with the jingle of words. This medium is better than verbal marketing in a way that there is always a chance of ignoring and deleting the message.
