What is SMS marketing? How to do it..?

SMS Marketing

SMS means Short Message Service, otherwise known as text messaging. SMS marketing is the process of spreading a marketing message via text messages.

An SMS marketing campaign involves the following steps:

1) A mobile user receives a message that informs him or her about some benefits that he or she would receive upon texting a series of numbers or words. For example: Text Hawaii to 92843 for a chance to win a free trip to Honolulu.

2) The user then sends a text message with the word Hawaii to 92843.

3)That message is received by an SMS marketing company who uses software to store the sender’s mobile phone number and automatically sends an acknowledgement message back to the sender.

4) The list of mobile phone numbers are then to be used to announce the winner in the future and for another SMS marketing campaign.
