You may have noticed, recently, the addition of 5 or 6 -digit ‘short codes’ plus keywords , eg ‘SONICF1’ (as pictured here) in print advertising. Get ready to see more and more of this, just as it was when you first started seeing email addresses and URLs some 10-15 years ago.
Text marketing is destined to become the new ‘email advertising,’ only even more successful than email ever was. Why? Cell phones are the one thing that people are in contact with virtually 24 hours, ie you always have a captive audience and readership is currently averaging 97%! (Email is 1-7%)
HOW IT WORKS? Simple.
1) The advertiser is assigned a ‘short code’ (usually five digits, e.g.’ 12345’) and a relevant keyword, e.g. ‘COUPON2’
2) LIST BUILDING: We run a campaign for the advertiser in various media, inviting people interested in receiving FREE Coupons and relevant info to ‘text message’ said keyword to the aforementioned ‘short code’
3) COUPON TEXTING: Once a sufficient ‘customer list’ has been ‘captured’ we begin a series ‘ campaign’ of weekly (or any time frame) text messages. This includes sending a short text message, usually involving some discount offer or event and / or an actual coupon which the cell phone user simply uploads and shows the business clerk so as to receive the discount in question OR the text link can take one to a website for online ordering
