Markets for Text Message Marketing

Mobile Marketing works for any type of operation that wants to attract incremental business, or extend the reach of their information flow.  The obvious advantage of Mobile Marketing is its deliverability and immediacy.  Studies show that 94% of all text messages are read.  SMS messages are delivered immediately to the member’s mobile handset, with a call to action.  With this kind of immediacy, promotions can be short-term, such as the offer of a discount or other purchase incentive if acted on within “X” hours (the modern equivalent of the old “blue light special”). 

Examples of how different organizations can use Market-To-Cell’s Mobile Marketing services are:

Restaurants:
Offer meal specials, happy hour deals. Tell your clientele about any new menu items, special events (entertainment).

Retailers:
Offer promotional discounts, available only to the text message recipients.  Announce new items, in-store events.

Government bodies:
Announce special events, emergency alerts, new business openings, and changes to local regulations such as water restrictions.

Entertainment:
Promote feature performers. Publish upcoming acts, events. Offer coupons for early ticket purchase. Offer reduced cover charge.

Gift Shops:
Offer cell phone reminders for future “special” days, such as Valentine Day, Sweetest Day, Anniversary, and Birthdays.

Automotive Services: 
Offer reminders for oil changes, tune-ups, scheduled maintenance, product / service promotions.

Medical Offices: 
Send appointment reminders.

Golf Courses:
Send out tee times available from cancellations. Offer a “golf tip of the day” service.

Delivery Services:
Send “package delivered” notification.
