About SMS/Texting Lists

SMS stands for Short Message Service and it is used as a    means of sending short text messages to Consumers on their    mobile devices, such as cell phones, blackberries, iPhones, etc    SMS or text messaging is the most widely used data application    in the world, with 74% of all mobile phone users worldwide    being active users of the Short Message Service. In countries    such as Finland, Sweden and Norway, over 85% of the    population use SMS. The European average is about 80%    while North America is quickly catching up with over 60% active    users of SMS by the end of 2008.

With 2.4 billion active users and, on average, messages being read within four minutes, SMS has quickly become a popular marketing channel. Marketers can send up to 160 text characters to get their message out.

Another option is sending a timed slideshow of images, text, audio and video. This is called MMS (Multimedia Message Service). Nearly all new phones now come with a color screen capable of sending and receiving standard MMS messages.

The key to SMS marketing is Targeting: Campaigns must be targeted and tailored to the audience. People view their mobile phone as an extremely personal accessory so messages sent to consumers via their phone must be extremely relevant to them and Permission: All consumers receiving messages should have opted in to receive them. Any kind of unwelcome contact would run a very strong risk of annoying the consumer and nullifying the offer.
