If you are not sure what SMS text message marketing is just yet, don't

worry, you soon will.

Mobile marketing for business has been around for a while now, but

has recently gained popularity among businesses in the know.

Text message marketing is actually really simple, and I bet that you

probably have seen it on some level, at some point.

If you watch any TV at all, you have probably seen the ads that say

something like "Just text BINGO to this number" or something similar.

So, how could you use this technology for your business?

Keep reading to find out how powerful mobile marketing is

becoming, and what you could do with it to promote your business.

It doesn't really matter what kind of business you own, you can definitely use SMS text message marketing for

business purposes,

and it really is an effective way of staying in touch with your customers

and keeping them informed.

So, let's take a look at a really simple example of how you could use a mobile marketing campaign to

provide value to your customers, while keeping your service fresh in

their mind on a regular basis.

Say you own a service related business. This could be a bar,

restaurant, hair salon or just about any other kind of business you can

think of.

You simply get your customers to opt-in to receive your text message

alerts through your short code which you will send out when you have something of extra value to

offer them.

Once they sign up to receive your mobile message alerts, they will

then be on your list and you have their permission to contact them.

Maybe one day business is a bit slow, or you have an event going on that you would like your subscribers

to know about.

You simply send out your SMS text message with your offer, such as:

"Bring this text message in for 25% off" or something similar.

People love to be involved, and they really love saving money on a cool promotion, event or maybe dinner.

They will be thrilled to bring their phones in to show you their text coupon that you sent them, and

suddenly business picks up.

Of course, you could use this type of message for all kinds of things to

contact your list of customers and offer them something that is a

benefit to them.

Just use your imagination to figure out what you could offer them and

you will find almost endless possibilities.

As of 2009, it is estimated that 270 million people in the U.S. alone will have some kind of mobile phone.

Statistically, and very simply, this means that a LOT of your customers have the ability to send and receive

a text message.

Whether you want to send out mobile coupons, alerts to specials or

events or just randomly offer your customers something great, the numbers are simply too large to

ignore.
