3 Free SMS Text Marketing Tools
Free SMS Text Marketing is a great way to stay in contact with your customers and reach new ones. Texts have an outstanding open rate of around 98%. Most free plans are very limited but are great to try the platform and track some successes before upgrading.
Why Free SMS Text Marketing Works
SMS marketing services work because they cut through the noise generated by other direct marketing channels. Take these statistics for example:
- 90% of people have a mobile device constantly within reach all day, every day (study by Morgan Stanley)
- 72% of cell phone users check their mobile devices for new messages as soon as they wake up (International Data Corporation)
- 94% of messages are read within three minutes of delivery, compared to a mere 22% open rate for emails (ImpigeMobileStrategy)
- When used for coupon redemption, SMS text marketing produces engagement rates eight times higher than retailers normally achieve via email marketing (Cellit).
- Brands using SMS advertising to support other marketing activities successfully reach 95% of their target audiences (GoMoNews).
- SMS text marketing performs four to five times better than online advertising for creating brand awareness and increasing purchasing intent (Neilsen).
- 44% of consumers prefer offers via SMS compared to email (18%), smartphone apps (11%) and voicemail (8%). (Direct Marketing Association)
