With Shortcode SMS there is a certain Va Va Vroom in knowing how to do it, as well as being able to formulate a great SMS marketing campaign for business.
For those who aren't familiar with what it is, SMS shortcode is basically where a person uses their mobile phone to text a KEYWORD to a NUMBER, and is added to a list similar to an email list. This is not just for the big guns. Anyone can latch on to this marketing, and it is cheaper than pay per click marketing. Are you ready to use it?
There are many benefits to this type of marketing, including:
- This can be used by people to boost business profits, by texting an offer once the person has signed up to the list to get them through the door of their business.
- It can be used as a CAMPAIGN TOOL for charities, or campaigns that involve making people aware of a particular issue. For example, just recently, the EJF, a foundation launched a campaign alerting people to the crime of illegal "pirate" fishing.
-MPs in the UK, could benefit from shortcode SMS, by keeping in regular contact with their constiutents and voters, and tell them what they are doing each week, via text, - or by telling them what their next political campaign will be.
- Finally, SMS shortcode marketing can be used by individuals as "virtual business card."
