ENGAGING PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU & BUY FROM YOU

Getting your people to stay glued to your promos, interacting and taking action is a successful marketing campaign. An SMS sent gets more clicks since the message is direct and catches the attention of the mobile user.

But a social media promo gets to be seen, only when the smartphone user opens the facebook/twitter app, which is usually 50% of them, compared to more than 80% who open their phones once they see an SMS. This results in a higher open rate for SMS than Social media.
