According to the latest data presented by YouGov, a survey on SMS and mobile phone marketing showed the following:
- 65% of people like offers on their mobile phones
- 75% of smartphone users prefer receiving offers via SMS
- 83% would prefer to receive no more than two offer per month
“Only about 1 in 100 of our clients use SMS marketing, as opposed to 90% of them using email marketing,” said Brandon K. Gaille, the CEO of SocialMediadd.com. “This low penetration has led to cell phone owners only occasionally receiving offers via SMS text messaging. This is the primary reason for SMS being the most effective mobile marketing medium for eliciting consumer response.”
