Among the many marketing tools available out there, texting stands out for a number of reasons worth mentioning and analyzing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/sms-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SMS marketing<\/a> is the one and only way to succeed in promoting your brand. On the contrary, text messages are actually a great addition to your overall strategy because they work really well with other marketing channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before jumping to the reasons why this practice is so effective, you can find a comprehensive definition of SMS marketing and what are its best practices in this article:<br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/what-is-sms-marketing-definition-best-practices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is SMS Marketing? Definition and Best Practices in 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Why SMS Marketing is So Effective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reason 1: Cost Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Money talks but your budget doesn\u2019t have to walk. One of the best things about SMS marketing is that you pay for each text message that you send. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">texting software<\/a> offer different packages with a certain number of messages available to send each month. You can adjust that number of messages to how many people you plan to reach out in a certain period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So for example, if you never used SMS marketing before, you can start with a plan with the minimum number of messages available, and upgrade once you see results. Costs will vary depending on the carrier but the prices are usually pretty affordable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out Trumpia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/pricing-plans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text message software pricing plans<\/a> to get a better idea on the numbers. One of the good things about these plans is that they all include a wide range of useful features you can use to refine and improve your SMS marketing campaign. And unlike most of our competitors, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/core-features\/text-keywords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unlimited text keywords<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/why-sms-marketing-is-so-effective-.jpg\" alt=\"why sms marketing is so effective\" class=\"wp-image-745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/why-sms-marketing-is-so-effective-.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/why-sms-marketing-is-so-effective--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/why-sms-marketing-is-so-effective--768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reason 2: Ease of Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best things about SMS marketing is that it\u2019s easy to use. You don\u2019t need to hire any experts or have advanced coding knowledge in order to successfully use it. Usually, any member of your team (or even yourself) should be able to successfully use a texting software without major training.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also the very same nature of SMS makes it easy because it\u2019s concise and straightforward. Text messages are limited to a certain number of characters. That limitation is actually a benefit because you can provide value faster, add a call to action, and lead your prospects into a more direct purchase experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve neer used an SMS marketing platform and would still like to learn how to use it without browsing on hundreds of YouTube videos, we have a solution for you. Trumpia offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/professional-services\/onboarding-and-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">onboarding and training<\/a> with strategy and implementation sessions by our onboarding specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reason 3: People\u2019s Acceptance&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the many marketing messages users receive every day, text messages are the ones that cut through the noise the most:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Unlike emails or other media, SMS messages have a 98% open rate.<\/li><li>60% of users in the US prefer to receive text messages, as they find them much less intrusive than, let\u2019s say, a phone call.<\/li><li>90% of text messages are read within 3 minutes after receipt.<\/li><li>9 out of 10 users opt-in SMS loyalty programs&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a more comprehensive list of <a href=\"https:\/\/trumpia.com\/blog\/a-compilation-of-useful-sms-marketing-facts-and-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sms marketing facts and statistics here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these numbers say it loud: people want to receive text messages. Many other messages are ignored because users are just not interested in reading them. There\u2019s a reason for that: emails or phone calls are not welcome because people don\u2019t opt in to receive them. On the other hand, people need to subscribe in order to receive text messages. So they\u2019re actually not that surprised when you send them an SMS message (they might even be waiting for them!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reason 4: Measurability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can track your SMS campaign\u2019s performance and get information about click through rate or delivery rate using analytics from your texting software of choice. These analytics can definitely help in measuring your campaign\u2019s ROI. With this useful data, you can decide whether you change anything in your strategy, continue, or stop it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reason 5: SMS Marketing Works Well with Other Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing is so effective because it doesn\u2019t work as a silo. You can use it as part of a multi-channel strategy. It can complement, for example, an email campaign: you can send a promotional email with useful links and more comprehensive information, and send a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/core-features\/appointment-reminders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">text appointment reminder<\/a> afterwards to engage those who didn\u2019t convert yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>A Texting Software You Can Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SMS marketing works. Using your brand voice and knowing how to engage your audience is on you. But in the technical side, having the right texting software is crucial. Trumpia is a choice you can trust. Not only because we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/professional-services\/365-day-support\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">365 day support<\/a> as well as onboarding and training, but also because we offer a range of features like no other brands.&nbsp;<br>With our tools, you\u2019re covered whether you need to do a simple campaign or the most complex <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trumpia.com\/product\/automation-text-messaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">automated text message<\/a> campaign.
