Using bulk SMS as a way of communicating an offer to your customers is astonishingly effective. In fact, according to the Mobile Marketing Association, SMS is 5 times more responsive than direct mail. With open rates to e-mail collapsing, companies need to find new and innovative ways of communicating.

SMS marketing is very cost effective.  Bulk SMS messages cost just a few pence per text and with response rates of up to 15%, you’ll get a great return on your marketing investment.
3. It will save your precious time.
How much time do you spend on the phone getting bogged down in conversations with clients of colleagues, when all you wanted to do was get a simple piece of information across? It’s incredibly frustrating. Using SMS takes a fraction of the time of a phone call and costs considerably less. Your time will be freed up to spend on more productive activities!
