Regardless of your motivations, now is the time that businesses to start preparing and implementing their marketing strategies and SMS marketing is a great way to communicate with both consumers, business partners and colleges.
Here are a few interesting ideas for reaching your target audience via text messages:
Pubs and Restaurants
As a popular destination for families and corporate days during the Christmas period, the hospitality market should utilise this season to promote Christmas offers and deals, such as “Corporate Christmas meal” or “Christmas offer: every child gets one desert for free”.
Schools
Using text messages in schools and education is a good way to invite parents to some Christmas bazaars or Christmas celebrations. Alongside this, Schools are able to communicate school holiday dates, or ‘snow days’ with parents directly to their mobile phone.
