You've probably been collecting email addresses for years. Text-2-Join keywords provide consumers a trusted method to 'opt-in' and 'opt-out' of text message marketing programs from their phone. SMS marketing works because it's fun, fast, and effective. The ability to reach your audience instantly - anytime, anywhere - with a 95% read-rate makes the mobile 'opt-in' the most precious element in your CRM database.
The Pareto Principle - also known as the Law of the Vital Few - suggests that 80% of your sales come from 20% of your customers. This principal was the foundation for the gaming industry's most successful marketing strategy ever - the Player's Club.
While similar customer identification strategies have since been adopted by most other business sectors, until now, email and direct
mail were the only channels capable of leveraging these rich databases for targeted communications. With e-mail read rates for marketers down
to 5% and the high-costs and long lead times associated with direct mail, sms marketing offers a more efficient and effective channel to identify,
attract, and reward your most valued customers.
