Do you know that 97% of adults in the U.S currently own a cell phone, and 87% of them own smartphones? What better way to market than through SMS?

Tolu discusses creating an SMS list after getting clients’ consent and shares the importance of business lists and planning your business offers so that they synchronize with the frequency of your messages. He shares the statistics comparing email marketing to SMS marketing; people open their SMS messages more, so SMS marketing has more open rates of about 97% to 98. Also, clicking rates are as high as 20% compared to 0.5- 3% in email marketing. It also fits into our fast-paced world because it goes straight to the point.

Lastly, he discusses how to utilize business lists in SMS marketing to remind people about their appointments and transactions and then use the opportunity to market without infringing on clients’ privacy.
