This is a worry for many businesses in today’s market as people more and more are being overloaded with new information and it becomes too much for them to take in.
We really are a generation of “deletion creatures” and by that I mean that out of the 100 emails you might receive in one day, how many of them do you really read?
Yet, when it comes to SMS, it really is a different story.
SMS, stands for “short message service” and is considered today to be an indispensable resource within mobile marketing ecosystem. Not only that, SMS has an open rate of 95%. That’s greater than any other messaging service around.
