- ARTICLES |
The money is in the List but only 5% counts because the other 95% never even see your email in their cluttered in-boxes. An even bigger problem is the growing number of people who use mobile devices [not computers or laptops] whenever they go online.
That means unless your marketing is reaching mobile users, you’re IGNORING most of your potential customers. How do you build a list of prospects when nobody opens their email and the rest are online using mobile devices. Here are few things everyone should be aware of by now:
More and more people are using Smartphones (in fact, there are more cell phone users than internet users), to send text messages because it's cheaper than using minutes to talk. Here are some facts about SMS marketing:
SMS charges can still add up faster than you think if you don't look around and ask the right questions. Instead of asking "how" find out "why" these guys can offer more services for less than anyone else. Most people don't realize all text messages are not the same.
You can build a list online by simply placing a special opt-in form on your website. Add the form for collecting cell phone numbers to your e-mail opt-in form, thank-you pages, exit forms, etc... and then you can send VIP text messages to your SMS subscribers anytime you want. You can also collect cell phone numbers offline by asking prospects to text your keyword to a short code or use your QR Code to subscribe.
This combines the very best online and offline mobile lead generation methods - the same ones used for expensive corporate campaigns. After going through more than a dozen different mobile list building sites and hating them all, I finally found what I was looking for!!
UNLIMITED Messages and UNLIMITED Subscribers is good but this one also comes with your own Custom iphone App and Unlimted SMS Messaging for $39/mo. The cost to start building your mobile list now is nothing compared to how much more it will cost later.
At the very least, you must have Unlimited SMS Messaging with Mobile Autoresponder so you can start building your subscribers list right away. Once you see how responsive your new SMS Subscribers List really is, you'll wonder why you didn't start years ago.

The days of high mobile costs and limited functionality are over but relatively few believe what they've never heard of before so they pay lower but still higher prices because nobody can afford to send email nobody opens.- Text message open rates are extremely high with over 95% of text messages opened and read.
- Almost every text message sent is delivered so everyone who wants to receive your messages will get them all.
