$500 a Day using Text Messages?

Hey guys.. anyone having success advertising with text messages?

I just signed up with a service and want to start integrating this
media in our marketing.

Don't know yet whether to send them to a website or a recorded hotline
they can call immediately...

let me know your thoughts!

One idea I had was testing those ads they play right before the movie
starts... since everyone has their phone with them, they could text to
get more info and then send a followup a few hours later!

And they'll be in a great buying mood since they just saw "Hangover" for the second
time like I did! :-)

    My guess is that a recorded hotline would work better , but you never know. It may depend on the phone they use. I know with my wife's I-Phone it is easy to see a website, with my phone a website is about useless. The only way to know for sure is test.

      That would be my thought, so many different phones out there. I personally am not into the latest phones, mine is plain, for calls and regular text, that's it. Course maybe I am not the norm.

        I'm thinking that would be the easiest as well... sending
        them to a recorded hotline.

        Less steps for them and won't depend on having a phone
        to view a website. Just a click to call.

        But ultimately, the hotline will have to direct them to the
        website to order.

        Will keep you all posted...
