Are you aware of the communication revolution occurring right now that is SMS Text Messaging?

What is SMS Text Messaging?

SMS, short for Short Messaging Service, is a text message service that enables short messages of generally no more than 160 characters in length, to be sent to, and transmitted from a mobile phone.

Mobile phones and the use of SMS, are having an un-deniable impact on our daily lives and the methods we use to conduct business. The fact that SMS also provides an enormous opportunity for companies to interact with their customers, is not really well known.

Some numbers…

Consider these figures. The ‘Mobile Data Association’ reported that in the UK alone, in a three year period from 2003, over 75 billion SMS messages were transmitted.

In the US, according to the ‘Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association’, the number of SMS messages has grown from 930 million per month in 2002, to 1.2 billion per month in 2003.

Recently, in the Phillipines, SMS Messaging played a major role in bringing down an unpopular political regime. Now that’s a lot of SMS messages.

The ‘Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association’, reported that during 2005, Australians sent more than 5 billion text messages. Considering, Australia’s population is only around 20 million, this is extraordinary.

Popular reality TV shows like Australian Idol, Big Brother, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, and others, use SMS technology to generate millions of dollars of revenue directly from the SMS votes that will be used to determine the winners.

more numbers…

A study of various SMS campaigns revealed the following outstanding results:

1. 61% response, 27% reply to a message, 19% visit a web site, 15% visit a store. 2. 94% of messages are read, which explains the high levels of response and brand impact.

During the last few years, SMS Messaging has developed into the most used service in the mobile data area. Also, when response rates, interactivity and cost to implement, are considered, SMS marketing is without doubt the most popular marketing method.

SMS is a high-response-rate method of communication, which can help to acquire and retain consumers, sell and promote products, drive loyalty, and reinforce branding efforts. Based on current growth figures, SMS Messaging will become an ever increasingly important component in future marketing communications.

Here are 6 reasons why:

1. SMS messages nearly always reach the recipient

Since there is a charge for sending SMS messages, they nearly always reach the intended recipient. SMS messages are forwarded to SMS Gateways, where they are stored until sent. This means, even if the recipient is not immediately available to receive them, or if the phone is powered off or out of range, messages are able to be delivered at the next opportunity. This high rate of deliverability makes SMS Messaging the most effective method of communication available.

2. SMS messages nearly always get read by the recipient

There’s nothing more irresistible, than the tone of an in-coming SMS message to the user anticipating, perhaps, a personal message from a friend. This reason alone nearly always guarantees that the SMS message that you send, will be read.

3. SMS messages nearly always get read within seconds of being received

Mobile phones are carried by their users wherever they go, even in the restroom. Thus when they receive a SMS message promoting a marketing offer from your business, they can’t resist checking it out and they will usually do this, within seconds of receiving your message.

4. SMS messages will usually get you an immediate response

Mobile users are usually addicted to their phones, whether they would like to admit it or not. A well crafted marketing offer, with an incentive to respond quickly via return SMS, will usually result in a response more quickly than via an e-mail or other type of marketing offer.

5. SMS messages are extremely cost effective

Compared to other methods, and considering it’s high deliverability, there is no contest. SMS Messaging is the most cost effective method of communicating and promoting of products and services currently available.

6. SMS messages can be either a 1 or 2 way communication

Using SMS Messaging to communicate or promote products offers a level of interactivity hard to replicate using other methods.

Case Studies

Case 1 – Around 2,500 mobile phone-users in the town of Lulea, Sweden, volunteered to receive SMS messages of special offers from 150 local organizations. The volunteers were sent an SMS for a well known fast food outlet’s burger offer, 25 per cent of the targeted users took up the offer.

Case 2 - A small club wanting to increase their patrons during slow nights during the week, decided to run theme nights. Having invested in maintaining a database of the clubs members, the club owner prepared and sent an SMS message to his member database, offering a 45% off discount for turning up with the text message. This was done the night prior to the event. The promotion was very successful with 29% of those sent the SMS message, taking up the offer and turning up.

Case 3 - A security business needed to automate and centralize their time sheet process for all of their remotely located security personnel. At each site a supervisor was supplied with a mobile phone with allocated SMS text credits. As security personnel arrived on site, the supervisor would text a keyword and an ID number. These SMS messages were sent to a central administration database, where they updated each officer’s individual timesheet. This process was repeated at the end of the day as officers left. The entire timesheet collection process, that used to take up to 2 days, was almost entirely eliminated. Further, because this process automatically updated the administration database, accuracy and prevention of loss of data was ensured.

Case 4 - A software service provider for media and advertising agents working in film, television and photography, wanted to provide casting agents a quicker and more efficient way to find out if their artists were available for castings. This provider leads the industry in casting solutions by combining, Web and SMS technology. All casting job details are entered into a database, and then queried for artist matches based on set criteria. Artists who match the criteria are then sent an SMS message instantly. Messages are only entered once, personalized, and sent to all of the relevant artists. When received, the artist simply replies with a yes or no. As the message is received at the administration database, records are updated immediately. Casting agents benefited by saving time, reducing costs and accurate recording of events.

SMS as an Effective Marketing Tool

Communication is vital in Marketing. SMS marketing makes it possible to directly interact with customers and provides a cost-effective method of data collection. Many leading companies have included this medium in their marketing strategies, and consequently, the number of companies using SMS continues to grow rapidly.

Client database

An important component of using SMS as a marketing tool is a client database. This database should be maintained with other relevant customer and contact information and of course should contain a valid mobile phone number. If applicable to your area, ensure that you are able to personalize your SMS messages by keeping first names in your database.

Ensure your database is opt-in

Perhaps the most vital factor when settings up an SMS campaign. Make sure your member database of mobile phone numbers is opted in. This pre approval for SMS communication ensures prevention of prosecution. Provision of a member opt out process will also help to avoid legal issues.

Keep it benefit focused and relevant

Ensure your marketing is relevant to your target. The relevance of the message is vital for success. Can the recipient see a real and tangible benefit to the message? If not, brand damage could result. Limit SMS messages to no more than 160 characters. Focus your message on benefits and don’t ramble. If messages are more than 160 characters, a second SMS will need to be sent. Avoid this. In addition to doubling the cost, the recipient may be irritated and discard the entire message.

Ensure interactivity by Inviting participation

SMS Messaging is an interactive medium. Invite participation through polls, logos, games, ring tones or vouchers. Use interactivity to obtain information for precisely targeted future promotions. Stick to the tried and proven techniques of database marketing Standard database marketing techniques and principles, as used by other marketing mediums, are what SMS Messaging requires. The marketing database should be dissected by various factors as required by particular businesses, including, gender, age, interests, location, purchasing patterns and frequency.

Create confidence with a Sender ID

The presence of a sender ID is useful as it invokes confidence with the recipient, as the receiver knows the source of the received message. A company name, brand or trade-mark name should always be included in the body of the text message.

SMS is a personal tool - Respect it

SMS marketing places your brand and message directly to a tool, that consumers consider highly personal. Marketers need to respect this method of communication and avoid over using the medium. Exercise restraint, and avoid jeopardizing your legal position to use SMS Messaging as a future marketing tool.

SMS as an Effective Communication Tool

SMS Messaging is widely accepted as the most popular and effective communication tool with a movable audience.

Does anyone remember out and about freedom?

We were free to roam outside of our homes to wander into adventure, able to get side tracked on any number of mysterious distractions. "I am going out!" was the call. No one could contact me unless they ran into me.

These days, I never leave home without my mobile phone, and the fact is that I hardly go anywhere without it. I am definitely not alone. 2 billion people have these things, and 4 billion or so more people want them, and will have them.

There are some exceptions to my rule, and some places that my mobile phone does not go. My toilet, is one of those places, and about the only sanctuary I have left. Now this is not everyone's rule or sanctuary. I have a friend who routinely answers his phone whilst he is in the throne room. The echo gives him away every time, but he makes no apologies.

"Ah hang on a sec… I just have to…"

Another friend told me the other day that his ex girlfriend ('ex' for a number of reasons), once whilst on top during their emotional physical energy exchange extravaganza, had the skill set and inclination to reach over, remain in position, pick up her phone, and answer when it rang.

Apparently not a beat was missed, in the call, or in her stride.

Now my buddy likes to think that she was talented, and not that, well, he wasn't. He does slyly give away that he even tried to cause a hiccup in her conversation voice by various means during the call. But no, she remained rock solid!

Now when I call people I start to wonder on the possibilities of what they may really be up too? Oh well, all my friend said was that he can't wait until she gets a new mobile with video call… As long as he doesn't have to subscribe!

My 'phone', not that it really is just a phone anymore, is multi talented.

Mine can tell me with a reminder when I have to scratch my balls. Not that I really need a reminder, but it's a handy function. My 'phone' can also take a picture of my balls, a video of my balls, and it can send my ball content by picture message or email, to any number of friends all at the press of a few buttons.

But no, the fun doesn't stop completely with my balls. My mobile can also tune in the radio, play song tracks in mp3, and connect to the mobile internet.

Phone?

No. Not any longer. These things are mobile entertainment units and powerfull communication devices. The smaller they go, the more that seems to be packed in, and I guess the point that I am trying to make is that you can't get away from them!

On the toilet or in the middle of it, where ever you may be, these mini computers are connecting up the planet from one toilet to another.

Out and about freedom? Sanctuaries?

Gone. So what does all this mean?

You can connect with anyone, anywhere on the planet, where ever they may be, 24/7, directly into their pockets, charge them money, send them information, remind them to scratch their balls, send them images of itchy balls, interrupt a really good climax, and or all any and all of the above…

So long as they have a mobile.

Ha!

That's the catch! They have to have a mobile. Now let's see… There are only… well… 2 billion people with them, and only about 4 billion more that want them.

Hmmm…

I wish I had something I wanted to tell billions of people who are almost guaranteed to notice. Does anyone remember out and about freedom?

These days, I never leave home without my mobile phone, and the fact is that I hardly go anywhere without it. I am definitely not alone. 2 billion people have these things, and 4 billion or so more people want them, and will have them.

A long, long time ago in a Nokia factory far far away the first mobile cell phone was build. And with the birth of that cell phone the first ringtone was born: The Nokia Tune. This Nokia tune was the first ringtone of them all, and who could have guessed that it would create a multi billion dollar business in the next few years...

The first ringtone was the nokia tune, this ringtone was a simple one-melodic monophonic ringtone. And it created a huge product to a -then- small market. But the market grew bigger and soon everyone had a mobile cell phone. And then the ringtones became a big business because everyone wanted his/hers own ringtone to personalize their phone. The monophonic ringtones were a big blast in the music industry and the follow-up polyphonic ringtones were even bigger then those monophonic ringtones. The polyphonic ringtones market grew and grew as there came more and more mobile cell phone users. And soon it was time for a new product to introduce to the market: realtones...

Realtones are now the biggest hit in Europe and Asia and will soon be in the USA as well. The newest mobile cell phones support realtones and mp3 sounds. Realtones are based on mp3, and other music formats. They're no longer simple midi files. But real songs! From the real artists! The realtone is hot at the moment and is only getting hotter and hotter. Because a lot of phones still do not support them. Only the newest high-tech phones support realtones. But in a few years when there are no new mobile cell phones available that don't support realtones everyone will focus on the realtones. And this business niche will only grow in the future of mobile entertainment. Realtones are already available all over the globe, realtones websites are popping up on the Internet like crazy. And the customers keep buying new realtones for their mobile cell phones. But the realtones still are quite expensive, they're even more expensive then the full songs bought on Itunes or other online download shops. In fact for the price of one realtone you could easily buy the whole song, and the realtone is only 30 seconds of the song. Also a realtone costs twice as much as the polyphonic ringtone or the monophonic ringtone. But there are still a lot of people buying them.

A different sort of realtones are the nametones. Nametones are realtones where you get called by your name. It isn't a real song of a popular artist but it's a standard song but with your name in it. Something like: Hey Pete your cell phone rings, pick it up!

You have different sorts of nametones, there are pop nametones, bubblin nametones, hardcore nametones, r&b nametones and a lot more genres to choose from. But these nametones are mp3 based so your mobile cell phone has to support realtones to play them on your mobile cell phone. Also the nametones are mostly the same price as the realtones.

So if you look at the past when the monophonic ringtones were a huge hype in the mobile entertainment business, and later on the polyphonic ringtones became huge. The realtones and nametones will probably be the next huge mobile entertainment hype.

Have you ever tried to compare mobile phone deals on offer on the market place? You probably already know that these deals often encompass all sorts of free minutes, phone models, free tariff terms, cash backs and all sort of other inducements.

Last month, there were 20,000 mobile phone deals available in UK alone. Amazingly, most originate from 5 phone companies, which are Vodafone, T-mobile, Orange, O2, BT and 3 and sold by their affiliates and partners in all shapes and forms.

So if you are looking to find a perfect deal that suits your life style then you may have to do your research well. The basic deal involves a mobile phone and a certain number of free minutes a month for a fixed monthly price over a term of 12 or 18 months. But the But a consumer friendly deal also includes tariff that does not penalise with extortionate charges if you go over the allocated minutes, calling cross networks (mobile phones on other networks), 12 month contract as opposed to tying the consumer for 18 or 24 months, and a decent mobile phone.

And then some deals can also offer inducements, like free rental for a fixed term of the contract, or cash back of whatever you paid in monthly contract fee at the end of the term; freebies like DVD players, ipods, camcorders and so on.

Can you see the permutations and combinations that involve a good deal? Sadly, all these ingredients of a perfect deal are not available to every one on a platter since they need a bit of legwork. Often you have to negotiate or haggle with retailers and inform them that their competitors are offering 'x' as a freebee, and so on.

Unless you have enough time and will power to go through reams of catalogues of various retailers or search numerous websites on Internet, there is no easy way to get an ideal mobile phone deal. Unless you use tools that in tern use cutting edge technologies to extract deals from almost all mobile phone retail sources in UK and present the most recent deal according to your own criteria.

Internet offers us access to the world. Information derived from Internet is easy. However the Quality information is not. It takes a lot of effort and determination on the part of those who make this happen to bring unbiased comparison of what is on offer.

Is that good for the consumer? You bet. Every one wants their Dollar, Euro or Pound to go as far as possible. The feeling of getting the best deal possible must rate amongst the best feelings.

I recently managed to get a phone model I really wanted, at a price that could not get any better. To be exact, it was one of the latest phone models, and the price - no cost over the term of the contract. Since phone and connection came free as well, it ended up costing me nothing to own latest model of a mobile phone and use it for 500 minutes every month (that is more than 8 hours) to any network, any tie within UK. This deal was being offered on Vodafone tariff (world's largest mobile phone company), by an online retailer so off the mainstream that I could not have found them without knowing about them in the first place.

To wrap up, Internet offers choices to mankind never possible in the entire human history. But these choices come at a cost - time. It is a double edged sword. Search for a term on search engine and you get so many choices that you need an entire year to find the best choice for your circumstances.

Or you use one of the specialist mobile phone comparison sites that act as niche search engines, aggregating data from all top companies and websites on a daily basis and present them to the user according to the set criteria. Is that a time saver? You bet.

A word of warning though! Stay away from sites that are trying to sell you some thing, because they are not acting in your best interest. Sites that just compare and offer information without bias are the ones that you need to target if you want to find the best deal there is.

It’s amazing to look at the cellular phone industry today compared to 10 years ago. Ten years ago, the first person in our ‘group’ got a cell phone and what a HUGE even that was! Ten years ago, it was big news and any plan that had unlimited ‘regional calling’ was a big deal. Forget about unlimited nationwide calling, just getting unlimited calling in your STATE was awesome!

Now look at it today. It’s the status quo, and if we’re going to shell out a couple of hundred dollars for a cell phone, we expect it to do all sorts of functions in addition to folding our laundry. It still impresses me how much a part of not just daily business life the cell phone has become; but daily personal life, as well.

The issue today is that, with so many providers and plans and phones, how do we know if we’re getting a good deal? We can’t just go to one store or make one phone call or go to one site, and know that we are getting the best and/or only deal. Today, there are wholesalers, outlets, kiosks, discount web sites, resellers, constant store sales, etc. We could very easily by a blackberry today and see it somewhere else 1 month later for $100-$200 less.

So how do we know if we’re getting a good price? How do we know where to look?

Well, there are a couple of options out there, so relax and read on:

1. If you do decide to buy from a store or an outlet/kiosk, just ask them outright if this is the best deal. If they answer yes, then ask them for some kind of guarantee to ensure your sale and repeat business. (i.e. matching the difference on a lower price, with proof, within 21-30 days of purchasing the phone).

2. Shop Around. In general, the very basic flip phones and open face phone are mass produced these days. That means that these are the phones the cell phone companies will target for sales and discounts. As a basic rule, basic flip phones and open face phones can be found for FREE or even for PROFIT (i.e. pay $50 and get a $100 rebate). This is not uncommon; you just have to know where to find these deals.

3.
a. Do not shop at an exclusive retailer. If you shop at a store that only markets one provider, this is usually where the prices are highest. You have no other deals in front of you to compare against, and you’re on their territory. This is where they are best in closing a sale and convincing you that they are giving you a great deal, regardless of whether or not you saw the phone elsewhere for less.
b. Shop at a dealer (or website) that markets multiple providers. The more the better. This is usually where you’ll find the best deals – from wholesalers. If you take a quick look at my site below, you'll see a great example of that.

You work hard for you money, spend a little extra time researching and asking around and you’ll be amazed at the deals you can find. Why pay $100-$200 for a phone when you can get that for free? Down the road, you’ll save your money and you’ll also share this information with friends and family. $50, $100 per person adds up quickly!

Reminiscent of the old "self-destruct" messages and exploding shoe phones of Maxwell Smart, the cell phone industry introduces a "killer" service; Remote "Destruct" for Cell Phones...

While not really an explosive solution to cell phone theft deterrent, it is pretty amazing. A London-based technology company has developed "Remote XT", a new security software program that can trigger a stolen cell phone to create an ear-piercing alarm and lock itself when activated. In addition, this service can also wipe all the data contained within the phone.

The usefulness of such a service is readily apparent. No doubt this technology will find its way into anything that can be connected to a communications network despite the small service charge associated with it.

In a time where people are losing their laptops, PDAs, cell phones and other storage devices with great frequency, this service will quickly become a governmental and corporate given. I can't imagine any entity that harbors sensitive data doing without it.

While the data contained on my phone isn't going to cause any National Security Risks if it falls into the hands of a non-do-gooder, it would bring me a GREAT SENSE OF SATISFACTION to know that I could hit the "nuke button" if presented with such a circumstance. A smile comes to my face as I can readily imagine the face of the thief when my cell phone's anti-theft alarm "goes off" and the phone is rendered completely useless and unsellable!

Have you ever been seated in a restaurant, already to eat your dinner, when your cell phone rang? Do you answer it and talk to whoever is on the other line or do you reach out and mute it, not wanting to disturb anyone? The correct thing to do would be to turn your cell phone off when you go into a restaurant or another place where your phone calls may disturb others. However, if you forgot to turn it off and it rings, mute it so others do not have to hear it.

While cell phones have made our lives easier, they have also made it possible to annoy others. Many individuals think nothing of using their cells phones in public places, such as the subway, restaurant, or even a live performance. The most important thing to remember, however, is that it is not the cell phone that is causing these problems. It is the cell phone user. If you are the owner of a cell phone, you may want to consider getting to know the proper cell phone etiquette.

When you have a cell phone, it is very important to not talk on your phone when you are in restaurants, museums, libraries, or other places where quiet is expected. Such places include hospitals, churches, and waiting rooms. The fact is if you are in an enclosed public place, be safe and do not use your cell phone. If, however, it is an emergency and you must talk to on your phone, it is best to keep at least a ten to fifteen-foot distance from anyone else while you are talking. The most important thing to remember is to use common sense when you have a cell phone.

With the wide availability of ring tones for your phone, many people are often choosing those that are loud and unique. However, just because you like it, doesn't mean anyone else will. If you are going to have your cell phone on in public, make sure you choose a ring tone that is not too loud and one that is not too annoying. It's important to remember that while you may need to take a call, you don't need to annoy anyone or disrupt someone's concentration.

Another important thing to consider when using your cell phone is to keep your conversations short and simple. By telling the person on the other end that you are on a cell phone, they should understand you wish to keep the call short. You will also want to remember that if you are in a public place, you do not want to talk about your personal business or say things that others should not hear or that you don't want repeated. You never know who could be listening in when you talk on a cell phone in public.

There are several countries, including Australia, Germany, and Japan that have banned the use of cell phones while driving unless you have a hands-free unit. Many states in the United States have banned cell phones when driving, as well. If you live in a state that does allow the use of cell phones while driving, make sure you take proper precautions to allow for your safety and the safety of others.

With the invention of text messaging, many find communicating with others in public much easier and definitely more private. However, there are certain guidelines you should follow when text messaging, as well.

First of all, you know that annoying little sound that states you have a new text message? The best thing you can do is to put it on mute. This is how kids in classes get away with texting during classes without getting caught. You can prevent yourself from annoying anyone by simply silencing your message alarm. With the advanced technology of the cell phone, you'll find many are also able to download music and users can play their music anytime and anywhere. It's important to remember that while you love a certain type of music, others may not.

Is it within proper etiquette to send someone a text message when you are in a public place such as a restaurant or library? Generally, you need to remember that if you are not bothering someone, don't worry about it. If, however, you're sitting in the front row of a lecture and you're bent over texting someone on your cell phone, the lecturer may get a little irritated that you're not paying attention and you may want to put your cell phone up and plan to text message someone later. If it is one that must be sent, gracefully exit the room and find a quiet spot to send it.

One of the worst possible things you can do when text messaging is to be driving. Believe it or not, there are people who try to make sure they are pressing the right buttons and completely forget they should be looking at where they are going. This needs no explanation to say what could happen.

The fact is text messaging is a great way to communicate and you do not have to bother someone when you communicate this way. No one has to listen to a one-sided conversation or be interrupted by someone yelling, "Can you hear me now?" Text messaging has definitely made life much easier for all.
