Company Allows Businesses to Create Active Text Message Marketing Campaign in Ten Minutes
By: Valerie Carson - SignalSMS™
Boston, Massachusetts, September 5, 2008 – SignalSMS™ is launching their new website to bring businesses opportunities for text message marketing
campaigns on September 5, 2008. The company will allow any business to create and launch an active text message marketing campaign in as
little as ten minutes.
After researching options on SignalSMS.com, users may make a single phone call to register and prepay for a promotional text keyword and shared short code to send the
keyword to. This program, SignalNOW™, allows the buyer to designate a maximum amount of text responses they wish to purchase per month, priced per text.
SignalNOW™ can take as little as ten minutes and upon completion the user is left with an active keyword and short code, ready to be distributed.
Text message marketing technology can be used to promote brand awareness, build customer contact lists, and provide additional information to consumers.
The process begins with a customer texting a keyword (a seven digit message) to a given five digit number in order to receive a response text containing a
coupon, promotional information, link to a photo, or whatever the sponsoring business has chosen to be included in said response. As they see fit, the purchaser
may update and adjust the response text that mobile phone users receive. They may also offer mobile phone users opportunities to "opt in" for future
communications such as text alerts. Businesses may place "codes" in their store, on their website, on fliers, in ads, or wherever they choose.
Bob Cote, president of SignalSMS™ said, "Text message marketing is going to be huge. More people have cell phones than have the internet. I think a lot of
people are going to be looking for a way to set themselves up with an SMS program without going through all the paperwork and run-around phone calls, so
having the option to do it all in a short phone call to one knowledgable person is going to appeal to them." Cote is also the president and founder of web development firm Brattle
Consulting Group, Inc. He developed the technology and system behind SignalSMS™.
