A lot of people just do not understand this type of advertising. you can get a text message marketing campaign up and running in a matter of minutes.

Mobile marketing - what is it?

Basically you get signed up through a service and when you have a special running for the day, you tell your service what you're offering and the message you want sent out. By offering a really good deal or coupon you get more people coming into your business to show the coupon they have on their phone for a big discount on your service or product.

The coupon is sent to your prospective client via cell phone and they can redeem it simply by showing it to the waiter/waitress or a secretary. It is that easy!

You can usually find a service that provides this for between 5 and 8 cents per text.

Obviously, the less you pay for the texting service the less you will have in the way of tools such as stats. most mobile marketing services offer good stats so you can see who is signing up for your list and who is opting out.

The key is to have real good offers that the potential clients will think are worth their time to stop by and make a purchase.

Here is a list of business types that are perfect for this type of advertising.

Coffee houses/Espresso stands
Hair salons
Dentists/Doctors
Real Estate agents
Any place that serves food

You could send out a text saying "come in and get a free desert with the purchase of a lunch" and have a full house by noon.

All the patron has to do is show the text message to the waiter to get the free desert. It's that easy!

You see, people in this day and age want a deal! You just make sure that you are the one in your local giving the best one in the best way.

So many businesses are missing out on extra revenue by not using this easy advertising strategy. For the money you put into Yellow page ads or Radio, you could have an effective text messaging campaign running and making you MORE money!

Give it a try and watch your profits skyrocket!
