SMS Marketing
Despite the rise in mobile messaging applications, SMS still proves to be the most convenient way for product promotion. The increasing importance of text messaging hammers home the idea that this 20-year-old marketing strategy is here to stay.

Product Promotion With SMS Marketing
Run Campaigns and Promotional offers
Businesses can easily run campaigns to product promotion and even support their campaigns with incentives and offers.
For example:
- “Come join us with a cup of tea and some freshly baked cupcakes at Fifi’s Oven, 8-10 am tomorrow!”
• “Happy Independence day!!! Celebrate by taking an extra 20% off on purchases. Visit our Instagram page to place your order @thecatfishstore”
Appointment Reminders
If you own a service-oriented business such as an eye clinic where you have to arrange an appointment with your customers, in such cases a simple appointment reminder text can help you considerably bring down the number of no-shows, not to mention enhance customer experience.
For Instance, this is another good sample for your product promotion:
Hi Ronke, you have an appointment @ 12 p.m. at The Eye Clinic.
Warm Regards,
Dr. Funmi@theEyeClinic
This is how text messaging helps your business stay connected with your existing customers while engaging in product promotion. That is, by offering ongoing service, helping them whenever there is a need, and more importantly, creating upselling opportunities.
Sure enough, you could automate these messages. But then, it will be difficult to ensure every automated promo is personal, friendly and relevant. These are some of the simple ways business SMS could boost customer value and engagement.
Also, SMS ads are free from advertising and spam unlike other marketing channels such as email and their likes that are completely overrun by advertising and spam.
