We are not talking about bulk messaging, but rather inbound SMS marketing, where you publish a keyword and a short code, combined with a compelling reason for your potential customer to send your business a text message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we&#8217;ve analysed&nbsp;5 ways in which an inbound business text solution trumps other approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Bulk Messaging<\/strong> &#8211; Sending out reams of text messages to a list of mobile numbers that you&#8217;ve collected or purchased will not only get a very poor response, but it is untargeted, hard to measure and runs the risk of irritating the recipients. <em>Ouch!<\/em><\/li><li><strong>In App Advertising <\/strong>&#8211; Another method of mobile marketing that delivers very small returns.

A good leafleting campaign will get results and deliver an ROI. But how about making them more effective? A <em>&#8216;call to action<\/em>&#8216; in the form of an inbound SMS campaign included within the leaflet will increase its effectiveness, qualify your leads for you, and give your target audience a simple way of expressing an interest. <em>Multi-channel!<\/em><\/li><li><strong>Vouchers<\/strong> &#8211; There are many ways of discounting vouchers, whether that&#8217;s a &#8216;cut out&#8217;, or a code that is emailed or broadcast, we all love a voucher and a discount. An inbound text campaign enables you to collect mobile numbers of everyone who uses the campaign to request a voucher. Add it to your database, give them a call, close that sale. <em>Discountastic!<\/em><\/li><li><strong>QR Codes <\/strong>&#8211; Despite some obvious shortcomings and having been around for more than a decade, QR codes are starting to gain some momentum, however, only a minority of consumers know what they are, let only have a&nbsp;mobile that is setup to scan them.
