Retail
Mobile Marketing is ideal for increasing customer traffic and for building a database for future promotions. When a customer sees your promotional offer they send your keyword to a short code and receive a response. SMS Marketing can increase your retail business customer base and give them a reason to come back by texting them coupons or other relevant information they can receive on their mobile phone.

In addition, the Real Estate Agent also receives a text message and an email with the phone # of the prospect while they are still in front of the house. The agent now is connected with a potential client, who is looking to purchase a home in the area, who you normally wouldn’t even know existed.
