TEXT MESSAGING FOR BUSINESS
![Page 7: SMS, Voice, and Video Mobile Messaging for Small Businesses](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061214/5499228db47959aa468b4718/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
TEXT MESSAGING FOR BUSINESS
• Your message controls the screen: On a website, your ad takes up only a tiny portion of the screen, competing with the website’s content, search results, or other ads. Chances are it wasn’t actually seen (or noticed). On the other hand, even if a text message link isn’t clicked on, and even if the text gets deleted, chances are, it was still read.
• Faster interaction - a 2010 study by MobileSquared for Singlepoint reveals that 98% of all text messages are read, with 90% are read within the first three minutes of being received.
