SMS Marketing can really be used to its ultimate advantage now summer has arrived. With so many events & festivals currently taking place, a simple Text Message can get the word (and buzz!) out there, helping to promote the occasion and reach an even wider audience. Many event organisers are noticing the importance of sms marketing and mobile interaction prior to, during and after events, by sending updates for show times, changes in the event schedule and special offers. Exhibition organisers and the many thousands of traders attending these events are also benefiting from mobile marketing in the same way. With so many events now encouraging mobile phone usage with charging stations and WiFi hotspots, more and more people feel comfortable taking their mobile phones with them. Good news as they will be more engaged and receptive to receiving updates on the event via SMS. This provides a unique platform for businesses, particularly in the event industry to promote their shows and products. Further to this Hotels and Restaurants can also follow this winning formula to attract people to advise of a promotion or an event being held at their venue.
With TextAnywhere you can send or schedule Bulk SMS Text updates via Text Campaign, or with our unique Text Inbound application, detail a Text Back number on flyers or adverts which will drive traffic to specifically generated event pages, post sponsor logos or provide helpful directions. Using SMS marketing tools will increase your attendance and marketing reach for your event or festival by providing your mobile attendees access to quick relevant information on the go.
With this communication organisers have a better opportunity to get people to opt-in for other subscriptions. This then adds to the size and effectiveness of your database for future SMS services and marketing opportunities. Also, by texting at regular intervals, customers are reminded of products or services which help keep customers from straying to competitors.
Utilising SMS services allows critical event information to be shared quickly, as well as creative lead generation via interactive texting which can only be of benefit to the attendee and event promoter alike.
