Text Message Marketing For Radio Stations
What do you take with you when you walk out of your house in the morning
? Definitely, a cell phone! In the US, cell phones have now surpassed internet connections. Getting in touch with people via emails is now a thing of the past. Today, almost 50% of written communication is done via text messaging.
The biggest advantage of mobile marketing is that you can always stay connected with your audience. Text messaging has become one of the most popular ways of communication as it is quick, easy and doesn't cost too much. So if any radio station does not facilitate text messaging service, then they are perhaps missing out on the most influential medium of advertising. When people are commuting or are not at their office desks, then radio and cell phone are the only means to reaching these people.
Radio listeners send text messages to the radio stations to request songs, gain entry into some contests, and get the play lists from the station. Now listeners no more have to dial any number and wait frustratingly in queues, only to get disconnected. With text messaging, listeners can quickly gain entry into the contest held by a radio station. Mobile marketing or mobile advertising gives listeners a new way to communicate with the radio station anytime, anywhere.
