Mobile phone users have surpassed the number of Internet users by at least two times. Think about it. We leave the house with three things, our cell phone, our wallet and our keys.

The answer is that most businesses haven't really thought about it. Many businesses probably are not aware how easy it is to advertise through this medium.
Text messages should be short and sweet. Anyone who texts knows this. Text marketing should be done quite the same way. There can be a teaser line and then provide information or a teaser text can be sent and then a text containing useful information could be sent as a follow-up to keep the interest of the mobile user.
Being one of the least expensive ways to advertise, small businesses would probably benefit the most. The great thing about text messages is that they can either be used to target small groups of people or even whole cities. Texting is instantaneous and quick.
