    Well even i think that email marketing is quite better way to promote your website rather than sms.

    I doubt you will have very good results with SMS marketing. Its probably much better to stick to email marketing. SMS marketing doesn't provide a convenient means for SMS recipients to view your online computer, they must wait until they have the chance to access internet via a computer.

    More and more people are using iPhone's and other web phones so as long as it's not flash or java intense pages he/she should be ok. I've even made purchases off of my iPhone!

    But using Sms Sender software you may not hit the target of actual customers you want!

    I have used SMS Chain stuff! only 15% thing works....

    If you want to kill your business then proceed with sms marketing sotware. You get spam everywhere but when it's on your cell phone, that's when most people draw the line. Unless you have double opted-in customers/clients that wants to get a text message about your services, never send them an unwanted sms. Not only is it annoying but it is also costing them money for those who do not have unlimited text plan. If you buy a list or use a service from an existing sms ad provider, you will be in compliance with the law but will hurt your company's image. The only way is to send it to your own customers who WANTED information to begin with.

    hey i think you have choose new way to promote your website.but if get a software you need moblie number.and sending sms to any number is very harmful and against rule and its easy catchable.so you need bulk sms sender to sender who send sms for you.its cost you.instead of this try email marketing is good ,almost free like only but if you premium service it cost you.and its difficult to catchable for general public.

    Don't do SMS marketing! It is very hard to achieve pleasant results.

    It is very hard to get the desired results. The worst thing is that, you can not have targeted numbers.

    I too agree that you will not get the results you are hoping for. I definitely would not put all your eggs in one basket and waste your time and energy only focusing on sms marketing. So, if you are still going to go ahead with this, make sure you are using a combination of other sure fire techniques as well.
