    Honestly speaking, SMS marketing is very very restricted to a Niche of not larger than 1000 people. So you're very much restricting your websites capabilities. You might want to look into email marketing?

    Hello there! As far as I know, text message marketing can be used in all niches mainly because mobile phone owners are from different places/countries, different industries, different demographics. Thus, whatever your niche is, you will surely gain benefit from this marketing tool. Visit: textmagic.com

    @Adnan959 Uhm - no! sms marketing is fantastic! it gives you 97% open rates with double than email marketing for response rates too. It can be used in ANY NICHE, provided you do it correctly and are offering value. I'm regularly helping clients with sms marketing and they are all now raving about it and happy to do business with me. Its certainly a cost effective way to go if you know what youre doing with it. Perhaps you've just had a bad experience or don't know how to make it work.

    @showkatahmad Internationally may be a bit harder, but on a local area it kicks booty! However, you've got to know what your doing and really offer what the prospects are wanting.

    Agreed. The open rate of the msgs are great, and the fact that you can reach your customer when they are out means that you can reach them anywhere. As with any niche, you can make an offer or a giveaway to get them to join your mobile list. Using opt-in mailing lists, your quality of customers are better and more responsive as well.

    Many mobile marketing providers are quite expensive and usually charge by the msg or bytes.

    But, I found one that has a simple interface, provides unlimited SMS messages and the ability tp build a mobile site/app as well. I would recommend mobile marketing highly.

    Yeah, that's a fairly inaccurate statement made above, mobile marketing is growing at a rapid pace in the United States.
