Text Message Marketing To Include Pictures And Video

As the use of mobile devices and mobile messaging continues to skyrocket, more and more businesses are turning to mobile marketing services to begin communicating with customers via text. Until now these texts were primarily limited to reminders, news alerts, special offers, coupons, and product information. But a mobile marketing company called TXTImpact is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in SMS marketing. They are introducing something they call multimedia messaging service (MMS) messaging.

What Is MMS Messaging?
According to TXTImpact, MMS messaging will allow businesses to include pictures and even videos with the texts they send to their customers. Essentially anyone who owns a phone with a camera can send or receive MMS messages. If a company wants to send their loyal customers a video introducing a new product, they can do it with the push of a button.

This technology can also be used in reverse. For instance, a business can hold a video or photo competition and people can submit their entries via MMS message.

What This Means For The Mobile Marketing Industry
MMS marketing breathes new life into the mobile marketing industry. It will allow businesses to connect with customers on a more personal level. MMS messaging will allow for more powerful and effective marketing campaigns. And of course, it will continue to stimulate more innovations in the mobile marketing industry.

  1. I also would be using the marketing methods that are low cost and have just been making the list of the best options. I am quite interested in the app to send sms to slack because it is very affordable and super easy to use. Actually, I have seen the demo videos and hoping that the app will help me as well.
