Texting is a modern part of everyday life for both
individuals and businesses. Successful businesses will target their audiences
very specifically, which in this day and age, means communicating through text
messages. But how, exactly, did texting become the main form of communication?
In The Beginning
Though the very first text
message was sent in 1992, texting didn’t really become popular until the early
2000s. Kids were all over it. The idea that you could send an instant message
to someone through their phone was amazing! It seemed way easier than calling
and leaving a message because you didn’t have to wait while the phone rings.
Then, if you were to leave a message, you would have no quick confirmation that
they got it, unless they called you back and left you a message too. On top of
that, it is way easier to communicate times, dates, names, and places when you
can just type them in a text instead of hoping the person on the other end of
the line heard the right information. Communicating is just easier when you can
instantly send information to someone.
Making It Easy
The ease of texting information
led to a huge decrease in phone calls. In fact, in 2007, more texts were sent
than phone calls for the first time ever, according to Rebtel.com. Now, we are
to the point where texting is our main form of communication. It is used
between people for conversation, and businesses now use it to offer deals and
bargains to their loyal customers.
Why Use Texting?
For individuals, using texting means you will
get the right information to your friends. It means you can check something
very quickly without having to make the other person on the other end of the
line wait for you. It is a much more efficient way to talk to friends and make
plans.
For businesses, texting is the best way to
tell your loyal customers that you appreciate them. It is the best way to offer
a quick deal when they need a pick me up. When there is no business, you can
encourage people to come in. Talk to your customers and get them excited about
what you have to offer. No matter what you are trying to sell, texting will
benefit you.
