In keeping with our commitment to remain at the forefront of technological advances in our field, Brattle Consulting Group recently launched a new text message marketing business called SignalSMS™.  The new site, www.SignalSMS.com, will allow any business to create and launch an active text message marketing campaign in as little as ten minutes.

Although it is a fairly new concept in the world of business and marketing, text message marketing is growing quickly. SMS (text message) marketing technology can be used to promote brand awareness, build customer contact lists, and provide additional information to consumers. The process begins with a customer texting a keyword (a seven digit message) to a five digit number. In return, they receive a response text containing a coupon, promotional information, link to a photo, or whatever else the sponsoring business has chosen to be included in said response. As they see fit, the purchaser may update and adjust the response text that mobile phone users receive. They may also offer mobile phone users opportunities to “opt in” for future communications such as text alerts. Businesses may place “codes” in their store, on their website, on fliers, in ads, or wherever they choose.

The most prominent difference between SignalSMS™ and other SMS marketing businesses is our usability. Firstly, SignalSMS.com offers the straightforwardness of a short phone call during which any business may register and prepay for a promotional text keyword and shared short code to send the keyword to. This program, SignalNOW™, allows the buyer to designate a maximum amount of text responses they wish to purchase per month, priced per text. SignalNOW™ can take as little as ten minutes and upon completion the user is left with an active keyword and short code, ready to be distributed. (For our enterprise-level clients, we offer the more wide-ranging and customized SignalPRISE™ — visit SignalSMS.com to learn more.)  Beyond the initial ease of getting started, SignalSMS provides comprehensive assistance throughout your entire text message campaign. As we hope you have already experienced through Brattle, we are proud to offer you both outstanding customer service and qualified technical assistance.

And when we say qualified, we mean it. Bob Cote, president of Brattle, independently developed the technology and system behind SignalSMS™, which means his complete expertise is at your service. Keeping in mind that more people are now connected via their cell phones than through a home internet provider, it is safe to say that SMS marketing is the next step for promotions, mass-communications, and advertising.
