There may be other café’s in the area but the SMS messaging has placed this specific café in the minds of consumers and offered them a coupon.

Mobile advertising companies use mobile marketing in conjunction with email marketing campaigns. These two forms of mass marketing work well together. Analytic data which is collected through both SMS and Email marketing provides valuable information that help to streamline and increase effectiveness of future marketing campaigns. SMS marketing can be just as effective in driving consumers to websites. The use of the embedded link works well with smart phones by making it easy for consumers to respond to advertising. Where email may fail to get a response a follow up message through SMS can not only reach consumers but also direct them.
