Furture of SMS Marketing

Emerging-technology research firm Forrester Research has stated that European marketers will have to carefully plan any SMS campaign to get the desired response.

SMS messages can currently reach two-thirds of the 250m mobile phone owners in Europe. According to Forrester, early adopters have experienced response rates five times higher than direct mail. Long term use will reportedly require careful campaign planning however.

A survey conducted by Forrester found that 21% of companies that took part use SMS marketing occasionally while 12% have trialled it. Overall, 56% plan regular SMS use in 2003 and will devote on average 7% of their budget to it.

  • Nearly one third of these companies plan to spend more than 10% percent of their marketing budgets on advertising in the text SMS marketing medium.
