Advertising agencies understand the many benefits of text marketing. Most consumers carry their cell phones with them everywhere they go and, according to statistics, more than 95 percent of text messages are opened within minutes of receipt. Mass texting allows advertisers to deliver short, effective campaigns without spending major ad dollars. Leading provider, TellMyCell, aims to educate small-business providers about the many benefits of mass texting, so they can use the same text marketing techniques use by advertising agencies while staying within their limited marketing budgets.

October 2011 – Leading mass texting provider TellMyCell has made a helpful FAQ about text marketing and its many benefits available on its website. A small-business owner who wants to learn the ins and outs of mass texting can simply visit http://www.tellmycell.com and be ready to launch his own text marketing campaign in no time. The questions and answers range from simple to the more complex, and once the small-business owner has worked his way through the FAQ, he is invited to sign up for a free trial of TellMyCell’s services.

Here are three examples of basic questions and their helpful answers:

Q: Do my contacts pay to receive text messages?
A: Every carrier offers different text messaging packages, but most consumers either have unlimited messaging plans or plans that include large numbers of messages per month.

Q: How many characters may I include in a text message?
A: A standard text message is limited to 160 characters. “Characters” means letters, numbers, spaces, symbols and punctuation.

On the more complex side, TellMyCell provides answers to frequently asked questions about keyword usage within text marketing campaigns:

Q: What is a keyword?
A: A keyword is a short word (which may include numbers) that customers send as a text message to a short code. Tie short codes and keywords together and you have the basis of an SMS marketing campaign. A typical call to action would be: “Text SAVER to 88202 to sign up for our VIP sale alert list.”

TellMyCell goes on to explain in its FAQ page how the sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, software handles mass texting campaigns with or without keywords. It even offers suggestions on how to tie keywords into print and online advertising campaigns.

Whether small-business owners decide to launch mass texting campaigns with TellMyCell or not, the provider wants to ensure they have the information needed to make an informed decision. However, More often than not, small-business owners who read through TellMyCell’s FAQ opt for the free trail of the provider’s services.
