Customers of every generation now carry smartphones and are very comfortable accessing the internet from their mobile devices. And most of them are sending and receiving text messages daily as a preferred communication method.

Multiple studies have shown that smartphone users are more engaged with text messages than other mobile marketing channels such as email or social media. It makes sense when it is so easy to program a phone to sound an alert or push a notification whenever a new text message arrives. And, because text messages are usually the start or continuation of a conversation, most of them are read within a few minutes of delivery.

Businesses have been using text messaging for years to easily communicate with and market to customers and clients with amazing results. With two-way texting and click-to-call or chat-to-text options available to seamlessly connect you with clients, now is the right time for your business to explore new text-call-chat technology options for your services.
