Using Shortcodes in Text Marketing

Text marketing is one of the most famous marketing strategies that most companies are using. Reality shows on TV especially American Idol, Deal or No Deal, etc. has always a text-to-win, text-to-vote promo in which participants are ask to send their votes to a 5-digit phone number. Just like anyone else, I am also curious as to how and where they get those numbers.

Through Cellit Mobile Marketing website, I knew that there are some companies that can help businesses even the small companies to set-up their own 5-digit phone numbers if they plan to launch a text marketing advertising campaigns. Actually, Cellit Mobile Marketing is one of them. They cater small and large companies’ demands with text/mobile marketing. They believe that in today’s mobile generation, the best way to connect to your consumers is through their phones. You have to go with their genre or else your business will be left behind. Being competitive in today’s market is very important no matter what type of business you are engaging with.

By the way, are you wondering why companies are using shortcodes for a text marketing campaign? It is simple. The shorter the numbers the better so people or their customers can remember it easily. It makes sense though, right?
