Today the most interesting and popular device of communication is mobile phone. It was costly when the mobile companies first launched it. But as the number of mobile companies started to increase, the price of the phones began decreasing. And now after a long period of its invention, mobile phones are available in a large number. A huge number of teenagers or the working people or the house wives are using the mobile phones. The advantage of the mobile phones is that you can call as well as send messages by it. In fact SMS comes next to phone call now-a- days. It is a very easy process to connect with someone. Because of this SMS has become the means of marketing.

With the growth of technology various new aspects like internet, music, videos or games are attached to the mobile phones. But the popularity of SMS has remained the same. It is because of this that sending SMS is a very easy process. You have to just write and click on the sending option. As mobile is used by a large number of people, marketing is very easy through SMS. There are certain reasons behind this.

At first it is a spam free communication service. The problems that you face with email do not happen in this service. At one time the same SMS can be sent to a large number of people. It is possible within a few minutes. The mobile phones are endowed with the option of forwarding the SMS by a single click. You have to only select the numbers that you are supposed to deal with.

One of the major demerits of email is that it is sometimes arrested with junk mail. So there is the risk of deleting of the message from your id. But in the case of SMS marketing you can simply store up the messages in SMSC server. You can use these every time you wish.

Again you need not to face any hazard even if the mobile phone is switched off. The person concerned can receive the message the moment he or she switches the mobile on.

SMS marketing is preferable also for another reason. Suppose it is you to whom the details of any product will be provided. If you are busy with any work and the workers of the companies are calling you for advertising, you will surely feel irritated. Even if you are interested in buying that you will fell disgusted to talk to the salesman. But if the companies send you SMS you can read it at the free time. You will be in a relaxed mood and also interested in the details.

SMS marketing is the cheapest way of marketing. Moreover it gives you instant service. The customer receives the message within a few seconds of its delivery. You can be sure about the delivery because in this service problems are not so often created. You can convey everything about the product in 160 words because one SMS contains 160 words in it.

SMS marketing is the use of "short message service" to deliver an automated cell phone message. Think of it as an autoresponder for cellphones or iPhones. Most network marketers already know the benefit of email autoresponders but few have tapped into SMS marketing.

Globally, SMS is used twice as much as email. In fact, the use of cell phones dwarfs the Internet by 3 to 1. Nearly 90% of all messages are read and are generally responded to within 60 minutes. Can you begin to see this sleeping giant as a marketing tool for network marketers?

Have you noticed that even waiting in line for a Starbucks coffee people are accessing the Internet via their phone?

There are two parts to SMS messaging: the code and the keyword. After you sign up for an SMS service you will be given a 5 digit SMS code. This code is like a phone number, but instead connecting you to another phone, it connects to a an automated message.

They keyword is like a passcode to a specific message. You set up the message like you would an autoresponder (log in to a portal and write the message). All a customer has to do now is to send a text message to that 5 digit code and send the keyword in the message body. Almost instantly, the sender (prospect) will receive a message back from the receiver (prospector).

The magic begins when you begin to promote your SMS code and keyword. For example when promoting my voice broadcasting business I instruct prospects to: Text IBUZZ to 41411. When a prospect completes that task they enter my marketing funnel. I collect their phone number and engage my prospect. You can use this for announcements, bonuses, and specials.

Keep in mind people don't like messaging spam. However, they do want good information, deals, bargains, and announcements that help them.

SMS messaging is even interactive. Your readers can instantly respond if they have a question, want a phone number or website address.

Network marketers have discovered the power of social marketing using sites like Twitter and Facebook. Others are already using the phone to generate leads using voice broadcasting. Now it's time to kick it up another notch and start using short messaging service.

American Idol uses SMS messaging to allow participants to vote for their favorite singer and presidential candidates uses it for instant updates on campaigns. More and more network marketers are using SMS to promote their home based business and further creating relationships with their prospects.

A birthday comes once in every year thus the reason to make the day memorable. Birthday celebrations are held in high regard by many people with some spending a substantial amount of money all for the purpose of making the day a success. But a birthday ceremony would pass to be just like another day if no nice messages were passed across to the celebrant. Thus birthday SMS have become a very popular way of passing best wishes messages. It's a way of showing that one cares for people who are far apart and thus not in a position to exchange gifts.

A happy birthday SMS is not just a mere message but can be a prayer as well as a wish. A typical birthday SMS contains phrases that express what the sender would like the celebrant to achieve in their lifetime. Others will are cheer messages that aim at brightening the recipient's day. When writing a birthday messages it's good to consider the recipient's age, likes and dislikes. Thus the message will be in a form that matches to what the recipient would appreciate. For instance aspects like favorite color could be helpful when the writer wants to add a theme or animations to the message.

A birthday SMS should be eye-catching in order to captivate the reader and lure him/her into wanting to read the entire message. Adding a bit of humor to the SMS can make the both message and the day more memorable. Another principle when writing birthday messages is that 'less means more'. A brief message that is spot on will be easier for the recipient to read considering that there may be many more messages received.

The best time to send a birthday SMS is late on the day previous to the birthday date or early on the material day. It is such a special feeling to wake up in the morning and find the phone full of nice wishes. Nevertheless it's still possible to send a belated birthday wish if at all one was not able to do it on the actual birthday.
