According to www.blackbox.com.sg source, Singapore has earn herself a reputation of being the most mobile-savvy nation despite its size at a massive 148.9% mobile penetration rate. Despite having a big market of mobile users, many Singapore based business did not or rather, do not utilise this huge potential medium to bring their businesses to their next level.
The potential roadblocks for having such technology are the wrong perception of SMS marketing.
The above 5 are the main questions asked when we approach my used-to-be skeptical customers. However, they are convinced once they know the 'truth' which can be summarized into the below:
Answer: Big corporations used them because they want to tap on the goodness of SMS marketing instead of shunning them. They have business and marketing analyst alike to convince them, not really because they can afford them. Many Spa owners that we know send out snail-mail (traditional mailer) to customers for marketing purpose which is much more expensive than SMS marketing!
Answer: Very often businessmen depends on people around them for help instead of searching at Google or have the 'so far so good' mindset which often hinders them from having a breakthrough from traditional methods. A search for 'SMS marketing in Singapore' at Google will display a minimum of 30-60 companies in local who can do this.
Answer: Quite on the contrary, besides Email marketing, SMS marketing is one of the most affordable marketing method which yields direct ROI (Return on investment) if the message is sent to the right party. You can delete an email without reading its content, but very often, you will read a SMS no matter the source.
Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is Yes in Singapore, especially after MICA released the latest Data Protection Act . However, Big Mouth Marketing will provide professional advise to assist you on this that your business will not infringe the DPA.
