Affordable and a quick start Lowest common denominator Share timely knowledge: cuts through the clutter Make life easier for customers: Tidbits of knowledge, specific information Possible partnership opportunities for couponing
- Parents have no time, they are exhausted and anything that can help them organize their day, Source: http://www.emarketer.com/Articles/Print.aspx?1007876 Time-Strapped Families Looking to Save Money Wanted Movie Tickets (first dibs) People without kids wanted coffee and travel coupons Marketers looking to convince mobile subscribers to opt in to SMS marketing campaigns should look to target parents, especially those with young children, based on research conducted by Harris Interactive for mobile marketing platform Pla cecast . The May 20 10 survey found that among US mobile users with c hildren, 33% were at least somewhat interested in receiving mobile alerts from their favorite merchants. Among those without children, just 26% were equally interested. The age of children in the household also had an effect on user interest levels; the presence of children under 6 boosted interest levels most, while those with teenagers in the house acted somewhat more like couples with no kids. Parents considered several mobile activities at least somewhat important at higher rates than mobile users without children, including searching for retail locations (57% vs. 42%), making purchases (40% vs. 26%) and accessing the internet in general (63% vs. 48%). Parents are even more interested in participating in foursquare and Facebook on the go. Most of parents’ desire for mobile text alerts points to time-strapped families looking to save money. Grocery coupons and promotions were the most popular text alert among all parents, including among the subgroups with older children and teens. The biggest interest of parents of the youngest kids was in products like movie tickets. The only promotions that appealed more to the child-free were deals for coffee and travel.

You will also receive one text message reminder before the class. Message and data rates may apply.” The day before class, everyone who registered received a reminder text message. As the class came to a close, the instructor asked the class to vote for what they’d like to study next “ Please texting in TLWORD, TLPOWERPOINT, or TLOUTLOOK to 51684.” After class, the instructor checked the text messaging system to tally which keyword received the most opt-ins, and adjusted her next class accordingly.
