Mobile SMS text message marketing

SMS text

Would you like to be able to communicate instantly with your customers and contacts?

Do you think any of your customers if they have ever forgotten an important occasion?

Would you like to interact with your target market, increase brand awareness and provide additional revenue streams for your business?

Do you know what the most used method of communication - other than speech - is in the UK today?

What would get your attention better? A letter telling you someone is coming to plumb in your washing machine or a text message the day before reminding you not to go out? It also gives you an edge that the vast majority of other advertisers just don't have.

The answer is SMS text marketing. It is very effective used on its own or in conjunction with other forms of marketing. Text messages are now common - over 20 billion were sent in the UK alone last year.

Robin Hood Ministries

Paul Skelton

Paul lives in Bradford on Avon - a small town near Bath. He worked as a self-employed builder for twenty years. After travelling in Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe, Paul felt challenged about the wealth and lifestyle we take for granted in our part of the world. He decide to do some thing about this challenge and set up Robin Hood Ministries, to help bridge the gulf between the affluent world of business and the poor.

Paul is very aware that people in business are there to make money and don't respond well to charities constantly sending them begging letters and asking them for money, RHM takes a very different approach and is trying to change the face of charity. Rather than going with the begging cap on they turn the whole situation on its head. It's commonplace to find them turning up at networking meetings and business events.

Here RHM demonstrate to companies that getting involved with a charity that understands the demands of the business world today can be a very positive exercise for that company. For example, they help companies develop and implement the their corporate social responsibilities as are laid down in the Business Excellence model.

The first in depth study of business having been involved with charities under the " Charity of the Year " (COY) scheme has recently taken place and interviewed major companies. All but one of the businesses interviewed that had completed Charity of the Year partnerships thought them successful and the concept worth repeating.Using the concept provided a very useful focus for charitable activity, particularly when staff were involved, and generated additional value in a number of ways. COY partnerships are a particularly successful tool for team building and boosting staff morale. RHM is developing its own initiatives and incentives to encourage business to take part and promote business that do want to take this challenge seriously.
