Research shows that the average open rate for text message marketing campaigns is 98%, compared to just 20% for email. And the average click-through rate for SMS marketing is 9% compared to 4% for email. The simple truth is companies that want more effective engagement with their customers need SMS —and our SMS enablement platform makes getting started easy.
