It is extremely affordable when compared to traditional advertising channels.

Financial institutions, retail outlets, service companies and the hospitality industry are using bulk text marketing to great effect to increase awareness around their brands and offer added-value service to their customers. Bulk text is used for customer acquisition as well as driving direct sales through this mobile platform.
