SMS marketing uses the global reach of the Internet combined with the widespread
growth of the mobile phone market to provide marketers a direct, cost-effective
and personalized medium to reach the customer.
Wireless device usage is growing at phenomenal rates and has created an entirely
new medium for publishing content. These devices provide convenient access to news,
stock quotes, scores and other timely information. For the first time, customized
(permission-based) content is being delivered to consumers' personal communication
devices.
UAE Mobiles realizes the power and potential of this medium and has developed robust
wireless advertising solutions that will meet your needs.

Jan 28 2002 : SMS marketing response rates are up to five times higher than those
of direct mail marketing, according to Forrester. The average response rate is 11
percent and the average campaign cost is low at EUR24,000 (USD20,629). SMS stands
for short message service, or text messaging to and from mobile phones. Of the direct
marketers polled by Forrester and the Federation of European Direct Marketing (FEDMA),
21 percent use SMS marketing at least occasionally. A further 12 percent have tried
SMS marketing on a trial basis, but 56 percent plan to regular SMS campaigns by
next year. Marketers will devote an average of 7 percent of their budgets to SMS
marketing by then. Forrester believes SMS marketing is here to stay as the medium
is quick, interactive, and wide-reaching.
