May. 4, 2007 - Distributing Flyers via Texting (SMS)
Just last week, the Jacobsmedia Tech Poll found that the cellphones have become an integral part of American culture, and text messaging leads the way! Not surpisingly seventy six percent (76%) of those who own a cellphone say they have utilized texting – especially 18-34 year-olds - by far the most used feature on the phone! Internet browsing on the cell phone came in at 26%. The report adds:
Texting is exhibiting strong growth. Overall, more than four in ten (44%) of cellphone owners text message at least weekly. From the 2006 study, this is an increase of 25%. During this same period, IMing on a computer has dropped 13%, suggesting that cellphone texting has become the dominant "thumb communication" medium.
There are two ways to send flyers using text messaging. When you view or edit a flyer you'll notice that the Email tab is now the Email and SMS tab. As long as you are a subscriber, you will be able to text potential buyers a link to your mobile flyer by simply entering their cellphone number and a short message. You can also send a text message from vFlyer Mobile. After you select a flyer, you'll have the option of viewing it, viewing its traffic activity, emailing or texting it! So next time you want to impress a tech saavy prospective buyer simply tell them "I'll text you a link to my vFlyer!".
