The Acoustic Guide to SMS

How to get the most out of your text messaging strategy

SMS gives you the chance to communicate through a device nearly every consumer owns. And using it in your marketing doesn’t just get you better performance and outcomes — it also helps you deliver better customer experiences that serve up what people are looking for at the right time.

SMS is one of the most engaged and highest ROI channels available to marketers, with a high volume of messages opened and the majority of them opened quickly.
