Text Message Coupons - More Information
Text message coupons or SMS Coupons are the simplest and most effective way to reach consumers with sales and mobile discount offers. There are also a range of other options which you can consider, such as WAP site mobile coupons, Qcode coupons and downloadable applications such as iPhone apps.
The issue with other options is that the available mobile customer base is often less than 10%. Big brands are typically the only ones to use these types of mobile coupons so that they can be the first to trial it, not because it generates significant mobile originated sales.
The key with Text Message coupons is that everyone can be involved, do you really want to frustrate 90% of your potential market?

Text messages coupons are text based, there are no pictures or graphics. Many see this as an advantage – consumers easily understand the mobile offer and it is simple to create.
-
A text message coupon is easy to pass on to friends and family – you cannot prevent people from passing on the text message coupon. Again, this may be seen as a benefit as your sales message can be spread virally, which is often the best marketing tool. You can always include a unique code in your mobile coupon to authorise and track redemptions.
