I went to see one of my clients in action, Levi Riggs. He uses a text number and keyword to get his fans to request songs live. The goal is to grow his opt-in phone number list AKA his followers and fans so he can communicate with them directly at a moment's notice. In 3 Months, our business is driving more merchandise sales, more ticket sales and better overall fan excitement. It can be used for text for business as well. This is how SMS/MMS marketing can be used in the real life stuff that is happening right now. #marketing #digitalmarketing #marketingstrategy #textexpert #Textinthewild #sms #mobilemarketing #textmessaging #textmarketing #smsbulk
