Text Tops Mobile Marketing Methods, Says DMA

Text messaging is the most often cited mobile marketing method –counting for 70% of consumer mobile marketing responses– compared to a 41% response rate to surveys and a 30% response rate for e-mail offers, according to a Direct Marketing Association survey.

The survey also revealed that:

* About one-quarter (24%) of those surveyed have responded to a mobile offer.

* One-third of the group that did not respond to any mobile marketing reported that they had never received an offer;

* Twenty-one percent of mobile marketing responders said they responded to three or more offers per month.
