It might surprise you, but – without realizing – you may have received more than one offer or promotion through your smartphone’s message box. In fact, on more than one occasion it is the most recommendable way of transmittinga brand’s values.

 Of course, the ad text should be relevant and efficient (the sending by SMS helps in that sense.) It should summarize in short what the brand is through SMS.  It is also very important to know where you should go; the link or landing that the company puts at your disposal should be short and attractive. The message, which has to be related to the profile and the company’s style, can be innovative, classic, fun, etc.

 But one of the most important things is the sender. The name of the brand should be in this part of the message which is very visible.
