But that’s not all. What is interesting is that nearly 68 million people or more have received some type of

mobile coupon ad or text alert from some type of local business. The surprising number of them all is that almost 33 percent or 1 out of 3 of these mobile users have responded to these mobile coupons as known metric studies have shown.
These non-intrusive types of text messages, also known as SMS, allows short messages usually with a maximum of 130 to 160 characters to be sent from one cell phone to another or from a mobile text marketing platform leased by a business, charity, school or church.
Plus, mobile users read their text messages within 4 minutes of receiving it. There is no other targeted market that gets your ad in front of millions of new customers who see your message immediately.St. Louis businesses
