Why is mobile marketing important to advertisers?
SMS, also known as text messaging, is built into over 95 percent of all
mobile phones in the U.S. market place today. The cell phone is fast
becoming the user’s personal information device of choice, and the “third screen”
in their daily lives. It is a handy, intimate place where they can store,
receive and share information they need to conduct business and manage their
ever day life; and it is with them wherever they go.
How big is the mobile advertising market?
According to industry estimates, well over one billion dollars will be spent on mobile
advertising globally in 2007, and by all accounts the mobile advertising market is poised
for exponential growth over the next several years.
What type of ROI (return on investment) can I expect from SMSJOCK Mobile Marketing campaign?
According to IDC mobile marketing campaigns using CSCs (Common Short Codes) can
experience an almost immediate ROI. CSCs are relatively inexpensive to implement,
allow brands to further leverage existing media spends, and directly reach over 70%
of the U.S. population that IDC estimates have their own cell phones. (NB: SMSJOCK
uses PSMS short codes)

outlets at a fraction of the cost of traditional media channels.
Media sales professionals can develop advertiser sponsored promotions
and contests to enhance revenue streams.

information to better understand crucial demographics.
Why is the Philippine’s considered the international cradle of
SMS text messaging development?
The Philippines is a global front runner in the use of mobile telephones for access
to a range of services from m-Banking to m-Education and m-Governance. Their
success is due, in part, to favorable government regulations, and a familiarity
and wide acceptance with SMS among cell phone users. In 2006, the 40 million mobile
phone subscribers in the Philippines were estimated to have sent an average of 10
text messages per subscriber, or a total of 400 million text messages daily.
