This data from m:metrics shows the opportunity for SMS permission marketing - but it also shows the potential downside.
We know operators enjoy great success with SMS as a way of talking with their consumers - and they also use MMS very effectively too.
But the number of brands using permission based SMS to build a dialogue is low whilst spam continues to grow.
Like any marketing these days, permission based SMS has to be relevant and either useful or entertaining ( or even both). And brands have to find a way of reminding consumers that they did request the messaging. We're investing in our capabilities in this space (as we are with email marketing) and see it as an ideal continuation of a marketing campaign.
Whilst lots of the talk is (rightly) about the potential for mobile advertising, more traditional mobile marketing still has a big role to play.
