Why is sending a text message better than a phone call or an email?

To be honest it might not be for everyone. Making a phone call to a customer has got to be the most personal approach to making contact and your customer might not even have a mobile phone. But what if you phone and they are not available, do you leave a voicemail message.... do you try again at a different time...do you send an email.

These days the majority of calls made to customers are made to a mobile phone. Therefore it is possible to send them a text message. Most mobile operators charge you to listen to voicemail messages. So if you call a customer to give them some information the changes are it will cost them to listen to your message.

There are benefits to your and to your customers in sending a text message. Sending a text message is a quick, unobtrusive method to contact your customers. It won't cost them anything to receive it, it provides a record of correspondence and provides immediate delivery*.
