Bulk SMS providers are the way of the future. Long gone are the days where a newspaper ad or a local billboard can reach far and wide enough to bring massive traffic to our stores. Our modern worlds have become more personal and insular. If marketing messages want to find us, they’re going to have to come right to our mobile phones — which never leave our sides. In fact, 4 out of 5 young adults sleep with their cell phones close by and most people say they never switch their phones off.

There will be many mobile trends in 2012, but one sure advance is that online marketing companies who wish to survive will be adding mobile marketing to their service offerings in the coming year. Online marketing still has its rightful place, of course, but more and more businesses want to start sending out text message campaigns for opt-in subscribers, developing mobile websites to read iPad and data package users, and creating shortcode contests to drive brand loyalty. Simply put, bulk SMS providers offer an opportunity marketers can’t afford to miss.
