What the customer thinks?
A customer looks at your advertisement and decides to contact you. He looks at his watch. He ponders whether to call or sms. If he chooses sms, he is finished contacting you in 10 seconds flat. If chooses to call and does not get a response, he can again revert to sms. Chances of him not contacting you are considerably reduced.
The sms option creates a feel-good factor about your company even if the customer does not send an sms.

Interactive SMS is more powerful tool than phone calls and emails
SMS scores over email
- Everybody has a mobile phone but not an email address.
- Everybody has mobile phone with them 24 hours.
- Sending an SMS message is quicker than sending an email.
- SMS is interactive. Customer gets an immediate response to an SMS but email response may not come at all.
SMS scores over phone calls
- You can only receive 2-3 calls at a time. Then you are too busy. You can receive even 1000 SMS messages at the same time.
- When a phone line is busy, customers cannot get through. Incoming SMS messages always get through.
- Phones remain unanswered when work place is closed for the day. But incoming SMS is always open and working.
- Even when a call gets through, the customer often waits for the concerned person to come online. Often the customer drops the call. Not so with SMS.
- It is easier to send an SMS message than to make a phone call.
- If you have voicemail, you will know that majority of people hang up and never leave a voice message.
- SMS is discreet. It is simpler for a customer to send an SMS when he does not want to be overheard.
