I selected this article from Curatti written by Orla Forrest because it explains how to run a smart SMS marketing campaign with better results.

You can reach your prospects through specific SMS strategies.

Exploring the Mobile SMS Marketing Method

When a business sends out a marketing text message it can get either get deleted or missed. I agree that your customers will respond as you reach them with the right approach.

Forrest shows you several ways to improve your SMS marketing strategy for more sales.

Here's what caught my attention:

• You will have more coupon redemption rates if you are sending a message to an email subscriber. On demand coupons have an even greater response.

• Because almost all customers own a mobile phone it is very easy to have them act upon a promotion sent via text. People can store these in their phone and easily access them for later.

• Tailor your coupons for every day consumer related products. Be sure to personalize the message and send 3 to 4 texts a month.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it provides insights on how digital and online information has transformed content marketing.

The idea of strategizing content has diminished over the last few years due to mobile and technology trends.

Why Context is More Important Than Content

Content should be tailored for your audience and what makes sense to them specifically. I agree that you can reach more people by reducing the amount of information being presented to them.

Zambito explains the basics of context in how it relates to today's online consumer.

Here's what caught my attention:

• In order to be effective marketers need to understand the method of a connected series of stories. These should involve goal-directed behaviors and activities of buyers.

• When it comes to effectively using context timing is critical. It's about what buyers are experiencing over time rather than a specific trigger.

• Understanding the goals of your audience will help you move toward context. Not doing so can lead to content marketing failure.
