Easily manage your SMS marketing campaigns
At the end of 2014 we hit a new milestone: 1.76 billion people owned smartphones and by 2017 more than one third of the world's population will be smartphone users! By the end of this year the majority of Western Europe is expected to pass 50% smartphone penetration amongst the total population*. With more and more people shopping via their phone we can, no doubt, expect to see an increase in on-the-go ecommerce.
SMS is an effective sales tool and an excellent way to develop your business: In the UK, 93% of adults use or own a mobile phone. With an average open rate of 98%, SMS is a powerful e-Commerce marketing tool for generating quality traffic**.

Text messages are a convenient and effective way to communicate and can easily be sent from your Actinic back office, allowing you to:
|
Generate sales
SMS is ideal for generating sales as it creates a sense of urgency, react quickly to get a good deal. For example, you can use it to inform your customers about flash sales on discontinued items. It's also a useful tool for offering birthday discounts!

"Every month, we carry out several SMS campaigns. Our open rates are consistently above 90% and our turnover doubles a few days after sending."
