If your organization is still considering the benefits of business texting, consider this:
It takes the average person 90 minutes to respond to email (if they respond at all), but only 90 seconds to respond to a text message (source: CTIA.org)
In a mobile-driven world where more people own a phone then they do a toothbrush (yes, it’s true) and 97% of those smartphone owners are actively using it to text according to the Pew Research Center, texting from your business number must play an active role in your overall customer and employee experience.
Not only is it the most used feature on your customers’ phones – it’s still growing in popularity – with the number of texts sent on the rise by 7,700% in the last decade per Statistic Brain Research Institute! This is the universal language of communication.
Business texting offers a cost-effective, efficient alternative to developing an app or trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to how your prospects contact you. Apps can swing and miss because the average consumer spends 85% of their time using just 5 apps (source: TechCrunch). Good luck replacing their Instagram!
