Text message marketing for networkers in the mlm industry can be extremely profitable. However, like any other marketing you utilize, it has to be done properly to make it effective.
View this short video and you’ll garner some critically important text message marketing tips that will help you in your quest to increase sales and build your downline sales organization. These are considered best practices that should be employed whenever you text message to your permission based lists.
Remember that like email marketing, it is always important to get explicit permission to send text messages. Also the person must be notified that his/her normal carrier charges will apply should the approval be given to receive your text messages.
As the video relates, knowing how many messages per day, per week, etc. is important. If you text too many times, you’ll be viewed as annoying. If you text too little, your message could quickly be forgotten.

Understanding text message marketing tactics being used by others inside and outside the industry can also help you. Sign up to receive their text messages to gain insights. Read articles and posts about proven text message marketing campaigns. Examine case studies.
Make your text message brief and make sure you include a call to action. This can be encouraging a sign-up to receive important information. This can be to view an important video. This can be to drive users to your network marketing related site or your own personal blog.
Just like in email marketing, direct mail, mobile ad marketing, etc., when you give the right message to the right person at the right time, the better ROI you’ll receive on your marketing efforts. Text message marketing for networkers will be used by astute networkers in compliance with guidelines set by their mlm companies.
