Formulating your message

  • A short, simple message delivered direct to a recipient’s mobile phone can be very effective.
  • Think about your audience and whether they are likely to respond to a text message.
  • Do you have their mobile numbers, or will you have to pay to source a list?
  • You will need to keep your message clear and concise.
