SMS Marketing??? Never thought about this…. Unwanted messages or using Google’s SMS Service??
I will check this out.
good post buddy SMS Marketing marketing is something new for me.. btw RT done
Now a days people are using SMS services for advertising. But Email marketing as you said seems to be more of spamming and not marketing.
I was already targeting 4 out of 5 you mentioned. Email marketing is latest in this.. :)
Never tried sms marketing ..will try it soon :) ..Nice Post
Sms marketing will be too expensive if you have hundreds contact person bro, thanks for the awesome article.
I agree marketing and promotion is a very important feature of any blog or for that matter any company to be sucessful but to equate time spent with money allotted cannot be sensible. Obviously 80% of your spending might be on promoting your blog but if you are a working 10 hours a day on a blog, you cant spend 8 hours on promotion and marketting and only 2 hours on writing posts, following up comments, replying to emails and also reading feeds from various other blogs.
Wont it be annoying ? SMS marketting …. apart from that this is a great article. :)
