Ready to supercharge your business? Dive into the flashy world of SMS and uncover bold, game-changing hacks to turn texts into your ultimate growth weapon!
December 3rd, 1992 – where were you? If you were chilling with Neil Papworth in the UK, you’d have witnessed history. Neil sent the first-ever SMS, “Merry Christmas,” from his PC to Richard Jarvis on an Orbitel 901. Boom! The texting era was born over the Vodaphone GSM network.
Fast-forward to today, SMS is the unsung hero of advertising, proving its worth with Short Codes.
Why?
It’s a 24/7 rockstar – no call centre blues here. Just whip out your phone, type a keyword (make sure it’s not “funy splng,” please), and you’re golden. No dialing, no awkward small talk, just instant connection.
Big brands dig SMS Short Codes because they’re like the night owls of marketing—always awake, always ready. Got an ad that slaps? Give ‘em a short code, and boom! Viewers can drop their deets anytime, whether it’s 2 PM or 2 AM. No sweat, no hassle, just a slick way to lock in that “call me back” vibe when the sun’s up.
So, whether you’re selling party packs or throwing a party, SMS is your go-to.
Respect the OG tech – it’s simple, brilliant, and still running the game.
