How to create your own clients' database using SMS marketing?

Experience shows that correct and thoughtful phone database for SMS mailing is a crucial factor for success of your marketing campaign. On one hand, people don't want to get messages with useless info. On the other hand, spam distribution is illegal. So you can provide SMS mailout only to those who agreed to receive notifications on behalf of your company.

There are several ways to collect such database. If you want an existing or potential client to agree for mailout, you should rather:

• Create a special form at your corporate web-site where all willing to get SMS/MMS-notifications would leave their phone numbers.
• Suggest your clients to fill in a form and leave a telephone number in a corresponding field. Often people tend to fill in such forms when they get discount cards or participate in promotions like prize drawing.
