Switching from another automated text message provider to Call-Em-All is now even easier with our new short code transfer system! As a reminder, a “short code” is the number someone texts to start receiving text message broadcasts from you (i.e. text keyword to 292929).

Once you decide to transfer short codes, a text message will be sent out to those currently subscribed and inform them of the new changes taking place. One message will be sent on the old short code, and then one will be sent on the new short code to let the users know they will be receiving text messages from the new number.

For example, subscribers will receive text messages that may look like this:

Last Alert on Old Short Code

Little League Softball Alerts
are moving to short code 292929.
Future alerts will come from that code.

Reply STOP to cancel receiving
Little League Softball Alerts.

First Alert on New Short Code

Little League Softball Alerts will now
be delivered on short code 292929.

Reply STOP to cancel receiving
Little League Softball Alerts.

According to the 2010 U.S. Local Mobile Advertising and Promotions Forecast, text message marketing spend was $90 million in 2009 and is expected to hit $6.52 billion in the next four years. Yet despite this rapid growth, text message marketing, particularly text message coupons are still very much in their infancy. Although most businesses are fully aware of the marketing potential of text message couponing (namely its ability to reach customers anywhere, at anytime, with any message) many marketers still have not found effective ways of harvesting that potential and transforming it into sales. For this reason, we are providing a list of some of the potential opportunities and challenges that marketers will need to acknowledge if they are going to have a chance at harnessing the power of mobile couponing.
