Mobile Marketing / Cell Phone Text Messaging

What makes targeted cell phone text messaging (SMS) campaigns so effective?

  • 80 percent of text messages are opened (read) within 20 minutes of receiving them and over 90 percent of text messages are read within a few days.
  • Click through rate is 20 times greater than banner ads.
  • The text builds your brand with the recipients so when they click through they are far more likely to apply to your job posting ad and far more likely to accept your offer of employment.
  • On average 15 percent of the respondents will forward your message to a friend.
  • No contracts to sign...unless you want one. Most of our new clients purchase a targeted email campaign or job posting or banner ad and don't sign up for some ridiculous, annual package like some of our competitors force upon their clients.

Through our targeted text messaging (SMS) service, we can deliver on your behalf a 140 character (includes from field, spaces, and punctuation) text message to the cell phones of more than eight million cell phones used by college students and recent graduates who have asked us or one of our partners to send opportunities like yours to them. And, at no additional charge, we will also deliver your choice of a plain text or HTML email to the same people to help ensure a great response.

Want to be sure that your message will be well received? We do too so we will work with you to select the recipients through any combination of 700 fields of data including school, geography (right down to the zip code), major, GPA, diversity, year of graduation, occupational field, and more.
