No one deletes an SMS without having read it
Most people read an SMS when it is received – you decide when your message is to be read Contact mass – people with mobile phones + given permission to receive advertisement on their mobile phone Expenses – based on a per reached customer. The mobile media is more personal and the cost per reached customer is low similar to other medias Top of mind – how strong the media is to be remembered to each customer. It is a very personal media and becomes a more direct advertisement

Expectations in Europe :
(…) analyst Allison Webb estimated that by 2006 there is the potential for 37 billion wireless advertisements and alerts to be sent in western Europe, worth $12 billion.
With more than 60 million subscribers, Germany will probably account for 25% of this, i.e. $3 billion (...)
This forecast is based on the assumption that 65% of all mobile subscribers will accept some form of mobile marketing.
