If your product is targeted to younger audiences such as the millennium generation, then you will probably be aware how much they love their technology such as their mobile devices and multiple social networking connections, and be making good on this through your marketing and advertising campaigns.  The younger generation of this digital age are much more aware of the fact that they can communicate quickly with each other via such online methods, and will quickly weed out the latest news, products, offers, entertainment gossip and so on.  But it seems that texts are the way in which they mostly prefer receiving communications.<\/p>\n

In fact, a nationwide survey was recently completed by OpenMarket, who are a leading firm dealing in enterprise mobile user engagement, in which 500 millennials were quizzed on the ways in which they prefer to communicate.  It turned out that more millennials preferred to receive texts above phone calls, due to the disruption phone calls can have when they are leading their busy day to day lives.  They also find text reminders helpful, a way of organising their activities perhaps and they are not averse to receiving text from businesses either, especially if it is a reminder to say that their latest purchase is on its way.<\/p>\n

Using data suppliers<\/a> who can give you the most accurate up to date data, is also going to be essential to see progress.<\/p>\n
