The results were simply staggering, with SMS the preferred method of interaction by 75% of respondents. Statistically, the mobile marketing component of this campaign tripled the number of responses compared with those received via the telephone and internet.

The number of SMS responses was so overwhelming that Black and White opted to save significant ongoing costs by completely removing the free phone number and utilizing SMS as their sole method of interaction.

Social protocol is an important factor to consider in the decision of many people to text.
