Tango Networks BlogTexting with Your Business Numbers … Benefits of “Mobile First” Communications

Text messaging is quickly becoming one of the most important ways to communicate with customers. 

Worldwide more than 22 billion text messages are sent every day. 

That’s a staggering amount of communication. 

Add to this the fact that young people text more than any other form of communication. That’s more than talking on the phone, more than emailing, more than posting on Facebook or Twitter. 

So the question for a business that sells products or services to the public is how do you make sure you are communicating with customers the way they want? 

Even in business-to-business communications, text messaging has become a critically important way to interact with customers and partners.

In a communications context, Mobile First means that your employees’ communications tools are first and foremost mobile devices, such as using smartphones instead of desk phones. Enterprises find that Mobile First communications strategies can increase worker reachability, workplace flexibility, and overall productivity.
