According to a study by business software and services review G2, by the end of last year, close to 48.7 million consumers would have willingly opted-in to receive SMS communications from their favorite brands, a number that reflects the effectiveness of text marketing with SMS open rates as high as 98%. Moreover, the research findings state that 60% of customers want to actively text businesses back about customer support issues and 83% of customers want to receive appointment reminders via text, but only 20% of businesses offer this service, which is why it is essential for businesses wanting to thrive to offer a simple, slick and effective messaging service to its customers.

Elie Rubin, CEO at Squaretalk said: “Squaretalk has always strived to offer valuable solutions to its clients and to be at the cutting edge of the industry. The launch of Express is a response to increasing customer demand, as instant messaging has quickly become a preferred method for consumers to communicate with brands. The initial rollout of the service has been incredibly positive with some of our clients achieving over 90% message open rate with campaign targeting, and we’re excited to continue to develop the product over the coming months.”
