Coupons sent via text message are redeemed eight times more often than those sent via email, says David Wachs, founder and president of Cellit, a mobile marketing company in Chicago.
To start sending texts, sign up for a mobile marketing service. Most charge a monthly fee, and some provide additional support, such as advertising materials and coupon-redemption tracking. You can send and schedule texts through an online account.”

Cellit is proud to announce the launch of Cellit Spark, the latest addition to the Cellit service line. Cellit Spark is custom-tailored for cost-conscious businesses looking to start engaging their customers via mobile. With a focus on simplicity and value, the service offers many of the basic features in Cellit Studio, with low monthly fees and no long-term contracts. With Cellit Spark, Cellit is opening up mobile marketing to businesses with budgets of any size.
As an added incentive and as a way to give back in a tangible way to the community, Cellit is starting a “Save the Puppies!” campaign, donating $150 to Chicago’s Anti-Cruelty Society for each new account started in the month of April.
“Cellit has been fortunate to be on the leading edge of a growing industry, text message marketing, and is flourishing,” said Cellit President David Wachs. “With the launch of Cellit Spark, we’re hoping to give back and support a worthwhile cause in a very tangible way. We hope that the launch of the ‘Save a Puppy!’ campaign will encourage small businesses to give mobile marketing a try, and save some lives in the process. As Cellit Spark starts at $49 per month, by signing up, customers will be giving up to three times of their monthly charge to a worthwhile cause! We hope people smile at the marketing surrounding our ‘Save a Puppy!’ campaign but see that we’re serious in our commitment to The Anti-Cruelty Society.”
