Cambridge, MD (Bluehost) July 8, 2008 — 94% Of all text messages are read. Mobile marketing and advertising was worth a total of $255 million in the US and Europe in 2005, but will grow to exceed $1 billion by 2009, according to a May 2006 report from Visiongain. According to Cellular Online there were 2 billion mobile users globally in April 2006, including 160 million in the US and 343 million in Europe. The No.1 mobile Country was China, with 300 million users. According to Cellular Online 235 billion SMS messages were sent globally in the first quarter of 2006, an average of 36 texts per mobile user per month.

These and other compelling statistics are what prompted Derek Brown, CEO and search engine marketing guru at WebXsposure.com, to do a full investigation of the market, its applications, and ultimately, to discover a means to add the text message marketing service to his company’s arsenal of online and interactive marketing tools.

"The growth of online marketing has established a path by which small and medium size businesses are now able to go down and compete on an even level with the 100 pound gorillas," says Derek Brown. "Text message marketing gives that market another tool to use to bring themselves to market at a price they can afford, with results they simply can’t ignore."
