How Animated GIFs Bring MMS Into The Future

Posted By : Shelly Greenstein – Jan 11, 2017

Things that we all thought were the way of the future ten years ago are now obsolete and the technological evolution has only just begun.

Within the past 5 years, we have seen communicative advancements such as the forever adapting social media machine.

Myspace died and made room for Facebook.

Facebook stepped aside and the popularity of Instagram and Twitter soared.

And now even though Facebook and Twitter still remain relevant, things like Instagram and Snapchat have become all the more prevalent.

Overall, the way that our society communicates with one another has become more short-formed and fast paced.

This concept is extremely applicable to the SMS marketing world.

Today, people respond to specific kinds of text messages more than they do others.

Text messages that contained simple textual content and a URL had a higher success rate in the past, but today people want more.

Potential clients want images and graphics directly in their messages, otherwise they are not as inclined to respond to the campaign in the long run.

We’ve discussed the beauty of our MMS feature in the past here at Lime Cellular, but it got all the more advantageous within the past few weeks.
