MLMIA Recognizes Bullseye Text Marketing As “Next Big Thing” Network Marketers Should Consider

Feb. 15, 2013 - PRLog -- In just a short time, Bullseye Text Marketing has increasingly risen to become a recognized expert in the text message marketing arena. Now Bullseye's Founder & CEO Tom Connolly is excited to introduce his powerful text messaging technology to the network marketing industry to help distributors to customize new solutions to consistently drive, recruit, and retain more distributors for their businesses.

“Studies prove that text messaging is the easiest, fastest, most reliable and effective means to recruit and retain more existing customers today,” notes Connolly.  “That's why we're proud that the Multi-Level Marketing International Association (MLMIA) has not only come to recognize this fact, but after reviewing various suppliers in the text message marketing field, has decided to recognize our efforts to help to spread this powerful new approach to reaching others throughout the network marketing industry.”

For a limited time, Connolly is offering to provide free consultations to network marketers interested in learning more about the secrets behind how to create successful text messaging campaigns, and what it takes to create a high-converting responsive text message, based on his many years of experience.

Connolly recently decided to refocus a core segment of his business on the network marketing industry, because he realized that in the current still beleaguered economy, it's become an increasingly recognized fact that traditional online marketing and email campaigns that used to generate consistently reliable conversion rates and pay for themselves, simply aren’t working like they once did.

In addition, Connolly noticed that those who have been advertising products or services through social media have also been increasingly falling short. Most notable among the disadvantages: busy network marketers need to feed their social media sites pages fresh content, over and over again. But this is where most people struggle.  Who has the time leftover each day to post a sufficient amount of content?  

The second drawback for social media is the fleeting nature of many social media marketing posts. Literally within minutes of posting on Twitter (sometimes seconds) posts or tweets are relegated to the bottom of the list, as new tweets and posts successively crowd the page for attention!  And while Facebook and Twitter make people feel connected with one another, the connections are public and lack intimacy. But text message marketing is all about creating intimate, personal engagement.

New surveys reinforce that the rapidly growing popularity of mobile devices are driving a tectonic new shift in how consumers expect to send and receive information. These surveys also suggest that savvy network marketing professionals need to quickly climb aboard the text messaging bandwagon if they want to catch up and keep pace.

According to a recent Pew Internet Survey, 85% of American adults state they now have a cell phone; just 58% of those surveyed said they own a desktop computer,. Today, there are more than 219 million cellphones in use in just the U.S. alone.  And there are over 4 billion cell phone users worldwide.

Ericsson Corporation notes this trend will escalate.  By 2017, Ericsson expects that over 9 billion mobile devices will be in use, outstripping the anticipated population of the earth itself by 1.6 billion!   And the most popular use of mobile data – text messaging services – is expected to continue to rise --by a factor of 15 times!

Moreover, recent studies have confirmed that nearly everyone who carries a cell phone often keeps it within 3 feet of their fingertips 24/7.   Consequently, when a network marketing distributor promotes a company, product, new offer, or latest sales meeting with text message marketing, unlike other forms of online marketing, distributors can reach their target audience not within hours, but within minutes.  Surveys also show that more than 97 % of subscribers will open the text message and read it – a redemption rate nearly 10 times greater than email, direct mail, social media, or other forms of direct marketing.

“To put it in a nutshell, text messaging is the No. 1 way today that people are increasingly looking to communicate,” Connolly notes.  “That's why I've recently positioned Bullseye Text to offer network marketers a real choice -- to not only enable them to reach greater number of targeted prospects, but at the least amount of cost. And we also provide the best follow-up customer service that they're going to find anywhere.”

David Boufford, who has served as a top sales and marketing strategist to hundreds of businesses throughout his career, notes: “Marketing today is all about results. And Bullseye Text is delivering superior results...by leveraging the very best practices in this newly emerging industry.”
