Can you text your way to success?

Latest stats on texting:
  • 95% of all text messages are read within 15 Minutes
  • 17% of all text messages are forwarded
  • Text messages outnumber phone calls in the US
  • 20% of people respond to a text message
  • twice as many people use text messaging as use email
  • 1/3 of humanity has mobile internet access
  • 1.8 billion people will send a text message today (this includes me and probably you)
Just be careful what you send in a text message. It is the last area of privacy. Make it to the reader's benefit and your message will be welcome and read.
