<description>Night Out Mobile Marketing is an SMS text messaging service to increase traffic to your business.&amp;nbsp; SMS stands for Short Message Service, also commonly referred to as text messaging or texting.&amp;nbsp; Out text marketing service can be sent directly to a cell phone, e-mail or instant messaging address.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why text?&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Of the 270 million US cell phones currently subscribed, over 96% of them are SMS capable&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Text message is typically read within 15 minutes and responded to within 60 minutes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Over 285 million wireless lines in the U.S. alone (twice as many active users as email)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Over 84 billion monthly SMS messages are sent&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Average reaction rate for SMS messages is 70% while email messages is 30% (according to Mobile Marketing Watch)&lt;br&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Annual SMS sent in 2008 amounts to 1.01 trillion&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's simple. People don't redeem paper coupons like they used to. It's a hassle to print them, cut them out, and remember to keep them in your pockets so you can have them handy just at the right moment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On the other hand, people have their phones with them at all times and so the redemption&lt;br&gt;rates for mobile coupons are much higher compared to paper coupons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are currently running an introductory launch special which includes text message marketing with our other features including a premium profile, ad spot, home page slide, featured business listing, and more!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact us for more information!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:info@bendnightout.com&quot;&gt;info@bendnightout.com&lt;/a&gt; or call 541-639-1600</description>
