Text Marketing v. Email Marketing and/or Social Media

So I just read this book: Make a Killing on Kindle. This guy learned the hard way that sending out email blasts ends in only about 10%, and I'm being generous, open/read rate. Of course, as I read through the book I did pick up a couple of things, but there is just nothing like text marketing.

It doesn't matter if you are an author, charitable foundation, musician, business, politician or political candidate, building a texting community of fans, customers or supporters is the best way to reach them quickly and efficiently. Building a texting community is the best was to support your cause, your business, your fans or your supporters. Once a solid community is built then your message being received is only seconds away, right into their cellphone.

Email is a thing of the past unless you are simply communicating with friends, co-workers or loved ones. However, building a texting community is a marketing strategy that has a completely different set of stats:

98% open/read rate,
70.6% click through rate.
90% of all text messages are read within 3 minutes of their delivery
Over 86% of Americans own a mobile phone
91% of all US mobile users keep their phone within arm’s reach
Over 68 million people are frequent text users
70% of smartphone users text.

Merry Christmas, America

Muslims take it upon themselves to dictate to the world what they think we should believe. But that is not the way things work in America. For America is still a Christian nation, regardless of what our ridiculous president may say.

Christmas is a time when the world stops, takes a breath and looks at itself and remembers the wonder and joy of the season. Although peace is gone from the earth until the return of Jesus Christ, we can still find that peace within our hearts and souls. We've only to turn to Jesus Christ to find that much needed peace.

First, and foremost, Christmas is all about Jesus Christ. Our Lord, Savior and Redeemer. It is about His birth at the meridian of time. He descended from His throne on high to come save all of God's children. He redeemed us in the Garden of Gethsemane and broke the bands of death when He rose three days later.

This is a simple version of the Christmas Story told by a little girl. The simplicity of it, as well as the message, is truly something to remember. For in the eyes of a child we often find pure truth.
