Increase Effectiveness of Your Marketing Initiatives with Missed Call Services
While internet is still in its early stage of outreach in India, mobile phones have penetrated even at the grassroots level. With over 833 million active mobile connections across the country, it has outnumbered the reach of other traditional media like newspaper and television. Mobiles have become a preferred choice for marketers to instantly reach out to the target audience, since people are always accompanied by their mobiles.
Capitalizing on the widespread use of mobile phones, marketers have adopted new age missed call services to enhance the effectiveness of their marketing efforts. Missed calls can be configured to generate any desired response in the form of callback or a text message. It can also be used to take a vote, verify mobile numbers, register for various offers and much more.
