Shortcodes in Ads Work: M:Metrics
M:Metrics has announced that the almost 30% of mobile subscribers responded to ads that included SMS shortcodes.
"These numbers are not unlike what we saw in e-mail responselinks during the mid-1990s as the Web emerged an advertising medium," said Will Hodgman, CEO, M:Metrics, who also founded AdRelevance, the global standard for advertising measurement on the Internet. "The growing adoption of major brands using SMS and the substantial consumer response rates indicate a couple of important trends: mobile as a commercial medium is on steroids; and multimedia convergence is real."
Personally this doesn't surprise me, with this type of response slowly starting to gain popularity amongst advertisers as an easy way of getting consumer opt-in or basic response.
