  • 70% of smartphone users spend their time on just the three most frequently used apps.

  • 52% of apps lose half of their peak within three months of launch

SMS gains 98% better response rate over email or mobile app push notification

  • SMS is fast. You can send a message and the recipient will be notified within seconds
