9 Best MMS Marketing Messages of 2020
MMS messages and SMS messages are two highly effective ways that brands can connect with their customers. These two methods have become synonymous in the text message marketing world, but these methods are different. MMS messages provide some serious benefits (that SMS messages lack) to your marketing efforts.

 

Benefits of MMS Messages

Below are just a few benefits of MMS messages:

  1. Character limit. Tatango allows for 5,000 characters of text per MMS message, compared to an SMS message that only allows 160 characters. Using MMS messaging is a great way to ensure that your brand’s message is clearly and eloquently delivered.
  2. Subject line. MMS messages allow for a subject line, which is another great way to catch your customers’ attention. Tatango allows for up to 40 characters within the subject line.
  3. Media content. When sending an MMS message, a brand has the opportunity to add media content, like a video, image, GIF, vCard, or even a sound file.
