For the 6.72 billionth time +1, Here’s the next big thing...

Hello there, we meet again!

Have you ever wondered how often you’ve been promised “the next big thing”?

I was just thinking about how Artificial intelligence, Cryptocurrency, Self-driving cars, VR glasses, you name it, have been called “the next big thing”.

So, out of curiosity, I asked my trusted old buddy about it, and he (Google) says there are 6.72 billion results on the internet.

What does that tell you?

If you’re thinking that “The next big thing” is an overused phrase, I shall neither agree nor dismiss that sentiment (wink), but there’s something else you might be missing. And I will tell you…after the drumroll.

Now, think of it like this: if many people are titling their blogs, books, and websites with “the next big thing”, then they must be getting results. Because it means that everyone (or almost everyone) is searching for the next big thing, figuratively and literally.

That includes your customers. And the easiest way to satisfy that itch is through SMS.

In fact,?

• 71% of consumers have subscribed to receive texts from businesses in the past year.
• Over 30% of consumers check their text notifications within 60 seconds of receiving a text, making that a few hours for emails.
• 53% of consumers would love to text a business back via two-way messaging.
