SMS marketing is the sending of text messages to a group of customers at once — with promotions, notifications, or service information. Unlike ads on social media, an SMS reaches any phone and requires no internet, app, or subscription. That is exactly why in Tajikistan, where mobile coverage is broader than stable internet access, SMS remains one of the most reliable channels for reaching customers.

Why SMS works

The average open rate of SMS reaches 90–98%, and most messages are read within the first few minutes of delivery. By comparison, only a small share of the audience sees emails or social media posts. SMS lands directly in the customer's hands.

Who it's for

Shops and restaurants — for promotions and repeat sales. Banks and microfinance organizations — for OTP codes and payment reminders. Delivery services — for order status updates. Clinics and salons — for appointment reminders. In essence, SMS marketing is useful for any business that has a customer base and phone numbers.
