Decisions on how to send out messages in the 1990’s were primarily based upon urgency and budget. If money was tight or the issue was not pressing, then the USPS was fine for sending and receiving a letter in a week or so. If the message was urgent, then a pricey long distance call or overnight delivery was made. The advent of public email services produced a paradigm shift in response time expectations, from a week (USPS) to a same day reply….OR BETTER.
Fast forward this to present day, where email remains prominent, telephone costs have flattened, and text messaging is part of our social DNA.
To maximize response rates, the real challenge today is being able to reach people using the style of communication that gets their attention.
Consider these facts:
- DMR Business Statistics. Each day, the average office worker receives 121 emails and sends out 40. 86% of professionals name Email as their favorite mode of communication.
- Pew Research Center. 91% of Americans have a mobile phone that is also text-ready.
- Dynmark, Mobile Intelligence Review: Edition 2, 2015. Based upon 2017 research, 98% of text messages are read within 2 minutes.
- Pew Research Center. As of 2015, millennials (today’s heaviest text users) have surpassed Gen Xers as being the most prominently represented generation in the modern workforce.
