The challenges of B2B mobile prospecting from EMB Europe

The mobile phone has become an essential communication channel today, as its uses have developed. EMB experts decipher the challenges of mobile prospecting for businesses, particularly for B2B prospecting.

Mobile prospecting is still booming

Having been expanding for several years, mobile prospecting has increased since the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly with regard to the use of SMS. According to the 2022 SMS marketing barometer , this market grew by more than 12% compared to the previous year. 

If transactional SMS still represents the majority of the more than 12 billion SMS sent, nearly 5 billion promotional SMS were sent by brands in 2022. Which tends to confirm the status of SMS as the means of communication favored by companies to generate interactions with their customers and prospects. This is verified in uses, in particular with the development of the use of B2B SMS files by companies to carry out their commercial prospecting operations.

Stronger, more personalized interactions

Among the many benefits of mobile prospecting, engaging message recipients is arguably the most important, particularly with SMS.

Indeed, the figures observed, whether opening rates, reading rates, or even those relating to click rates, show that mobile prospecting is today the one which most favors interactions. This is particularly the case for prospecting by SMS which displays rates two to three times higher than those of other channels, and more particularly in B2B.

This is explained in particular by the direct and instant contact with the recipients of the messages. But also by the extremely fine personalization that can be implemented with mobile marketing.

With the evolution of uses, B2B SMS marketing has become democratized. Its use has changed. No more sending a single mass message. From now on, we favor more segmented and precisely targeted shipments.

Data= Fuel for Efficient Mobile Prospecting

To successfully implement effective personalization, it is necessary to have data complementary to the telephone number.
