Create a promotion where users would invariably make use of SMS (text 12345 for a chance to enter; only something less cheesy), and introduce them to your service.
You've got to keep in mind, folks are kind of sensitive with SMS. Mobile carriers are stingy. Unless it's got a usability factor of "wow, this is something I really need to be using daily", you're going to have a hard time getting the use out of it.
SMS, by the nature of how it's currently being controlled is going to have a high barrier to entry as far as creating services goes.
Good luck.
- fuzzmeister 18y agoAny promotion I do would have to be based around the concept of also inviting others, as a chat service is obviously only useful with friends. Maybe people could become eligible after they invited x number of friends? I'll think about it, thanks for the input. As for the usability factor, I do think it is certainly there. I have often heard complaints that while texts can be sent to multiple people, replies only go to the sender, preventing group chat or collaboration. My service, in essence, provides that reply-all button. If you want to check it out, follow the directions at http://slide.fm/ http://slide.fm/ (I direct traffic from advertising to a different, more teen-friendly landing page, just FYI).
