Conclusions

SMS Marketing
Recommendation
1. Organization to control the spamming
2. Awareness campaigns are to be arranged for customers
3. Extensive advertisement is required
4. Proper feed back is provided to the customer
5. Try to generalize the idea of SMS marketing by describing its
advantages
6. Our institute should take the opportunity from PTA because
7. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has started a
project named SMS-based Information System for
educational institutions, to equip them with an interactive
mobile application for broadcasting important information to
students and their guardians on their mobile phones. It is a
system of sending SMS by using computer software developed
by PTA. It has been noted that usually management of
educational institutions relies on mail-correspondence with
guardians, which is costly and time consuming. PTA would
provide this software free of cost to educational institutions
across the country.
