With a population of just over 200 million, Brazil has 284,2 million mobile phones in use, making it the 4th largest mobile market in the world after China, India, and the US. It’s a constantly growing market too – the annual growth rate for mobile phone penetration in Brazil is currently approximately 22% year on year.
According to a 2016 study, only 33.4% of the Brazilian population used a smartphone. And, since SMS messages can be received by even the most basic feature phones, that’s a massive opportunity for businesses to reach the masses in Brazil.

With an open rate of 98% and with up to 90% of people receiving SMS marketing messages, reading them within three seconds, it’s pretty obvious why text marketing is so successful.
Here are just four of the many ways you can use SMS messaging to grow your business and tap into this fast-growing market:
Appointment reminders and confirmations: When a customer forgets about a scheduled appointment or doesn’t cancel their bookings, your business suffers – after all, you could have filled that appointment with a new booking. Send automated reminder messages to ensure that appointments aren’t forgotten.
