As a response to this bulk SMS campaign, over 2.7 percent of the SMS recipients visited several Bistro Live outlets and spent above £8,000.
At the moment Bistro Live has a database which comprises of above 10,000 customers who agreed to receive promotional offers of the company via SMS. Statistical data from uSwitch says that above 60 billion bulk SMS messages are being sent every year by companies in the UK for marketing.
