Showpig.com  is excited to a launch a new advertising opportunity that will expand the promotional reach for its consignors. This new tool, called ShowpigTXT, is a text message marketing tool that allows consignors or vendors to send promotional communication to the entire  Showpig.com contact list or targeted by state.”This unique feature will help customers target their communication and expand their reach to customers likely to buy in their area. With the growing challenges of a flooded market and the difficulty to reach the masses quickly via social media, ShowpigTXT is a great additional advertising avenue to ensure consignors’ most important messages are being delivered. With communication being delivered to the palm of a hand and the 98% open rate industry average, ShowpigTXT is a no brainer to add to any advertising strategy. "We couldn't be more excited to offer ShowpigTXT as a new advertising option for our customers. We think this will further help consignors to reach their target audiences and grow their business. This option will allow customers to reach past buyers and bidders from our site that they may not already have as a customer or may not reach in their standard pre-sale communication. Couple this with the results we have seen from text message marketing, and I have no doubt this will be an effective investment and a new way to communicate with prospective buyers!” Says Katey Brattain, Online Auction Account Manager & Advertising The cost to utilize the ShowpigTXT service is $750 and $0.10 per contact. Contacts can be segmented based on state only at this time. Only two messages a week will be sent to the same number, and these will be scheduled on a first come, first served basis. When a customer purchases a ShowpigTXT, our team will work closely with the customer to not only choose the best date and time to send, but also the best messaging to ensure a strong open and action rate.
