SMS Marketing to Agents โ Still Effective in 2025?
With WhatsApp dominating communication in Singapore, is SMS marketing to property agents still worth it? The short answer: yes โ but only when used strategically. Hereโs what works (and what doesnโt) in 2025.
Why SMS Still Works
- Universal reach โ every mobile number can receive SMS
- No internet needed โ SMS works even without Wi-Fi/data
- Good for alerts โ reminders, deadlines, urgent notices
Limitations of SMS in 2025
- โ Lower response rates vs WhatsApp
- โ More expensive than email
- โ No multimedia (brochures, decks, images)
Best Use Cases for SMS Marketing
- Event reminders โ โViewing starts in 1 hourโ
- Last-minute updates โ โSlots closing todayโ
- Fallback channel โ for agents who donโt reply on WhatsApp/email

How SMS Compares to WhatsApp & Email
| Channel | Open Rate | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| 20โ30% | Brochures, decks, detailed info | |
| 90%+ | Quick offers, conversations, co-broke deals | |
| SMS | 60โ70% | Reminders, urgent alerts |
Why Verified Numbers Matter
Free or outdated lists often include wrong numbers. That means wasted SMS credits and poor ROI. Verified databases ensure every SMS hits a real, licensed agent.
