The landscape is evolving at breakneck speed, and one superhero has emerged amidst the digital hustle—SMS marketing. Projected to catapult to a jaw-dropping 750 billion baht by 2025, according to the Electronic Transactions Development Agency (ETDA), the e-commerce realm is riding high on waves of innovation and technological advancement.
Why, you might ask, has SMS marketing become the crown jewel in this digital treasure trove? The answer is as clear as a summer’s day on the Thai coast—it’s all about immediacy and impact.

SMS marketing is outdated. Why not just use social media platforms which are much more flexible?
Social media algorithms make it hard for businesses to get visibility without paying. SMS is direct; it’s like you have a guaranteed audience.
I agree with Larry. Plus, SMS open rates are much higher!
But do people really want their phone blowing up with messages? That seems pretty intrusive.
Doesn’t anyone worry about privacy with SMS marketing? It’s like companies are in your pocket!
Honestly, SMS is way too basic. In 2025, we should be focusing on AI and more intelligent systems.
But that’s missing the point of SMS! It’s not about complexity; it’s about reaching customers fast and effectively.
Just seems like we’re not using technology’s full potential if we stick with SMS.
Thailand leading the e-commerce through SMS is inspiring. It’s about using what works for them.
It’s impressive, but it’s not unique. Other countries are adopting similar strategies.
How sustainable is this SMS wave if the tech world keeps evolving at this pace?
Most tech fads pass, but SMS has been around for decades and still thrives. That’s staying power!
I’ve received lots of spam via SMS lately. How do we mitigate that?
Countries should have strict regulations, like opt-in options, to protect consumers from SMS spam.
Yes, but businesses should also act responsibly!
It’s amazing seeing a nation’s economic growth linked with tech adoption. Real-world education.
Isn’t it risky to rely so heavily on one marketing method? Diversification is key, right?
Every tech tool has a shelf life. SMS might be thriving in Thailand now, but what’s next?
The success in rural areas is what stands out to me. SMS is bridging digital divides.
Exactly! It levels the playing field for businesses across different regions.
I wonder if SMS marketing might lead to consumer burnout. Too much direct marketing can turn people off.
That’s precisely my concern. Excessive messages become noise!
We should be celebrating the ingenuity here. Thailand’s strategy is anything but stagnant.
Yeah, they’re setting a standard for other emerging markets to follow.
I find the idea of a ‘digital genie’ amusing! Yet, SMS marketing does have that magic touch, especially with its immediacy.
E-commerce will change in unpredictable ways. SMS might not always be the go-to solution.
True, but businesses need to adapt quickly and efficiently to stay effective.
Exactly, adaptability is key in a tech-driven world.
