Long before email was prevalent, companies were using fax machines to get across time sensitive data that couldn’t wait for the normal mailing route. Soon, marketers began utilizing a fax broadcast as a way to tap into the business market. Today, faxing is used by thousands of companies and is still a viable communication method especially for those doing business-to-business marketing. mobileStorm has integrated faxing into our growing suite of messaging options to help our clients take advantage of this market and provide yet another way to think outside of the inbox.
