SMS Broadcasting

Fast and Efficient Text Messaging

Whether it’s sales, marketing, improving customer service or appointment reminders, SMS is a fantastic way of delivering information.

Highly targeted, SMS Broadcasting eliminates the risk of ‘spam’ to deliver cost-effective and focused communication direct to your target audience. Messages are only delivered to those whose number you’ve already captured and who’ve expressed an interest in your organisation or service. Individuals who don’t want to receive information can be marked on your databases as having been ‘unsubscribed’.

Our system lets you choose whether the broadcast is delivered immediately or in the future. This forward planning is particularly useful to help you streamline and manage campaigns efficiently. You can also avoid transmitting unnecessary information by setting an expiry date and time, allowing messages to be cancelled automatically if they’ve not been delivered within your chosen timeframe.

For fast and accurate distribution of broadcasts, you can build your own databases and user groups. You can also save numbers received from other data capture methods or across your other SMS services to ensure you target the right people at the right time, every time.

SMS Marketing

Instant audience interaction

 

SMS Marketing creates an effective and immediate call to action. Consumers can respond directly by SMS to any advertising or marketing campaign. Inviting them to text a memorable keyword to a short code (e.g. ‘INFO’ to 78070) or long number (e.g. 07890123456) means they’ll receive a text reply instantly.

With up to 80 per cent of consumers failing to receive SMS marketing messages from their favourite brands, it makes sense to instantly engage with your audience to show them you care, secure their loyalty and gather valuable customer information.

Consumers simply enter a specified keyword at the start of their SMS message, for example, ‘INFO’ to request information or ‘OFFER’ to request a voucher code. Campaigns can be set up with a single memorable keyword: ‘SHAMPOO’, for instance, to request free samples of a specific product.

Take advantage of our easy-to-remember short codes for use in all your campaigns. Your audience will soon recognise you, your brand and your organisation. Alternatively, just use our standard 78070 short code number ( if your chosen keyword has not already been used with this number).

All campaigns are managed via our secure web-based portal. You can quickly allocate a keyword to each campaign and create multiple individual response messages. What’s more, you can opt to receive email alerts every time someone responds or view live response reporting via the management portal.

The speed and flexibility of the SMS Survey mean accurate responses can be available the same day your survey is launched.
