What is Text Voting?

Text voting uses SMS messages in order to get feedback on the subscribers’ experience with your company. This is especially effective because text messages are seen more frequently than email polls and filled out far more often than paper surveys.

Text polls allow your business to branch questions into multiple directions based on responses received, and monitor your results to change your strategy when needed. With proper disclosure, data like customer names and emails will be collected automatically through the polling process, making your database of customers as up-to-date as possible.

With Trumpia, businesses can get valuable feedback and capture data from their subscribers. This will give you the information needed to better target your customers and improve customer satisfaction.

Why You Need Text To Vote

In the past, getting customer feedback could feel like an impossible task. Things like phone calls, direct mail and email polls were costly and took time. They may have their own advantages, but they all share the same disadvantage: they don't get you enough responses.

It is easy for a direct mail or email poll to get lost, and direct mail responses require customers to mail the survey back to you, including going to the post office. Luckily, in the modern marketplace, over 30% of consumers have given businesses permission to message them, often in exchange for offers. More and more businesses have paired polling with text messages and have seen some incredible results.

Here are some statistics showing why:

  • Text Messages Get Seen

    98% of text messages are red, compared to just 22% of emails, meaning you get 5x the responses!

  • Texting is Fast

    90% of texts are read within 3 minutes. This makes it the fastest way to get text polling results in any medium.

  • Text is Effective

    Text voting campaigns are responded to 7.5x more often and 60x quicker than email. That means more responses in a fraction of the time.

  • Texting is Common

    89% of consumers say they want to be able to text message businesses, but less than half of businesses can do this.

Why Text To Vote is Valuable for Your Business

A Text to Vote campaign can be a very useful tool for a variety of reasons. Not only is it easy for contacts to subscribe to your messages and stay engaged, but it also makes contacts feel like you care about what they have to say. SMS text messages allow companies to create interactive campaigns, and since Trumpia is two way text enabled, you can address any concerns or questions directly and quickly. All of this is useful when you are trying to improve your brand’s reputation.

One great feature of SMS voting is the fact that your customers can receive your text and respond to it on their own terms. They can choose to respond, or not, and they can respond at their convenience without any required personal contact that many people find too time consuming and view as a waste of their time.

Another great thing about text polling is the fact that people are comfortable with texting as part of their daily lives and therefore, when you send them a text, it's just second nature to respond just as they do with every other text they receive. And why not, it's quick, easy and non-invasive!

Text voting works pretty much the same regardless of which company you choose to use. However, there are some companies who offer more options than others, like Trumpia. Therefore, you should take some time to weigh the costs versus the benefits of each before you make any decisions.

Text to vote campaigns also allow your audience to text in to vote for things in order to determine a winner. This is perfect for things like mobile marketing campaigns or for fun things like live polls at sporting events.
