What is SMS Marketing?

SMS Marketing (also known as short message service marketing) is a tool used by businesses to send promotional text messages to their customers. This is perfect for sending customers product updates, special offers, or event invitations. The most important part of SMS marketing is that customers must opt themselves in to receive your messages.

Luckily it’s quite easy to get customer opt ins and build your subscriber database. SMS marketing is also perfect for getting a feel of what your customers are looking for, so you can run fun polls and incentivize them to fill them out by offering a coupon when they complete it. All in all, SMS marketing is simply the most effective way to build and audience and generate more revenue.

How SMS Marketing Works

  • Collect Contacts

    Before you can send a message, you need to have contacts opt in to receive them. There are 3 ways to do this:

    1. Mobile keywords allow customers to opt themselves in to your messaging campaigns by texting the keyword into your shortcode.

    2. Online signup pages allow customers to opt in by filling out a form on your website, giving you consent to message them.

    3. Provided you have express written consent from your customers, you can import their contact information into your SMS software.

  • Send Messages

To send a message, you just have to log in to your account and compose a message. You can then do things like schedule the message to be sent at a later date, target your message to a specific set of contacts, or attach links.

  • Track Results
