Reinvent your marketing and rethink the way you communicate with your target audience!

Why send SMS online?

Sending SMS online is a solution perfectly suited for companies that want to communicate effectively with their target audience. Their messages are delivered directly to their contacts' mobile phone numbers.

Of course, there is nothing stopping you from using email as a complement, as together, these two channels form a perfect combination for providing a smooth and seamless experience.

There are many advantages

  • Time savings and large audience management

It allows you to send highly targeted, bulk SMS with just one click. In a matter of seconds, you can reach a large number of people.

  • Strategic targeting

Recipients are intelligently categorized based on specific criteria: their purchasing behavior, the stage they are at in the customer journey, and their various interactions with your company (web page visits, link clicks, event registrations, etc.).

Everything is taken into account to create relevant groupings.

  • Personalization for greater relevance

It is easy to add your recipients' first names, your company name, specific offers, or even a precise date to your message. These elements make it more engaging and persuasive.

  • Real-time performance analysis

You can track your open, click-through, and conversion rates as they happen.

Why are companies adopting this technology?

Because it allows them to reach a vast number of people at the perfect time. The numbers speak for themselves!

Who doesn't have a mobile phone these days?

Hardly anyone...

And when you consider that over 90% of SMS are opened within 3 minutes of being sent, what more is there to say?

This guarantees high visibility and maximum impact, two undeniable assets for ensuring your messages are actually read.

Finally, SMS is the ideal channel for receiving notifications such as appointment or event reminders, as well as order confirmations and tracking: it is much more convenient to receive this type of crucial information directly on your phone.

Sending SMS via an API

Using an SMS API is advantageous compared to web applications, as you do not need an internet connection to communicate with your customers.

Your contacts simply need to have a mobile phone to receive your messages.

To get one, you need to use the services of a professional solutions provider.

Octopush, for example.

API

Thanks to a simple and intuitive interface, you can manage every message broadcast in just a few clicks, with no technical expertise required.

This acronym stands for "Application Programming Interface."

It allows two or more digital interfaces to communicate. In other words, it simplifies connecting software for data exchange. This can involve linking two pieces of software or a piece of software and a website.

Integrated into your email software or internal tools, it allows you to send bulk SMS and therefore strengthen the impact of your marketing campaigns.

Key features of Octopush

The Octopush SMS API is easy to use and revolutionizes marketing SMS delivery with its advanced features.

No matter the type of SMS you send—transactional, conversational, or promotional—you deliver impactful content that reaches your target audience instantly.

You have access to various sending, personalization, and targeting settings for more relevant and engaging interactions.

You can, of course, create automated scenarios to save time.

Our Octopush software integrates perfectly with your CRM and other applications to ensure fluid, centralized, and more impactful communication.

Your results are displayed in real-time (opens, clicks, and conversions), allowing you to make quick adjustments.

Examples of online SMS campaigns

Here are some concrete examples of the benefits of sending SMS online with Octopush.

In e-commerce

  • Before the purchase:

Send targeted and personalized promotions to boost your sales.

Example: "Hi {Prénom}, get 20% off your favorite items until tonight. Discover your selection here: {lien personnalisé}."

  • After a purchase:

An order confirmation SMS helps reassure your customers.

Example: "Thanks for your order, {Prénom}. It will be shipped within 5 business days. Track your package here: {lien de suivi}."

The same applies to package tracking texts, which show customers where their order is in real-time until delivery. These messages help build trust and satisfaction.

In the service sector

How can you optimize your marketing strategy?

Perhaps you could start by trying to reduce the number of missed appointments…

If your clients received automated reminders the day before or a few hours before their appointment, they wouldn't miss them anymore. It’s a great way to increase customer satisfaction and boost loyalty!

Example: "REMINDER. Hello {Prénom}, your appointment at {Nom du salon} is scheduled for {date} at {heure}. We look forward to seeing you! If needed, modify or cancel here."

Concept de communication

After they sign up for an offer, send them a thank you note—they’ll appreciate it.

Example: "Thank you, {Prénom}. We are delighted you chose {Nom de l’entreprise}. Need help or more info? We’re here for you: {lien}."

You can also ask them to regularly complete satisfaction surveys after a service.

In the events industry

To increase attendance rates, don't hesitate to send personalized invitations.

And don't forget to send reminders a few days or hours before the event, including essential information like the time and location.

Example: "REMINDER {Nom de l’événement}. {Prénom}, join us on {date} at {heure} at this address: {adresse}. We look forward to seeing you! For any questions, contact us here."

In the healthcare sector

To ensure better patient care, sending alerts, such as reminders to take medication or renew a prescription, is an excellent approach.

Similarly, medical appointment reminders help prevent no-shows.

Example: "Hello {Prénom}, the date of your appointment with Dr. {Nom} has been changed. We look forward to seeing you on {date} at {heure} at {nom de la clinique/adresse}. Please confirm by replying YES or contact us to reschedule."

With Octopush, tailor every campaign to your industry's needs and connect with your audience in a fast, direct, and effective way.
