Business SMS: effective for professional campaigns

SMS is the most effective communication channel for professional campaigns. Fast and easy to set up, sending SMS allows you to reach all your customers at once on their mobile numbers, thanks in particular to its impressive open rate. With a marketing SMS campaign, you stay in touch with every one of your contacts and build a close relationship online. You can send bulk SMS for all your needs, whether for informational, alert, advertising, or commercial purposes:

• Send customer information (order tracking, product availability, appointment confirmation, etc.).
• Send surveys, satisfaction questionnaires, etc.
• Announce a new product, offer, news, or event (private sales, etc.)

For companies in any field, there are professional web platforms that offer online SMS sending solutions. It is essential to have this type of web platform to take full advantage of communicating via SMS. They also allow you to send bulk messages at affordable rates.

Business SMS: to strengthen your customer relationship

Sending marketing texts to mobile devices allows you to reach your contacts faster and more easily than by using traditional channels (emailing, radio or TV advertising, etc.). With text messaging, you are guaranteed a higher response rate. Indeed, users are glued to their phones these days. You are sure to reach them wherever they are and at any time, in France or elsewhere. Depending on your campaign goal, you can send a commercial or advertising SMS, or request a text reply from your recipients. The latter is ideal for satisfaction surveys. You can also use text messaging for after-sales service. Handling an issue by exchanging messages with someone who cannot make a call demonstrates your adaptability. This type of service helps build a close relationship with your customers and will strengthen their trust in your brand. Contact your customers on their mobile phones sparingly so as not to overwhelm them; send them targeted information that meets their expectations, such as private services or promotional offers for their birthday or a loyalty reward.
