Send SMS from online solutions

Companies and merchants need to use a high-performance communication tool to promote their brand and increase their visibility and reputation.

By using professional bulk SMS, every company can now easily implement a large-scale promotional tool at a lower cost.

In fact, sending professional messages from the Internet is inexpensive: the more SMS messages sent, the lower the rates.

Furthermore, sending professional bulk SMS from online SMS sending platforms like Octopush offers a solution with essential advantages, namely: personalization features, scheduled sending, and bulk messaging. It allows you to send highly targeted messages to a large number of prospects via their mobile numbers.

Octopush and its SMS sending platform comply with French regulations. All SMS messages include "STOP" to limit misuse and allow recipients to unsubscribe if they wish. The sender of the SMS must also be clearly identified.

Professional SMS therefore allows you to promote your business, boost interactions, improve customer relationships, and win over prospects. Integrated into a multichannel advertising strategy, SMS delivers impressive campaign results.

What is the difference between professional SMS and low-cost SMS?

Given the existing market offer for SMS communication, it is common to find companies that offer low-priced SMS as part of their services.

As the name suggests, low-cost refers to sending SMS at a price lower than the market rate.

This offer may seem advantageous, but it must be taken into account that, as a cheap tool, it lacks the essential features for any company's marketing processes, such as statistics on open and click-through rates. Furthermore, these services do not use a secure network to ensure reliable information management.

Professional SMS provided by Octopush are transmitted via multiple mobile networks worldwide, thus guaranteeing the transmission of information and the security of your contacts' personal data.

The different types of professional SMS campaigns

There is a wide range of professional promotional campaigns to communicate with customers and prospects:

• Informational SMS
• SMS alerts
• Data collection SMS
• Promotional SMS
• SMS for voting, polls, or surveys
• SMS for contests, sweepstakes, etc.

Send professional SMS from the Web

There are many software programs, websites, email services, carriers, and multi-platform applications that allow you to send SMS via the Internet without using your phone.

Professional platforms like Octopush make it easy to manage your contact lists while automating tasks such as creating contact segments, automating sends, or using message templates.

Sending professional SMS from the Web is accessible to everyone. There are many online sites that offer SMS sending services. Many mobile carrier websites offer SMS packages to deliver a set number of SMS per day.

This allows you to communicate in a limited, concise, and fast way. However, while basic, sending SMS also serves many other purposes.

For professionals who are often on the move, it is possible to create professional SMS from phones, computers, and tablets—whether on Windows, Android, or iOS—to simplify your daily routine and send information via SMS wherever you are.

Use your software for professional communications

The use of SaaS platforms is widespread in the SMS communication industry. However, for organizations that have their own task management software, it is more beneficial to integrate SMS communications via an API.

The API interface is advantageous in that it is compatible with both CRM software and e-commerce plugins. Furthermore, every developer can customize our API's features and adapt them to their specific needs.

Integrate your own instant messaging mechanism into your software and add the features you truly need.
