• A personalized marketing campaign
The first potential use for an SMS distribution system integrated into a website is, of course, running promotional campaigns. These types of operations can have several objectives:
Increase website traffic by promoting specific items or options. To do this, you can offer an exceptional, time-limited discount.
Promote specific items or services to existing customers. The goal is to increase sales and move products that aren't selling well. The principle is to leverage your customer lists to offer flash sales, free gifts with every order, or significant discounts on a specific department of your online store.
Boost traffic to your site and increase the frequency of customer purchases. For the best results, it is best to create a loyalty club that allows members to enjoy exclusive offers and significant promotions directly on their iOS or other mobile devices. Customers choose to subscribe to the distribution list and will then regularly receive personalized offers to encourage them to place a new order.
• Increase your website's security
Mobile text messages can also be used to implement applications that increase website security by using two-factor authentication. The concept is quite easy to implement and is a system chosen by more and more online businesses and websites. It is, for example, the system used by most online banks.
Two-factor authentication involves automatically sending a code via mobile message to every user who wants to log in to the service. The user then simply enters the received code to verify their identity. This system can be used at login, to validate a payment, or to perform a potentially risky operation.
• Inform your customers in real time
Mobile messages allow you to convey information quickly and instantly. It is therefore the ideal tool for sending confirmations or notifications. You can choose to send an SMS to your customers' Android, iOS, or other smartphones to confirm their order, confirm payment, notify them of their order shipment, or inform them of the availability of the items they have chosen.
