The acronym SMS stands for short-message service. It's the most effective and efficient way to reach all or parts of your customer base.
With MMS, standing for multimedia messaging service, you can use multiple means of communication to include pictures, audio, and animation.
You'll have to select a basic word that is a key association with your business or organization that users can text-in to your short code to opt-in for your text messages.
Similar to marketing campaigns whereby customers are reached via email, SMS campaigns are instantly accessed on their phones by those who have opted to join the program. They increase awareness of products, services, contests, and a myriad of other offerings and information which are limited only by imagination.
This is the contact list of people in your database who have given you permission to receive SMS texts. You can easily convert your email subscribers to SMS subscribers by sending them an email about this faster and more efficient service with an opt-in form where they can provide their cell phone number and an electronic signature to show they have approved of receiving messages this way.
Segmentation allows you to ensure that the most relevant information is getting to the group of people most likely to respond and have interest. It's used as a targeted marketing technique.
There's no need to rewrite all messages. You'll create templates that will allow you to store SMS messages for use in the future. For instance, a thank you for a subscription and a welcome to your SMS community of subscribers can be made into a template for time efficiency. Any updates or changes are made without having to rewrite the whole text.
These are messages that go out automatically that you set to send messages to your subscribers or segments of them without having to do anything further.
