BENEFITS OF TEXT MARKETING

    • Build Loyal Customers

      SMS Marketing is a great channel to engage and build loyal customers. Offer your customers promotions and offer information about your business when you feel the need. This makes your customers / clients feel appreciated by keeping them the main focus of your business. The more you give, the more you get back.
 
    • Generate word of mouth

      Use SMS to not only engage your existing customers but also drive new business to your company. If you have something of value to offer your customers, they will spread the word to family, friends and colleagues. Word of mouth is a powerful tool and SMS promotes this with instant communication.
 
    • Improve communication

      Communication is key to building any long term relationship. SMS Marketing can be of great benefit when building on these relationships. SMS is a personal message from you to your audience. Let them in on the secret sale, a simple thank you message after a purchase, inform them of any sales/promotional offers, when their delivery is ready, the list is endless. SMS Marketing is an easy, fast and reliable way to communicate with all of your customers.
 
    • Fast and Effective

      SMS Marketing allows you to reach a large number of people all at the same time. Text Messaging is an instant marketing tool, getting your message into the hands of the right audience, when you want it. Customers keep their mobile phones on hand, making it easy to communicate your message to them.
 
    • Opt-In Option

      Building your database correctly is of vital importance, not only for Data Protection purposes but also by having your customers sign up to hear from you, you have already started the sales process. These Opt in’s are qualified existing or potential customers, they want to hear from you, don’t disappoint them.
