Text message marketing works best when it is integrated into your overall marketing strategy. SMS should not be considered as a replacement or alternative to other communication platforms, such as social media or email marketing.
SMS can be used simultaneously with other marketing platforms in a number of different ways. One example is that you could use SMS to capture email addresses which will increase your email data for future campaigns. Another option is to run a social media competition requiring customers to text to enter, which will help build your contact list. A final example is that SMS could also be used to promote your app or any in-store events that are upcoming.
BENEFITS OF USING THE REACH MESSAGING PLATFORM
Text message marketing has a maximum limit of 160-characters per message. This gives you approximately 20-40 words, so it is important that you are direct and get straight to the point.
The advantage of having a character limit is that your message will be clear and concise. With the average text taking only five seconds to read, customers will see your updates almost instantly. This can be much more effective than alternative marketing channels that have a large amount of text or design included, making it hard for customers to retrieve important information. Therefore, whilst it can sometimes be challenging to stay under the 160-character limit, your customers will thank you for it.
Since 90% of texts are read within 3 minutes, you’ll get instant results when you send out a campaign via SMS.
The advantage of text message marketing is that you will be able to determine campaign success fairly quickly. Since texts are read almost instantly, you should start to see a response from customers right away. When analysing performance, our reporting tools do all the work for you. You’ll be able to find out how many of your messages have been delivered and read as well as the number of short link clicks that you have received. In comparison, other marketing channels such as social media or print can sometimes take days, weeks or even months before you are able to determine success levels.
Sending out a text message marketing campaign can be done within minutes and on the go.
A big advantage of using SMS is that you can send out campaigns very quickly. This means that you won’t have to spend much time planning a campaign. All you need to do is sign in, type out a 160-character message and then hit send! This allows you to focus the majority of your time working on other valuable tasks. Secondly, since SMS campaigns can be sent quickly, you can respond to major events as and when they happen.
