Bulk SMS Marketing
In our ever-advancing world, which yesterday’s new born technologies chase and eliminate technologies that were hardly developed couple months earlier, one may wonder whether an aging technology such as SMS has a right to exist using bulk SMS marketing.
Well, there are not enough words to describe how wrong one might be. The number of ways to implement SMS nowadays seems endless!
I’ll describe some in a glance. In a scenario where you run a business offering a service, which clients subscribe for a specific period. When the end of that period draws near, you have some options to retain them as customers. Some companies hire representatives who call them, a method what is both costly and ineffective; Some people do not like to talk on the phone or flat out refuse to do business that way. Perhaps the incoming call might feel imposing to the client or catch him at an inconvenient time, which will cause him to end the call abruptly without extending the service.
A cost-effective and less imposing way to deal with that scenario is to send automated rich advanced texts to those clients via SMS with links to your website. This procedure is hassle free for the service provider and a lot friendlier to the client, as he can check that message in his own time, ensuring that this potential client will actually be motivated and moved to an action without bothering him too much.
