Bulk SMS

Advantages of Bulk SMS Marketing

SMS marketing is one of the most efficient methods of reaching the biggest number of people in the shortest amount of time. According to statistics from the industry, the majority of SMS messages are opened and read within five seconds after being sent. When compared to email marketing, which has an open rate of 20 percent on average, SMS marketing appears to be a more effective marketing strategy.

Taking into consideration that in the world there are more than 8.3 billion mobile phone users, SMS marketing has a huge potential. All of your communications, whether they are promotional, transactional, or bulk SMS, give you the chance to reach a growing number of people quickly. Additionally, with bulk SMS marketing campaigns benefits, the likelihood of your SMS messages being seen and reacted to immediately is higher than with traditional marketing methods. SMS marketing will surely be a key part of your company's multichannel, integrated marketing strategy.

One of the main benefits about bulk SMS marketing is that the SMS messages are sent and received in real time.

How to start with Bulk SMS marketing

To use bulk SMS for marketing you need to follow these steps:

• Register for an account: as a bulk SMS service provider, we require you to create an account before you can start using our services.
• Import your contacts: you can import your contacts from file, such as CSV or Excel spreadsheet. Invalid and duplicate numbers will automatically removed. Besides the phone numbers, the files can contain additional information for each contact, such as their name, email address or any other relevant data. Also, make sure you have permission to send SMS to these contacts, either through an opt-in mechanism or another way.
• Write your text message: your message should be clear, concise, and engaging. Include a call-to-action to encourage recipients to take the desired action, such as visiting your website or making a purchase.

It's usually a good idea to send bulk SMS messages only to people who have agreed to receive your text messages. Their consent to receive SMS from you could have happened through a sign-up or opt-in form or other ways. Sending messages to people who haven't given you permission can be considered spam and can hurt your reputation.
