Text allows you to deliver your message straight to your customers, colleagues, or team members easily, cheaply and at a time to have the greatest impact. Unlike postal
and courier services text messaging is instant and a fraction of the cost, and unlike email your message is delivered direct to the recipient who will probably read it straight away.
Text messages can be used for a multitude of purposes from keeping customers informed, organising and reminding customers and colleagues of meetings and appointments, raising
alerts for plant operators and field service engineers, through to mass marketing campaigns and promotional vouchers. Traditionally text messages had to be created individually using a mobile
phone and were cumbersome to produce. Today we can use computers to create and distribute our text messages, or even have the computer generate automatic notifications, making
the entire process much easier, cheaper and quicker. Such is the potential for text messaging and so easy is it to implement that we now find ourselves limited only by our
imagination.
Because mobile phones are, well mobile, we carry them around with us nearly all day and usually respond to them within a matter of seconds. Other than calling each
recipient on their mobile, which can be time consuming, expensive and intrusive, there is no other way of delivering your message so efficiently and knowing
that it will be seen. The recipient(s) can reply by text themselves, or use telephone numbers, email and website addresses embedded in the text message to respond to
you straight away. This not only provides an efficient means of sending your message but can be used to reduce the turnaround time of tasks that may currently take hours, days
or weeks.
Marketing in particular can benefit hugely from the use of business text messaging because your customer will read the text and absord your message. You can make your customers aware
of offers, promotions and events or react to specific occurrences such as new properties becoming available. Text messages can be sent immediately or be queued to be delivered at a
time to create the greatest impact. Our time built in expiry facility means that any messages which could not be delivered, will not be delivered after your event or promotion has taken
place.
We provide a simple, easy to use interface so that you can quickly create and send text messages to single or multiple recipients with the minimum of effort. You can create address
books to save and reuse phone numbers and group contacts for sending text messages to groups of recipients in your address book. If that wasn’t enough you can also create your own
message template and reuse this so there’s no need to retype your message each time you need to send a text.
