Marketing with SMS Text
Competitions such as ‘Win the latest designer handbag’ or offers such as ‘Get one month free calls’ are a great way to generate interest via text, and responses can be routed via an 0901 premium rate number or text to short code 66777.
General customer updates and newsletter notifications can also be effectively communicated by SMS.
Voucher Promotions work by inviting the recipient to text back to receive a numbered voucher on return. Promotions of this nature can be adapted to accommodate all industry types and ultimately help build brand awareness, customer loyalty and maximise on discount and awards schemes.
