How to Launch SMS Marketing Campaign


by Yew Wai Leong

SMS marketing campaign is a great way to promote your products or service, increase customer loyalty and boost brand recognition. It is easy, convenient and very inexpensive in compare to other marketing tools with similar efficiency. SMS marketing campaigns are among the most effective forms of advertisement. Text messages have exceptionally high readability and are also well responded by the customers. Over 90% of mobile phone subscribers tend to read every SMS they receive including those sent by business. Even more, they feel that they are highly valued by the company that is sending them text messages.

Launching SMS marketing campaign can help you boost your business but sending text messages alone is inadequate to achieve the desired results. Successful SMS marketing campaigns are very easy but there are several things you should pay attention to before starting to send SMSes to a large number of people.

Finding the right SMS provider is first and perhaps the most important thing when launching SMS marketing campaign. Sending SMS via Internet is most convenient and cost-efficient way to reach the target audience in a very short period of time but it is crucial to make sure that the chosen provider enables you bulk messaging - sending text message online to thousands of people in few minutes only. Just as important is the ability to customize sender's ID which is by the way a very effective tool to increase brand awareness, to send personalized text messages and international support (the ability to send SMS worldwide). And you should not be charged for using any of the mentioned features. You should pay for sent SMS only which is one of the main advantages of sending SMS via Internet.

Another very important thing in SMS marketing is to avoid bombarding your customers with text messages. Sending SMS is a very personal marketing tool and too many SMSes can have the opposite effect from that intended. Even more, the customers may start to consider them annoying and unsubscribe from your contact list. For that reason you should launch SMS marketing campaign only when you have valuable information for your customers in order to make them feel that they can benefit from receiving your text messages. Just as important is to choose proper timing. The customers should have enough time to react but no too much time in order to make sure that they do not forget about it.
