In the ever-evolving world of technology, it’s easy to get swept up in the latest communication trends. From flashy social media platforms to innovative email campaigns, the ways to connect with your audience are seemingly endless. However, amidst all this digital noise, there remains a classic and effective medium that has stood the test of time: SMS.
Have you drifted away from using SMS to reach your customers? Here’s a gentle reminder of why this medium is still one of the most potent tools in your arsenal.
Instant Reach and High Open Rates
Research consistently shows that 90% of SMS messages are read within 3 minutes of being received. Compare that to email, where open rates hover around 20%. SMS cuts through the clutter, ensuring your message is seen.
Direct and Personal
Unlike social media or emails that can often feel impersonal, SMS has an intimate feel. When customers receive a text, it’s as if it’s coming directly from a trusted friend.
No Internet? No Problem!
While newer platforms require an internet connection, SMS does not. This means you can reach your customers even if they’re offline or in areas with spotty internet coverage.
Universality
While not everyone might have a social media account or checks their email regularly, almost everyone has a mobile phone capable of receiving SMS.
Adaptable to Current Trends
Modern SMS platforms offer features such as rich media sharing, chatbots, and integration with other marketing tools, making it adaptable to the needs of today’s businesses.
Cost-Effective
SMS campaigns can be tailored to fit any budget, and given their high open and conversion rates, they offer excellent return on investment.
Immediate Feedback Loop
SMS enables instant two-way communication. This facilitates prompt customer feedback, real-time problem-solving, and faster decision-making.
I needed to target a specific clientele using filters in my Square customer database. Notify is well adapted for this purpose. I have good feedback from my targeted clients and I like the billing structure. Support is responsive and dedicated to a prompt positive outcome.
