Communicate in Real Time

When time is of the essence, messaging is a great communications tool for quick and effective delivery. SMS messaging enables businesses to have a direct connection with their customers. Some of the many benefits of using messaging include timely delivery, cost efficiency, the ability to schedule message notifications ahead of time and instant visibility.

Engage Customers During the Buying Journey

Through the use of SMS messaging, a business can better engage with customers throughout the entire buying journey so that they don't lose out on potential revenue opportunities.

  • Acquisition - Build a database of customers who elect to interact with your brand and receive communications
  • Sales Growth - Communicate with customers in your opt-in database with targeted, relevant information such as sales alerts, coupons, holiday hours, etc.
  • Loyalty - Reward loyalty club members/ frequent shoppers with special offers such as “bonus” coupons, limited time only sales and special events

Augment Live Agent Interactions

As businesses with call centers or support lines seek ways to improve customer engagement, they turn to omnichannel communication options like SMS messaging and chatbots. These applications enable businesses to converse with customers in their preferred method while augmenting their live agent responsibilities so that they can respond faster and more efficiently.
