Best practices for SMS/Text Marketing

• Before adopting SMS marketing strategy you should

1. Acquire User Consent

• Just because you have contact numbers, you are
  not free to send marketing messages to anyone.
  The user must actively opt-in to receive your
  text messages while sharing the phone number. By
  sending unsolicited SMS, you may incur heavy
  fines. This can impact your business image in the
  market.
• If you are wondering how to get user consent then
  simply visit www.premiumtollfreevanity.com, to
  know about our transparent opt-in confirmation
  service. Your customer can opt-in for promotional
  messages by texting to the toll-free vanity
  number with approved keyword else he can call
  the number too and enter your code.
• When you receive user consent, it creates greater
  responsibility. Therefore along with opt-in, the
  subscriber should be provided a clear way to opt
  out of the SMS/ Text marketing campaign anytime
  he wants. Such transparency helps the user
  establish his credibility in the market.

2. Focus on Text Language

• There is no set of rules that determine the body
  of text. Still it is advised that you keep the
  SMS simple, clear and grammatically correct. Yes,
  it is true that you have to manage with 160
  characters but then dont use shorthand to spoil
  the content!
• Your SMS should look like it is written by an
  experienced businessman or professional and not
  some teenager! So stay away from words like '2'
  for 'to', 'U' for 'you', 'gr8' for 'great', 'dis'
  for 'this' and so on.

3. Right Time to Text

• You need to decide carefully when to send the
  SMS. A midnight beep that wakes up your customer
  is likely to irritate him more, no matter how
  enticing the offer is. Hence it is advised that
  you stick to normal/expected hours to send text
  messages.
• At the same time, this is also true that right
  messages at the right time can prove to be quite
  effective. Visit www.premiumtollfreevanity.com to
  know about our text scheduling tool that lets you
  send bulk as well as single SMS/Text messages at
  specific day and time.

4. Send SMS as part of cross channel marketing

• A study says that customer response rate is 40
  higher when SMS is included in multi-channel
  marketing. Premiumtollfreevanity tool lets you
  leverage SMS by weaving it into your
  cross-channel marketing campaign.
• For instance say you are an artist planning to
  organize an art exhibition. You could set up a
  schedule that sends SMS to your contacts
  informing them about the upcoming event.
• You can further follow up with email if the SMS
  fails to garner enough response.

5. Be Innovative and Create Value for Customers

• Campaigns often fail either because users dont
  understand the incentive or dont know how to get
  it! Always keep in mind one simple fact, your
  customer has given you permission to send message
  only because they expect to receive something
  worth their while.
•  
• Therefore make sure you plan the SMS/Text
  campaign in an innovative and profitable manner
  thus providing subscribers with something of
  value.
• Take a look at Business SMS/Text section of
  www.premiumtollfreevanity.com to know how you can
  send discounts, special offers, daily deals,
  store details, and other relevant information to
  your opt-in callers. SMS service on our toll-free
  vanity numbers is nationwide.

6. Include Disclaimers

• As per CTIA, your text marketing message should
  include the clause "Msg Data rates may apply".
  The Text marketing service that
  Premiumtollfreevanity offers helps insert these
  words by default in the correct places.
• The disclaimer appears only once when the
  subscriber joins your list and not every time he
  receives message from your end.

7.Add Personal Touch

  willingness to connect with users. This is a
  one-to-one communication channel that works best
  when you render a personal touch to it. So the
  more you can personalize it, the better.
