Reasons To Use Enterprise SMS
Though this may seem like a all to well-known list, we believed it was worth visiting again... just in case you are still wondering what motivation could you possibly have for using Enterprise SMS within your enterprise or business.
SMS is almost instantaneous
When a text message is sent using SMS it is almost instantly received by the recipient, in fact many service level agreements demand that Enterprise SMS delivery occurs within 60 seconds. This is predominantly helpful where there is a need for an urgent communication to get out to your customers that needs to be delivered with the greatest alacrity.
Not only is the message for all practical purposes delivered immediately, but it is typically also read with the same promptness. Consequently, it gives your business an edge compared to other enterprises who rely on more traditional channels of communication.
SMS delivery success is almost 100%
Unlike other marketing channels Enterprise SMS has a high percentage guarantee of being delivered, this means a high chance of your customers receiving the message, and more importantly receiving and reading it when you need them to.
With TV (either terrestrial or satellite), radio or newsprint there is no inherent guarantee that when the message is transmitted that it will get to everyone, or perhaps even that it will be distributed the the time when you need it to. With email the success in delivery is far less with a chance of the email being bounced back to or being sent to junk folders as SPAM mail.
Enterprise SMS is cost effective
When it comes to the cost of communicating with your customers, Enterprise SMS can be one of the most cost-effective methods available. As a business proprietor you will find that the cost of placing an Ad in newsprints, or on television or radio compared to the cost of SMS, it is far less expensive.
As for email, though there are applications available such as Google's Gmail, or Microsoft's Hotmail, and Yahoo that are free, email does have its drawbacks where deliverability and timeliness are concerned. It is also important to remember that whilst for general use email is free, when you start doing email campaigns you will require dedicated technology or the services of an external company to process the bulk emails - all of which introduce a cost. When Enterprise SMS is used as the communication method for the enterprise you are getting the peace of mind and guarantee that your message will get to your customers in a timely manner. At the moment there are no spam filters on SMS messages!
SMS is inherently personal
Other forms of communication customarily rely on the mass messaging or broadcasting technique to get the message across. This means trying to be all things to all persons by being impersonal, which is not a superior business strategy in today's marketplace. SMS is very personal - it arrives on peoples phones which they carry with them, as not only do message reach directly to the recipient, creating the situation for one-to-one communication, but with new software being developed specific to SMS functionalities, messages can now include the recipient's name enhancing that tailored feel.
SMS is discrete
SMS provides the means to have a one-to-one dealings with customers without revealing any information to others that may be intended for only the customer. This is predominantly useful in the case of bill collections or classified information such as banking account data. This is something that a phone call may not be able to bestow.
Further more, the fact that an component of discretion and confidentiality is added to your business when dealing with customers, it will increase your customers' appreciation for trading with you.
SMS is to the point
With a limit of 160 characters, messages tend to be succinct and to the point. Enterprise SMS is to the point and to the point. It is a great way to get bits of information out there, quickly and straightforwardly. Just simply click on the message read it and put it back, it's that easy.
SMS is exclusive
One of the best features for businesses is the fact that SMS is exclusive. What this means is that you have a one-on-one opportunity to market your products or services to your customers without having to ‘fight' your competitors for the attention of said customers; it will be just you and your customer. This gives you the opportunity to nurture that relationship into a trusting and loyal one, and keep customers buying from your business and not your competitors.
SMS can be less intrusive
Unlike other forms of communication Enterprise SMS is less intrusive. This means your customers can be more sympathetic to your marketing message, and will be more likely to act in your favour; whether it is to visit a website, make a phone call, or engage in a text campaign.
Everyone has a mobile phone
If not for any of the plethora of reasons referred to above, the premier reason you should be using Enterprise SMS within your business enterprise is the fact that everyone has a mobile phone. In fact, in the UK, there are more mobile telephones than there are people! Businesses are continuously trying to reach out to all their customers both existing and prospective to make certain optimal brand awareness, and with SMS messaging this reach is surefire.
