SMS or text marketing means sending promotional campaigns, transactional alerts, or time-sensitive offers for marketing purposes via text messaging. SMS marketing can yield incredible results for small- and medium-sized businesses because of its low costs, excellent delivery, and open rates.
Text messages represent the most direct line of communication with prospects. As long as there is consent for contacting, SMS will remain the most effective marketing strategy for most businesses.
Text marketing is widely used by local businesses such as dental clinics, real-estate agencies, restaurants, and more. Online businesses and eCommerce marketers are also beginning to adopt it as a strategy to connect with their clients.
Before you get started, you need to understand that SMS marketing is permission-based. You can only send a text to a number if that person wants to hear from you this way. Never send unsolicited texts to your customer base.
Here’s how you can get started with SMS marketing:
Collect preferences from your customers to perform better targeting or get to know your audience better with SMS surveys. This will help you develop more relevant campaigns in the future.
The cost of text messaging campaigns varies from one texting app to another. While other SMS providers offer monthly subscription plans, you pay only for what you use at TextMagic, so you have complete control over your budget.
Text campaign costs also depend on the country to which you are sending the texts. For example, the average price per 160-character text in the United States is $0.049, while in the United Kingdom it’s £0.04. This means that an SMS blast sent to 1,000 numbers in the U.S. will cost exactly $49.
SMS length can also impact the price of your communications. The number of SMS parts determines the final cost of your campaigns. The longer the text, the more you pay for your bulk campaigns. TextMagic calculates these costs as you compose your messages and lets you know exactly how much you will pay. You can also use our SMS length calculator to estimate the cost of your text messaging campaigns.
Please check out our SMS pricing page for details on all countries. We also offer a free calculator to help you estimate the average cost of sending mass text campaigns.
Sending multiple texts from a mobile device is extremely time-consuming. Sign-up for a free trial with TextMagic to start sending hundreds of bulk texts in seconds. To start sending texts from the computer, navigate to the Compose tab, write or import a recipient, and type in your text message. It is also possible to import an existing text template and use merge tags to personalize the SMS with client data.
Once your text is ready, hit send or schedule for later. All your conversation history is stored on the web app, so you can check it at any time. To reply to an existing conversation, navigate to it and input your reply. Texting from your computer has never been easier!
Business texting has strong engagement. Studies reveal that texts have a 98 percent read rate. Furthermore, the average click-through-rate for SMS is 35%, over ten times the CTR of emails.
The pervasiveness and low cost of texts make it an obvious choice for marketing teams. Here are a few simple ways to empower your customer base:
A toll-free number is a phone number that is free of charge for the calling party. Toll-free numbers are commonly used by businesses that want to encourage clients to reach out to them without charging extra fees for long-distance calls.
These numbers can also receive SMS as long as they are text-enabled. You can identify toll-free numbers by their three-digit prefixes similar to area codes (e.g., 833, 866, 888, 844, and 800 numbers). In North America, you must send your larger campaigns using a toll-free number or a 10DLC number.
You can use our text message app to send almost any file, including pictures, videos, PDF files, Excel spreadsheets, and more. TextMagic transforms these files into download links that are more cost-effective than SMS. Attach more information to your bulk texts without having to send expensive MMS with our SMS attachments feature.
We also offer true MMS capabilities of up to 525kb for the USA and Canada. SMS attachments support up to 10MB of data. Furthermore, MMS in the USA and Canada can only be sent from toll-free numbers, whereas SMS attachments are available globally, on all numbers.
Capture more phone numbers from your website and show your availability to customers with click-to-text forms. SMS forms are compatible with any platform or device and are easy to configure. To add SMS functionality to your website, follow the steps below:
You can create multiple forms with different settings or formats to segment contacts as they sign up to your SMS lists.
With so many business texting terms thrown around, it’s easy to become confused. We’ll explain the most common ones that you may encounter, as well as the differences between them:
10-digit long codes or A2P 10DLC numbers represent messaging solutions that allow businesses to send a large number of texts from a local number. In the past, 10-digit numbers were only used for P2P (person-to-person) messaging, but carriers have approved 10DLC for A2P (application-to-person) messaging.
10DLC numbers represent an ideal service for small businesses and enterprises because they have a higher throughput rate. Furthermore, these numbers are more effective than a vanity number or shortcode because they have a lower risk of spam. Lastly, 10-digit long codes are more cost-effective than shortcodes.
We are entering a new era of mobile texting as carriers are moving away from shared short codes. Starting March 2021, the main methods of sending bulk texts with TextMagic will be:
But which option is best for your business? Below are the main advantages and disadvantages of each business texting method:
