Some ways your business could benefit from our texting services
To help you determine if our texting services are right for your business we have created some example campaigns you could create with our mobile marketing free trial.
2-way interactive text services including:
Loyalty schemes
Mobile phones are uniquely personal, which means you can target individuals and personalise your messages to them. With The Text Works you can include up to ten variables in each message.
Opinion polls
Text voting enables you to immediately gauge audience opinion. It is used to great effect by all types of media companies, who use the results as instant content for features or programmes. All text message voting also creates a great opt-in database that you can use for future promotions.
Lead generation
By adding a short code to promotional material such as posters, ads, flyers etc. you can generate warm leads at a fraction of the cost of other methods.
Live switchboard
You can use The Text Works chat facility to interact with customers and manage their queries via SMS.
Store locator
You can drive footfall to your store or business by offering a simple store locator feature. Subscribers simply text you their post code or the name of a town and you reply with details of your nearest outlet. You can also use this opportunity to encourage a purchase by including a voucher with your reply.
Direct response
At only a few pence a text, and no production costs, a text message can be far more cost effective than other direct marketing media. Figures published by the Mobile Data Association (MDA) show that response rates for mobile campaigns are four times higher than direct mail and email campaigns.
Text for a brochure
Request an email/brochure via SMS. The user texts in their email address and they are automatically sent an email. You can use this facility to deliver PDF brochures, Powerpoint presentations or any kind of media.
1-way broadcast text service including:
Vouchers
With mobile vouchers there’s no danger of customers forgetting them or losing them. The voucher is more than likely to reach your customer when he or she is out of the house and most likely to use it. It is safe on their mobile and easily accessible when they are ready to choose one business over another.
Alerts
People keep their mobile phones with them at all times. This makes text an ideal medium to use when you want to notify staff or customers quickly about an event or make any sort of announcement.
Reminders
When customers fail to keep appointments it can result in lost time and lost income for you. Many no shows are down to people simply forgetting about an appointment. With The Text Works you can send a text message from your computer directly to your customer's mobile phone. Since 94% of all text messages are read immediately upon receipt, you can be confident that they won't forget their appointment.
Live Updates
Because mobile phones are always to hand, they are ideal for providing live update services. The Text Works can deliver content from external feeds for services such as share prices, news, traffic information and weather.
Subscriptions
You can use subscriptions to send regular messages to customers via their mobile at any interval. This can be used for product updates, company news, or for taking regular payments.
Broadcasting
The Text Works list builder and broadcast tool is ideal for sending promotional messages to your customers. Each message can be unique, containing stored or uploaded customer information such as name, last product bought, and balance.
