Bulk SMS for Marketing and Communication
Spread the Message
The ability to contact large numbers of people quickly and easily has resulted in the precedence of Bulk SMS as a marketing and communications tool. Staff and customers can be targeted in groups with messages tailored to each specific group.
Tier 1 delivery routes ensure a high rate of successful SMS transmission (dependant on Network performance) with your marketing messages reaching recipients quickly and efficiently.
Low Cost
With X-on's low unit cost on volume, Bulk SMS is the most cost effective method of communicating en masse with staff and customers.
Widespread Contact
Mobile coverage is comprehensive within the UK and Europe, making the mobile phone the ideal method of communication. With users usually carrying their mobile with them everywhere, your target audience remain in contact most of the time.
Messages can be initiated by email, web interface and from a mobile, providing business with complete flexibility when communicating with staff and customers.
Combine SMS and Voice
In addition to delivery by SMS, messages can be sent as voice calls. X-on's sophisticated speech synthesis ensures recipients hear a highly intelligible message when called by the system.
The ability to contact mobiles and landlines by SMS and voice ensures a wide range of recipients, including those with restricted vision and the elderly.
Marketing and Company Information
Databases of opt-in contacts are an ideal audience for marketing campaigns. Customers who have opted in to receive updates and offers are willing to receive marketing SMS and the nature of the mobile phone ensures the message will be read.
Company information is easily disseminated to staff ensuring they are informed of developments and policy changes. It's also possible for staff to respond to the message where required as X-on supplies true 2-way SMS.
