How does it work?

1. Shorten your link

Typical SMS messages are limited to only 160 characters and most URLs are rather long (typically between 40 to 100 characters), meaning they consume necessary characters in your message. The best way to save this space is to use an URL shortening tool, which helps make long hyperlinks shorter. Moreover, the tool provides you with additional feedback on how many clicks were made and where they came from. By using such a service you tackle both the SMS length issue as well as getting some insightful data to measure the effectiveness of your messaging through an SMS link service.

2. Create a text offer and add your shortened link

This is the step when you need to create the message itself and add your shortened link. Whatever you want to achieve with your messaging, you need to get creative and think of a text message copy such as announcements, invitations, discount promotions, breaking news, changes in schedule, important info, payment reminders, auto-generated info or some kind of offer.

3. Send text messages

Simply select the group of recipients your message is intended for, create a text message offer that matches the purpose of the message, and click whether it should be sent immediately or schedule it for a later time. We will do the rest.

Common SMS link service FAQs

SMS link is a shortened version of a hyperlink that is integrated within an SMS text message body after being shortened by an URL shortener. URL shortener is a simple tool that takes a long URL and turns it into a shorter URL. Link shortening is extremely important in SMS marketing, because space is important, as you’re limited to 160-characters in an SMS message.

SMS link service is a specialized platform that is interactively communicating with telecommunication network operators to give you the ability to integrate your shortened URL in a text message and send a high volume of texts in a single click. So, instead of depending on your personal mobile phone to send texts, SMS link service messaging acts like a very handy digital tool you can use to create targeted threads or conversations to engage your customers, prospects or members, regulate the maximum number of recipients for a particular campaign, reply to a certain question, set the send date in advance, or even set the sender’s number used to send out your texts.
There are different ways to shorten a hyperlink and many different providers who enable URL shortening exist on the market. Although there isn't a unified approach to this, there are tendencies that should be taken into consideration when using link shorteners.

Although using non-branded shortened links might still work, we strongly recommend using branded links.
