You can send text messages to hundreds or thousands of people all at once
Your customers are automatically added to the list of subscribers after they text in the keyword to a short-code.
You can upload the list of contacts that you’ve built into your account and use it to run the text message campaign.
The process is very simple. Firstly, you must sign up with a provider like ExpressText. Once you’ve registered, create a unique keyword that resonates well with your business. This keyword is a word or a short phrase that customers text into a shortcode for joining a text list. Not to forget, texting is permission-based i.e. your customers must agree to receive text messages from you by opting into the campaign.
Next comes the establishment of a list of subscribers that you can use for reaching out to your customers. You can either build one from scratch or grow the existing one constantly. You can seek people’s permission verbally or ask them to fill web-forms for opting in. Moreover, you must advertise your keyword on social media, email and website so that more people can text it in to join.
Once your account and list are prepared, you are very close to start sending a text. All you need to do is log into your account, type a promotional text message, choose a list of contacts, and just send it out!
