Bulk SMS - A Great Tool for Growing Business

Today, I want to introduce to you a tool that you greatly need, if you want to grow business.

It is the BULK TEXT MESSAGING or BULK SMS marketing

Bulk messaging is a means of sending text messages (SMS from the web to people’s cell phones) to more than two persons at the touch of a button. The number of persons that can receive these messages can be up to 10000. Using this tool can save you tons of money. Research shows that people are more likely to see, read and act on messages through their phones than in newspapers, flyers, radio etc. Most of all people get the message and read it, on the go.

Benefits of using SMS for marketing purposes;

For Business Purposes; Retain and get new customers; This is easy. After executing transactions between you and the customer, you can send short messages, informing them about the completion of the transaction. Where the goods / services is set for delivery or had been delivered. You can simply send messages to the clients , safely and intact.

Additionally, where goods / services could not be delivered as scheduled, probably due to bad weather or circumstances beyond your control, a message sent to the customer stating the challenges you have will increase and retain confidence of the customer concerning your services. This shows that you have the interest of the customer at heart. This act retains customers and most of all, those patronizing you for the first time, will always want to come back. Remember the customer is king.

The reason why I open a Guarantee Trust Bank account in 2006, was because of their SMS transaction alerts. That services was not a common practices then.
