Virtual Number for SMS Distribution is Never Out of Fashion Option
The very principle of a virtual PBX operation is different from most telephone exchanges. Any other PBX has a case containing various electronic equipment and a particular computer. It must be connected by cable or via the Internet to a physical device—a telephone exchange. The virtual PBX has no physical shell, its location is not determined, and the subscriber has only an IP address or a domain name. At first glance, this type of communication may not seem reliable, but it is not so!
Depending on the complexity and technical task, the service connection takes one working day, from 5 minutes to 24 hours. The Freezvon Company is a reliable provider and will do everything in the best manner. This connection speed allows the company not to waste time installing and configuring telephony when moving but to provide the entire office with a telephone connection almost immediately. Moreover, such a solution offers a virtual number for calling and a virtual phone number with SMS.
SMS is an easy way to reach your customers and get a high return on investment. You can send urgent offers, promotions, greetings, and much more. Developing client relationships is a separate world with its rules and laws. It is tough today to fight for the client’s attention: here, you need new algorithms of social networks and high prices for contextual and outdoor advertising. In addition, there is high competition within the niche for a place under the sun. Companies have to find ways to make it profitable and efficient simultaneously.
What is SMS, and why is it effective?
SMS is a marketing tool for sending short promotional or transactional messages to customers’ mobile phones. Let’s examine why SMS is still a popular and efficient solution.
The wide spread of smartphones –
More than 5 billion people use mobile phones, which is growing yearly. SMS is a great way to contact customers directly and, for example, invite them to visit your site. Unlike email, the person doesn’t need Wi-Fi to receive SMS, as mobile communication works due to operators’ GSM networks and covers even the farthest corners of the planet.
Tandem –
SMS is an effective marketing tool in itself. However, you can achieve incredible results with email, WhatsApp/Viber, and push notifications. For example, you can use SMS to send instant messages and email to write longer content.
High level of engagement
Text messages are read within 3 minutes of receiving them.
In other words, it’s a great tool for instant customer communication.
Why and who needs SMS?
SMS marketing creates a more personal relationship with customers than email marketing. Therefore, when compiling a newsletter, the text, and segmenting the base, you must think carefully about the offer. Using a virtual PBX and getting a number for calls and SMS is better. This is great for both small business owners and corporate communications managers. However, some businesses get the most profit from virtual numbers with SMS.
- Internet shops. Create advertising campaigns or send daily SMS with order/delivery confirmation.
- Travel companies. Send real-time SMS messages to customers. These messages can include a flight time update, change of landing gate, cancellation, weather warning, and more.
- Service companies with service by appointment. SMS reminders are sent so that clients never miss an appointment. This saves a lot of time and money wasted on no-shows and lateness.
- Large organizations with more than 100 employees. Email works too slowly for receiving urgent information, and social networks or messengers may not be suitable for corporate culture. SMS for internal communication guarantees fast and 100% delivery of important messages.
You can divide your contact base into segments such as gender, country, and age. Thus, creating more targeted mailings and getting the best result will be easy. It’s possible to configure the automatic addition of the client’s name from the CRM system. This increases loyalty and facilitates the readability of newsletters. Starting a mass mailing at a specific time and date is easy. For example, if your target audience is active between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, set that time for your mailing.
Small, medium, and large businesses use digital numbers for SMS by Freezvon Company because it is convenient to support current customers and attract new ones. The SMS is delivered directly to the client’s phone and cannot be in the spam folder.
