4 advantages of bulk SMS messaging via Salesforce

In today’s era, messaging has become a more effective and reliable source of communication for everyone. Text messaging has become new common for gen Z, who will be the primary source of revenue for businesses in the coming years.

More than 3 billion smartphone users globally are predicted to grow year on year. SMS marketing has enormous potential, which businesses can tap into to drive their sales upwards.

Many organizations opt for bulk messaging as the fastest and the most efficient way to reach their audience. Figures show that nearly everyone has a cellphone, “3 billion smartphone users”, making communicating with brands via text messaging much more accessible.

Bulk messaging is one of the most convenient ways to capture your audience’s attention. People now don’t open their emails as they are getting bombarded with irrelevant information; emails are not fulfilling their purpose of grabbing customers’ attention. They have become obsolete. People may not be on their emails, but many are inseparable from their mobile phones. So why shouldn’t you invest your time and money in SMS messaging? Here are the top benefits of bulk SMS messaging via Salesforce, which will help you decide.

 

1.)    High conversion rates: –

Studies show that more than 95% of text messages are read within 5 minutes. The open rate for SMS is much higher than that of email, 95% to 20%. Everyone who reads your text will not respond, but the chances of a customer responding to your marketing are higher if they have seen your messages than if they haven’t.

  •   SMS marketing campaigns perform seven times better than email marketing campaigns.

3.)    Minimal cost and effort: –

You need to deliver relevant information most concisely and effectively for SMS marketing to work.

The rest is done by Communicat-O’s AI-powered intelligent bots, i.e., inserting names of different customers, customizing it according to which audience segments they fall on, etc. The cost associated with this strategy is almost negligible compared to the old traditional marketing approach such as TV, radio, print etc.
