SMS surveys for customers
Survey your customers, patients, employees, etc., via SMS after an interaction to gauge the quality of your services and products. Use SMS as a unique medium in mobile market research. A dedicated reception number allows for direct receipt of responses.

- High open rate of 98% (email 15–30%)
No other communication channel has such a high open rate as SMS. Email can therefore be successfully replaced by short message service (SMS). - Quick, direct contact
For many customers, SMS surveys are still relatively unknown. This makes them stand out from the flood of emails, attracting more attention and fostering a sense of personal connection. - High response rate of over 50%
Experience shows that more than half of the people surveyed respond to SMS messages. This provides you with many important quality metrics to improve customer satisfaction.
