SMS marketing – practical examples from our customers
SMS competitions
“Sending advertising by email is a tricky process that often results in customers cancelling newsletter subscriptions. We wanted to avoid this so we use text messages to draw our customers’ attention to our competitions and promotions.”
– Paul Neumann, Pharmacist
To optimize your approach to your target group, use eCall SMS to run competitions that support your sales campaigns. Entrants send a text message with a key word or ask them to submit a winning code to the short number 963.
Promotions via SMS, actions & product presentation
“All retailers that add new products to their shelves need to grab their customers’ attention to promote and boost sales of these new arrivals. Usually a short text is all that is required to generate such attention. Typically few read the more detailed content below the headline, anyway.”
– Joachim Eckstein, Product Manager
Use text messaging to send a teaser message containing short URLs that redirect to your website. This boosts your traffic rates and attracts the attention of more prospective customers. In addition, a website environment allows you to present your new products with more impact (e.g. by incorporating videos, interactive graphics etc.).
SMS marketing
“More and more people are refusing to accept advertising mailshots that arrive with their regular mail, so we are reaching fewer and fewer members of our target group. Expensive direct mailshots are virtually ignored, and response rates are miniscule! Woud it be possible to send out advertising to mobile phones, to boost reach and awareness?”
– Veronika Feldmann, Marketing Officer
