SMS marketing – some 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 reach your target group in the best possible way, you can use eCall SMS to run competitions and thus support advertising campaigns. Participants send an SMS with a keyword or winning code to the short number 963.
Promotions via SMS, special offers & product presentation
“Anyone who adds new products to their range wants to draw attention to them. Most of the time, a short text is all that is required to attract attention. After all, no one reads the details in the end anyway.”
– Joachim Eckstein, Product Manager
Use SMS to send a teaser message containing ‘short links’ to your website. This will increase the number of visitors and attract the attention of more prospects. In addition, you can present your new products on a website more effectively (video, interactive graphics, etc.).
SMS marketing
“As increasing number of people are refusing to accept promotional mai, we are reaching fewer and fewer people in our target group. The expensive direct mailings are hardly noticed anymore – just like the email newsletters. The response rates are ridiculously low! Woud it be possible to send out advertising to mobile phones, to boost reach and awareness?”
– Veronika Feldmann, Marketing Officer
