The Power of Text Messaging
Create Conversations
Nothing is more frustrating than sending off a text message and not getting a reply. Did it work? Did I do something wrong? That’s why every interaction with Mobile Commons is a complete conversation. When a user texts in for the first time, they automatically get your welcome message back within seconds. You can then ask for more information and setup more automated responses. Conversations can be as long as you want.
Text Message Inbox
Every text message that your campaign receives will show up in your Text Message Inbox. You can see how people are responding, change a campaign in real time, send new messages and automatically categorize mobile subscribers by their response(s). You can even broadcast your inbox as an RSS feed to keep up with all your incoming text messages using your favorite reader.
Broadcast or 1-to-1 Messaging
Mobile Commons makes it easy to text a million people, one person, or anything in between. You can message your entire mobile list, create groups to send text messages to specific people or answer individual SMS messages one at a time. Just as in traditional marketing, mobile marketing should be tailored to your organization’s overall marketing goals.
Message Pacing and Throttled Messaging
Because of the extremely high response rates we often see with text messaging, sometimes the results are too fast. Trying to send users to a ticket office or to a retail location to redeem a coupon? You may not want 10,000 people all showing up or calling at once! Our advanced scheduling tools allow you to pace or throttle your text messaging campaign and automatically spread it out over hours, days or weeks. This tool works just like online ad servers, so you can coordinate your text messaging with your online or offline marketing schedules and increase your overall program’s effectiveness
