The keys to a successful SMS campaign

SMS campaigns can be carried out in just a few clicks, whatever the number of customers, and are a fast and effective way of communicating with customers and prospects. Discover the 4 steps required to carry out your SMS marketing operation via an SMS tool or platform.

Contact database definition

Segmentation is important in all marketing activities, and this is also true for your message dispatches. The first step in your SMS campaign is to gather the contact data you need to carry out your first mobile communication on an active basis, particularly in the case of bulk or group SMS. This customer data can come from your own internal tools, CRM and software, or from a database rental (a questionable method of renting a file of contact details and telephone numbers of "opt-in" recipients).

Writing the message

You have 160 characters to compose a message and present the most attractive and effective offer possible (150 if we deduct the obligatory STOP SMS for marketing purposes). But the fact that you have to write a short, concise and effective message is also the strength of SMS, which has a 60% information memorization rate! Want to say more? Insert a link to a landing page - the SMS click-through rate is unbeatable.

Choice of delivery method

You have 3 options: send your SMS campaign from the smsmode© self-service cloud platform (which works in much the same way as an email campaign tool), use a plugin to add SMS functionality to your CRM, or integrate the API to run SMS campaigns automatically from your external application.
Whichever professional SMS solution you choose, a host of services are available to help you manage your SMS campaigns: contact and group management (file transfer, automatic sorting of valid numbers, reception statistics, management of responses to SMS messages sent, sending history, etc.), and more.

The right timing for mailing

This parameter can make a big difference: find the best time to send your SMS campaign. The time of day often depends on your professional activity and the time of day your prospects are in (before lunch for catering, before the weekend for retail...). Once you've decided on your strategy, test your campaign on your cell phone, for example, then start distributing your SMS messages, either directly in bulk or segmented. Once you've sent your SMS, you can access all the statistical data in your customer area to analyze the performance of your first SMS campaign and monitor your KPIs.
