How to make the most out of a bulk SMS

A short but clear message

A long SMS is a turn off to most people. A message with more than 160 characters may also be an issue to people using mulika mwizi and other old phone versions. Make your message to be short and straight to the point.

Memorable

Short should never be an excuse to be boring. Be sure to use words and phrases that are sure to capture your target audience’s attention. If your business serves young people, you will never go wrong using the trendy hashtags and slang words that your audience is conversant with.

Personalize

How do you personalize a message that is supposed to reach thousands of people? Bulk SMS service providers allow you to personalize your bulk SMS messages based on your database’s information. This means you can share a similar message, but have a ‘Dear Steve’ or ‘Dear Carol’ instead of ‘dear customer.’ Shara solutions will help you come up with the best way of personalizing your messages.

Have your business name displayed

The last thing you want to do is send a short but sweet message to your customers anonymously. That cannot benefit your business. We will direct you to service providers such as Safaricom, who allow you to edit your username. Having the business name displayed helps maintain a professional image to your customers.

Use links

Since the bulk SMS texts are often short, you might not be able to say all you want to with 160 characters. Thus, it is important to use branded links that will take your customers back to your site for more information. A branded link is shorter than the normal URL, and it contains the brand’s name or other information that is associated with your brand. How does this help? Not only does it lead people to your site, but it also helps to track your users. It can even help with SEO optimization! Shara solutions experts will show you how to create useful branded links that you can use in your bulk SMS.
