If you’re in an emergency situation or want to make an immediate impact, sending an SMS alert is one of your best and most cost-effective options. Statistics prove that SMS has an average 98% open rate. More importantly most recipients open an SMS in less than 3 minutes.
Here are the most common types of SMS alerts:
Sale Alerts
Perfect for flash sales, SMS Marketing, and time-sensitive promotions. For a targeted experience, try connecting your sale alerts with your customer’s geolocation. That way the odds of them converting are even higher - since they will receive alerts only when they’re within a convenient distance of your store.
Safety Alerts
Did you know 91% of mobile phone users have their devices within reach 24/7 a day? When a community is in a state of emergency, it makes the most sense for that to be broadcasted on a mobile device. This is why SMS safety alerts are so important. Text messages also don’t need an internet connection, which is usually the first to go in a state of emergency.
