How Text Alerts Works

1. Reserve a keyword.

When you reserve a keyword, it becomes yours. It’s unique to your business or organization and is what people can text to 28748 to join your SMS marketing list.

When someone texts your keyword to 28748, they’ll get an instant response back that you can easily customize. We call these messages “auto-replies”.

2. Grow your list.

In addition to receiving your customized auto-reply, when someone texts your keyword to 28748, they’ll also be added to your SMS marketing list.

Now you should promote your list to let people know how they can join. You can create flyers, post info on your website, Facebook, and ask your customers and clients face to face. Maybe even offer them an incentive in your auto-reply for joining your list!

The larger your list gets, the more powerful and effective it will become!

Text message marketing works for many reasons…

One of those reasons is that almost everyone has a cell phone and keeps it within an arm’s reach at any point throughout the day! 97% of all texts are also read within the first 5 minutes. If you stop and think about it, that’s incredibly powerful all by itself.

SMS marketing is also permission-based. You’re only communicating to a highly targeted group of people who really care about your business and what it has to say!

It’s also the fastest way to put coupons and special offers into the hands of your customers. With how cost-effective it is, it’s pretty much a no brainer!
