Streamlining the sales process via SMS Marketing

Cristi Stefanescu presented the results of a study conducted in 2019 in Romania. It is about finding 19 million mobile connections, mobile devices that connect to the Internet and only 5 million fixed desktop connections. The same study shows that in the matter of the Romanian e-commerce market, the traffic recorded on mobile devices exceeded the traffic recorded on desktop devices. Consequently, businesses are forced to leave the traditional marketing area and move into the mobile environment.

Cristian Ștefănescu presents the interface of the SMSO platform, which is available both web and integrated through an API connection. The application menu provides vital functionalities required for conducting SMS marketing campaigns.

Since SMS has an opening rate of 95 -97% and is read within the first 3 minutes of delivery, it is the ideal tool to connect with customers or even employees. Therefore, through loyalty programs created with the help of the SMSO platform, business owners can not only make sure they get new customers, but also keep current customers.

What are the steps in sending a campaign via SMS?

  1.     Upload a document (or manually type one) containing customer contact details (name, phone number and city, where applicable).
  2.     Actual campaign creation:
  • choose a name of the campaign
  • select the pre-prepared contact list
  • choose the route to send the message (short routes or brand sent messages)
  • compose the message — for personalization purposes use the fields set out in the document containing customer data, with a single drag & drop action
  • schedule the campaign to be sent at the time and date of choice
  • send the campaign

The SMSO platform also provides detailed reports containing information on the campaign performance. Also, a great deal of attention is paid to the GDPR rules.  The SMSO packages also provide GDPR advice to ensure efficient and legal communication between companies and their target audience categories.
