Why SMS Choosing an SMS provider SMS: Spam or Brilliant? SMS MARKETING SMS Marketing is the fastest, cheapest, easiest and most effective way of communicating directly with your customers to increase purchase frequency, top of mind dominance, loyalty and referrals. A 2013 survey by Millward Brown Digital found: "... that consumers worldwide welcome engagement with companies via mobile messaging. Consumers actually favour communication provided by SMS — both to receive information from brands, or to inquire to brands themselves. Moreover, the majority prefers SMS over other marketing channels, including video advertising, banners and email." Many Australian businesses spend most of their marketing budget on attracting new customers and very little on marketing to their existing customers. Studies tell us this is the wrong way around. According to the Harvard Business Review: 'Customer loyalty is the single most important driver of growth and profitability' and yet according to the US Chamber of Commerce: '68% of customers leave [businesses] because of perceived indifference to them' 9 Reasons why SMS Marketing works * Insanely affordable * High ROI * Instant * Unbeatable open rates * Permission is the key * Its to the point * Everyone has a mobile phone * Incredibly EASY * Laser targeted ROI CALCULATOR Use our ROI Calculator to see how you can Increase your Revenues by Building and Marketing to a List. Response rates from SMS marketing can be as high as 30% or more depending on the offer you are promoting. A conservative figure is around 8% while a response of 12 -15% is considered average Number of people on your list Number of SMS promotions/year % of people responding to promotion Ave $ value per sale Additional REVENUE per YEAR SELECTING A PROVIDER: CHECK LIST Some questions to ask potential SMS providers. 1. How are Opt-outs handled Why is this important This is critical and if mishandled can lead to legal issues and large fines. Apart from the legal requirements it is fundamental to respect your customer's wishes. What to watch out for All replies being sent straight back to your email or mobile. This means you must manually check each number and take it off your database. Some providers will offer a 'Blacklist' service but only with their premium account level. SMS Solutions Australia answers All STOP replies are handled automatically. The number is flagged as ‘unsubscribed’ and blocked from receiving any more SMS’s. The number remains in your database, along with all history and is clearly seen as 'unsubscribed. An automatic confirmation SMS sent back to acknowledge the request. 2. What does '2-way' really mean Why is this important Every provider claims to have a '2-way' service. Managing replies accurately is very important to ensure you are a) responding to your customers and b) ensuring legal compliance. What to watch out for Often this means that all replies individually come to your email address. This is cheaper than setting up a real reply number for your account, but do you really want to check 50 or 250 emails after your SMS campaign? To handle replies properly will often incur an addition cost above the cheap 'headline' price. SMS Solutions Australia answers All replies comes straight back to your SMS account. You can search replies by number, date or campaign and you can view all messages per each individual customer. Replies can be forwarded to your email or mobile and if they are you can choose to receive only the non-OptOut replies. 3. Does your account include a reply mobile number Why is this important This shows if the account really does have '2-way' capability or if all inbound messages will simply be forwarded to you. What to watch out for Your own account phone number will always be available as an option but at what cost? Some providers charge a fee per inbound reply message at up to 50% of the cost of sending out messages. Others will charge an extra amount for the number and tie that service to their higher level plans. SMS Solutions Australia answers All SMS Solutions accounts have a reply number included in the published plan costs. There is no option to not have a reply number because we believe handling replies properly is critical, therefore, there is no hidden costs for replies. 4. Are there 2 levels of service Why is this important Two different levels of service, and pricing, is a certain indication that overseas delivery routes are used to avoid paying the standard fees to Australian telcos. What to watch out for Providers that offer different levels of service and pricing. This will often be described as 'Hybrid' or 'Non-mission-critical'. The headline SMS price will always reflect the lower service delivered through third world countries to avoid Australian costs. Some providers will charge an extra fee for 'Australian Timestamps' - add another 25% to the 'headline' price - just another indication that the cheaper alternative is going through other countries. If you are not concerned that 20-30% of your messages are not delivered then these services might suit you. SMS Solutions Australia answers SMS Solutions has never used 'alternative' delivery routes for three reasons: 1/ We simply don't understand the concept that you might be OK if some messages are not delivered - surely every message is 'critical'; 2/ working directly with the Australian telcos means we have maximum reliability and visibility; and 3/ we think that paying the fair price to the Australian telcos is just the right thing to do and a better long-term business option. 5. What is the send speed Why is this important An important strength of SMS marketing is its immediacy and knowing when your message will be seen. What to watch out for Campaigns to only a few thousand people taking more than an hour to be processed. Even if you have a small customer database low send speeds can mean that your campaign gets 'stuck' behind a larger one. SMS Solutions Australia answers The SMS Solutions platform is currently configured to operate at an outbound speed of approximately 5,000 messages per minute. If you want you campaign delivered at 6.30pm then 7.30 is not good enough. 6. Is there Live Chat support from the website Why is this important SMS campaigns are regularly set-up only a few hours or minutes before they need to be sent out. If you need some technical advise you need it now! What to watch out for No Live Chat, no number to call, no real street address, just an on-line form to complete to request help which hopefully will be answered the next day. SMS Solutions Australia answers Every user has access to unlimited, ongoing support via our on-line Live Chat facility or via phone. 7. How much additional information can you include beyond the mobile number and first name. Why is this important Personalised messages have a significantly higher response rate. The more targetted your campaign the more effective it will be. What to watch out for Many SMS systems have limited capabilities to add additional information about your customers and to merge some of that information with the message. SMS Solutions Australia answers Your SMS Solutions account can include the capability to set-up as many 'fields' as you need and to easily merge all the information into your messages. This allows active datamining to segment your customers in different ways for different campaigns.You can also set-up multiple groups with one contact in more than one group. 8. Number Format Why is this important Most databases we see have a variety of ways that mobile numbers have been entered by different people over the months & years. What to watch out for Systems that insist on numbers added in the international format only - starting with +61 SMS Solutions Australia answers The SMS Solutions system will pick up valid mobile numbers in any format, e.g. +61444111888, 0444 111 888 04 444111888. It will also ignore other numbers such as 'land line' numbers that are mixed in the database - no need for you to do any cleaning or sorting. The system will also check for duplicates and take them out. 9. Can you easily export all your data Why is this important Things change. It is your data and your should be able to access it and move it whenever you want to. What to watch out for Systems that do not have 'export' buttons. SMS Solutions Australia answers You can easily export lists, replies, history, keyword responses directly from your account. 10. Do they understand SMS marketing Why is this important SMS is a great marketing tool, but if you were considering TV advertising would you be talking with a TV manufacturer? What to watch out for Complete focus on the technology with little or no engagement about the marketing. SMS Solutions Australia answers At SMS Solutions we believe we have great technology and have built a great marketing tool. We also have a depth of SMS and retention marketing knowledge which allows us to find the correct solution for you and to suggest ways the SMS can complement your marketing plans.
