Companies across industries use text message marketing to keep current and prospective customers engaged. But text marketing is more advanced than sending individual messages to prospects. Thanks to SMS broadcast technology, you can reach out to everyone on your contact list at once or send direct response marketing <\/a>messages to different groups of consumers. But what is a broadcast message, and how can you use SMS messaging to boost customer engagement? Understanding the basics of this technology is the key to developing an effective, impactful text marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

What Is a Broadcast Message?<\/h2>\n

A broadcast text message, or SMS broadcast, is a message that one party can send individually to a large list of recipients. If you are using this technology for your business, once someone agrees to receive messages from your company, their contact information is added to a list for SMS broadcast messages. You can then send out mass text communications to each person on the list. This is an efficient way to get your message out to many people simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Broadcast vs. Group Texts: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/h3>\n

Broadcast messaging sends separate copies of the same message to each recipient on your contact list. Everyone in a group can respond to group messaging through a shared thread. SMS broadcasting works similarly to blind copy emails \u2014 even though many people receive the same message, they each receive an individual text thread. That way, your company can send out updates and marketing messages to all of your customers without revealing their contact information or other details to one another. And without starting never-ending group chat threads across your customer base.<\/p>\n

SMS for Lead Generation<\/h2>\n

Texting allows your company to quickly engage your potential customers and qualify their interest in your products and services. Because you need consent to send out SMS marketing messages, SMS lead generation usually involves having the customer reach out first.<\/p>\n

You could set up an automated system to opt customers into SMS texts after they send a certain word or phrase to your phone line. Alternatively, you could include an opt-in as part of your new customer registration process right from the start. You may also send out lead generation<\/a> messages to former customers who have opted in for your communications previously.<\/p>\n

Once you have a customer\u2019s approval to send texts, you can then qualify their interest by prompting them to check out sales, use discount codes, visit your website, or respond to other call-to-action messages. This can help you develop a powerful list of interested customers whom you can target with promotions and personalized offers.<\/p>\n

Other Applications for SMS Text Broadcasts<\/h2>\n

Along with generating SMS leads, there are many ways that your business can use text to connect with your customers. Here are just a few ways that you can start using this technology as part of your customer engagement plans:<\/p>\n
