SMS

Overview

SMS or Short Message Service is one of the most prevalent channels used to communicate using mobile devices. It allows brands to send text messages to users. More the number of mobile devices and telecommunication providers, the more the number of global users using SMS to communicate with organizations.

SMS is a unique channel that allows marketers to reach customers on their personal phone numbers without data consumption. SMS can be used for sending both transactional and promotional messages. Authentication messages, order confirmations, messages that provide shipping-related information, and so on are transactional and messages that convey information about offers, new product launches, and flash sales are promotional messages.
