In the era of digital marketing, SMS marketing remains one of the effective means for enterprises to reach customers. However, a large number of marketing SMS messages are regarded as spam by users. This not only fails to achieve the expected results but may also damage the corporate image. So, how can we prevent marketing SMS messages from falling into such a predicament? The IntBell Cloud Communication Platform provides effective solutions for enterprises.

Optimize SMS Content

  • Be Concise and Clear

    Marketing SMS messages should not be too long. The core information needs to be clearly conveyed within a limited number of words. Complex sentence structures and rare words should be avoided to ensure that users can quickly understand the intention of the SMS message. For example, when an e-commerce enterprise sends a promotional SMS message, it can directly state: “[Brand Name] is celebrating its anniversary. All product categories are on sale starting from 50% off today. Come and shop now! [Link]”. Such a concise and direct expression can quickly attract the attention of users.

  • Provide Value

    Users are more inclined to receive information that is valuable to them. Enterprises can customize personalized content according to users’ needs and behaviors. For instance, a fitness club can send exclusive offers to members who haven’t visited the store for a long time: “Dear member, to thank you for your support, we are now giving you 3 private coaching sessions to help you quickly get back in the best shape. Click [Link] to make an appointment.” Such targeted offers can make users feel the care of the enterprise and reduce their resistance to the SMS message.

Precisely Target the Audience

  • Segment Customer Groups

    Enterprises should divide customers into different groups according to factors such as users’ age, gender, and consumption habits. Send marketing SMS messages that match the characteristics of different groups. For example, a beauty brand can promote new makeup products to the young female group and recommend anti-aging skincare series to the mature female group. Precise delivery can improve the relevance and acceptance of SMS messages.

  • Based on User Behavior

    By analyzing users’ browsing, purchasing and other behaviors on the enterprise website and APP, send relevant marketing SMS messages. If a user has browsed a certain product but not purchased it, the enterprise can send a reminder SMS message: “The stock of [Product Name] you are interested in is running low. Enjoy a 20% discount if you buy it now. Don’t miss it! [Link]”. SMS messages based on user behavior can better touch users and reduce the possibility of being regarded as spam.

Send Messages in Compliance

  • Comply with Laws and Regulations

    Strictly abide by relevant SMS sending regulations, such as obtaining users’ consent in advance and providing an unsubscribe method. The IntBell Cloud Communication Platform can assist enterprises in ensuring that SMS sending complies with regulatory requirements, avoiding user dissatisfaction and legal risks caused by non-compliant operations. The platform provides a complete user consent management and unsubscribe function to protect users’ rights and interests and enhance the compliance of enterprises.

  • Reasonably Control the Sending Frequency

    Avoid sending marketing SMS messages to users too frequently to prevent causing user annoyance. A reasonable sending plan should be formulated according to the user group and business characteristics. The IntBell Cloud Communication Platform supports flexible setting of sending times. Enterprises can conduct precise delivery according to users’ active time and avoid disturbing users during their rest time to improve the user experience.
