Text messaging service - your way to success

The SMS marketing pricing differs between countries, however, they are nearly always extremely low. You can expect to pay as little as $0.015 per text message in the US, bringing into focus the low cost of text advertisements for businesses who choose advertising by SMS.

Additionally, SMS platforms usually have text marketing plans that include free messages. As such, the pricing of SMS marketing services might be even lower than the costs outlined above, making it accessible to small businesses to enterprises.

Companies can build an SMS list by using sign-up forms and pop-ups that can be added to websites. They are lead generation forms created specifically for acquiring new subscribers and allowing customers to give their consent through an opt-in.

SMS marketing platform providers add features that allow customers to create free signup and pop-up forms. These can generally be added to nearly any website in a few simple clicks.

Many different numbers can be used for business text messaging, which is completely up to the company's discretion. They can use toll-free numbers, dedicated numbers, and even use the business name as a “number”.

While most SMS service providers cap text messages to 160 chars or less, our text message marketing platform allows up to 306 characters.

Moreover, to ensure that your links don’t exceed most of this limit, we automatically shorten them for you.

MMS stands for ‘Multimedia Messaging Service’ while SMS is an abbreviation for ‘Short Message Service’.

While SMS can only carry up to 160 chars (in the case of Sender, up to 306 chars) of text and links, an MMS is more media-rich, allowing pictures, GIFs, and even video.

If the SMS vs MMS debate is raging in your mind, go with plain text SMS messages, which are easier on the eyes apart from coming across as more trusted by subscribers.

SMS notifications are a way to inform, educate or alert your subscriber about something relevant and/or important.

For instance, as soon as you set your sales flash campaign LIVE and announce the same over email, it would be great to intimate your opted-in SMS subscribers about it, so they don’t miss the sale.

You can use SMS notifications to alert your monthly SaaS users about the need to renew their subscriptions.

The possibilities are truly limitless when using the right text messaging system.

While there are SMS platforms that offer a free trial to send SMS, they aren't always the best option due to limitations like low message delivery rates and lack of features. The best thing you can do is to find the right mass texting service with good options. For example, Sender provides you with free SMS credits when you choose their Professional and Enterprise plans, giving you a chance to test the service before fully committing. This allows you to evaluate the platform's capabilities and ensure it meets your needs.
