What is Bulk SMS?
This is the ability to create one text
message and send it to many mobile
phones simultaneously. It is
sometimes referred to as
bulk text
messaging. Textvertising
offer both
Bulk SMS
and
Bulk MMS within
your account allowing you to send not
just SMS but interactive video and
picture messages too. |
With Textvertising you can send text messages
from your PC!
You
can send one or more text messages online
directly from your PC. Our easy to use interface
allows you to select numbers from your online
phonebook or upload new numbers and then enter a
message to send. It's that simple.
What are the benefits of Bulk SMS/Bulk Text
Messaging?
Many businesses still use Direct Mail as their
main form of marketing to their clients. The
costs involved in design, packaging and stamps
make it an expensive way to advertise. In fact
typically only 11.6% of people respond to direct
mail.
SMS marketing is still quite new and the
benefits are immediately apparent.
The first and largest benefit is time to deploy.
Typing a message takes just seconds and delivery
to multiple handsets is instant. Cost is always
important in any SMS marketing campaign and in
fact it typically costs a tenth of traditional
direct mail.
The second benefit is the portability of mobile
phones. It is expected that mobile phones are
with your clients at all times. After all, where
is your mobile phone right now? Do you read your
text messages instantly? Forgive the pun, but
one thing we can be sure of is that you don't
carry your letterbox around with you!
The fact that the messages are instant means you
can react to market conditions at a moments
notice. You may have an empty Bar at 9pm, a last
minute special offer or perhaps need to move
some old stock this afternoon.
With Bulk SMS you can let your clients know
immediately and in real time.
Upload your own database of clients and numbers.
We provide an easy to use feature to upload
numbers into your account.
 |
Simply upload a text/CSV file or Excel
spreadsheet containing your numbers.
Extract numbers from multiple columns or
even import names and information
easily.
Send a message 'on the fly' to a
database of numbers in just a few
clicks. |
Our upload feature has many useful automated
features...
-

Validation of each number.
-
Removes numbers that already exist in your
database.

material.
If you do not already have a database of mobile
numbers to upload straight away we offer a way
for your clients to subscribe themselves.
 |
What makes us unique is that we provide
every account with a free virtual mobile
number. (You can upgrade easily to a
5 digit shortcode
number).
With either your clients can simply send
a text and then join your database
automatically.
You simply choose a "keyword" when
registering and when your clients text
the keyword, they register. It's that
simple! |
There is no restriction on registrations and
each number is automatically captured when they
text your keyword. If required you can create
client groups and your clients can subscribe
into the correct category of your database
automatically by texting your keyword and the
group name.
Sending Bulk SMS from your mobile.
To make the service truly mobile, we offer
"Remote Mobile Messaging".
