What is Bulk SMS?
This is the ability to create one text message
and send it to many mobile phones at the same
time. 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.
What are the benefits of Bulk SMS/Bulk Text
Messging?
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 largest benefit is time. Typing a message
takes seconds and it can be delivered to any
number of mobile handsets instantly for around a
1/10 of the cost of direct mail.
The second benefit is the portability of mobile
phones. Do you carry your mobile phone with you
at all times. Do you read your text messages
instantly? 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.
More than just Bulk SMS.

About Textvertising.
All our
services are hosted in our own secure data centre near
Preston in the UK. All software is is developed in house
and we offer support at the highest
level - not just online, but by telephone 24 hours a day.
We only route through the highest quality routes
within the UK via Vodafone and O2 for super
fast, ultra reliable delivery.
Many cheaper, economy routes are available
throughout Europe and India but they are
unreliable, slow and do not offer delivery
reports. We do not offer these types of routes
and never intend to. We understand the
importance not just time critical but reliable
messaging. Our prices are for the highest
quality SMS routes available in the UK.
You can buy text messages
online using a credit or debit card. We also
offer other ways to pay such as by cheque, BACS
or CHAPS if by prior arrangement. Once
purchased, they remain in your account and never
expire. Our SMS prices are at the bottom of the
page.
