Energy drink company Red Bull is using Text Marketer’s bulk sms service to keep field-based staff in touch.
Sms is becoming an increasingly popular way of communicating with employees who are always on the move. With the current trend for home and field based working, staff can feel somewhat isolated and out of touch and regular sms bulletins are a very effective and instant way of making sure people are kept up to date.

Red Bull are using sms to keep sales team members informed about the latest developments, so they are never out of the loop.

Bulk SMS Service – It’s not just about marketing

When many people think about a bulk sms service, they think about sending out a sales message to the whole database and using it as a direct marketing tool to drive sales. Bulk sms is indeed a very low cost and effective way of comunicating an offer to your existing customers and prospects.

But there are many other ways that text can be used within your organisation. Essentially the mobile phone is just another communication ‘channel’ that you can use in a similar way in which you might use e-mail, the postal service or a fax.

As mobile handsets become increasingly powerful, they are becoming more central to people’s working life and so it makes sense to incorporate their use into your internal communications.

Setting up an account is free and your account comes with 10 free text credits, so you can try the service at no cost.
