Having established your short list of  bulk sms companies, you’ll then probably look at details such as the system itself, pricing, support and so on. There are 2 things that you should watch out for though, that might not be immediately apparant when you’re making your decision about which bulk sms service to use.

Expiring Credits

About 30% of bulk sms suppliers operate a curious policy of expiring sms credits. If you don”t use your bulk sms credits in a given period (usually 12 months), then your unused credits just disappear. We’ve always felt this a particularly harsh approach. After all you’ve purchased your bulk sms credits, it would seem reasonable to have as long as you want to use them. Take a look at our bulk sms price comparison table, which also includes information about whether each company has an expiring credits policy.

Unclear Pricing

You’d expect that when you’re looking at cost per bulk sms credit, that would mean the cost to send one text. Correct? Not necessarily. There are 2 companies that operate a credits systems where it costs more than one bulk sms text credit to send a message to a UK mobile. So a headline price of say 4.2 pence + VAT per credit may actually cost 6.75 pence + VAT to deliver the text. (1.5 credits needed to send a message to a UK mobile.)

The argument here is that when you have international bulk sms services, there are different prices for different counties so you need a system that can handle this. We’re not sure that this is the best way though and we know this causes confusion for buyers, It’s much clearer to have a simple 1 text credit is 1 text sent system.

If you haven’t already done so, you can set a free bulk sms account with Text Markerter here. You can assume that your credits  will never expire and the pricing is on a simple, 1 sms credit is 1 sms sent basis.

Companies seem to package things in different ways, have different sms pricing structures and appear to do as much as possible to confuse the hell out of you. There also appears to be a very wide range of prices for what appears to be the same product. Why on earth does it have to be so complicated? Well for companies who are looking for a simple outbound sms solution that allows them to communicate with their customers or staff by text, it really needn’t be too tough.

There are however a few simple guidelines to buying sms marketing services that we think you need to be aware of. (If at this point you’re wondering, ‘o I see what they’re doing here, they’re gong to explain it all in simple terms and then surprise surprise, their solution is going to be the best one’, well you’re absolutely correct! But hold fire with the cynicism, we genuinely believe that this information will be useful, even if you unwisely decide not to choose Text Marketer as your sms provider.)

Guideline number 1.
Beware the sms credit.

We’ve come across a number of text marketing companies that quote their services on a per credit basis. Sounds reasonable, 1 credit means 1 text right? Wrong, unless you happen to be sending your messages to Dubai that is. Be warned that to send sms messages to the UK networks may require using 1.7 or 1.8 credits. So what on face of it might appear to be an amazing deal, actually turns out to cost nearly double what you had expected.

Guideline number 2.
Don’t buy before you tried!

When you choose a text messaging company you’re making a reasonable commitment, so it’s worth getting it right. You should be allowed to test the service, have a play, make sure you’re happy with everything before you start spending your cash. Does the system do what you want and expect it to? How was your support request handled? Did the support team seem experienced?

Guideline number 3.
Don’t reinvent the wheel.

The chances are that your use for sms marketing will have been done before either for a company in your sector or possibly a competitor. So choose a company who can advise you on the best way to run and structure you campaign. Why make mistakes that have been made before. We’ve all had the ‘rookie error’ experience and they can be costly. (You can always ignore the advice if you don’t rate it!)

Guideline Number 4.
Price is important… but make sure you’re comparing eggs with eggs

We all buy on price, it’s our basic instinct. What makes things slightly more confusing in our industry is that there are a huge number of possible services, and a huge range in the quality of these services. I’m not just talking here about the ‘value added’, nice to have stuff either, I’m referring to the basic reliability of being able to send a text and it actually arriving on the phone with no delay.

If you’re buying other telecoms services such as phone lines, the product is pretty much always the same; not so with sms services. There are hundreds of ‘gateways’ that sms providers can use to access the UK mobile networks. Some of these are woefully unreliable and do not support even the most basic tools such as delivery reporting and sender ID, (who the message is from.)

It won’t be a surprise to learn that the lower quality gateway can be offered at a lower price than premium gateways. For some applications, where a client is sending hundreds of thousands of messages a month, then these gateways make perfect sense, but for many companies who might be sending a few thousand or less, this is a serious false economy. It’s also worth keeping an eye on how pricing effects your monthly spend on SMS marketing. If you are sending 1000 texts a month, a price difference of 0.6 pence per message makes a whopping £6 difference on your monthly spend.

Text Marketer has decided to go down the premium route for a reason. We dabbled for a matter of hours with a cheaper gateway but the phone started ringing almost immediately with customers wondering why messages had not arrived. We quickly reverted to our direct UK connection.

So you’ve guessed it, Text Marketer ticks all the right boxes.

• We have a simple and straightforward pricing policy.
• We aim to provide the highest possible service for the lowest possible price.
• We provide customers with a free account with free credits
• We pride ourselves on being pretty competent and able to provide relevant ideas and advice.

Give us a call on 0117 9249207 and we’ll do our best to demonstrate that we’re not talking nonsense but can actually deliver on this. We look forward to hearing from you

Text Marketer has been chosen as the bulk sms provider to help promote it. The BOA will be running a series of bulk sms campaign to its membership to help raise awareness of what the app can do.

“If you are reading this text on an iPhone or Android phone, download the BOA’s new Osteopathy App.  http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/osteopathy.”

Using a bulk sms service to promote an app is a logical step to take. Users can simply click on a link in the text and be taken directly to the relevant download site. The aim of the mobile marketing campaign is to get as many people as possible to download it and make regualar use of it.

As the level of smart phones increases rapidly, it won’t be long before most consumers will be able to download apps and using a bulk sms service will become an increasingly popular way of letting people know about it. The key here is not to fall into the trap of having an app for app’s sake! As I reported in a previous post, 99% of apps are useless and promoting them via mobile marketing won’t make them any more useful. They need to engage and actually have some real benefit to the user or they”ll just end up being downloaded and never used.

To set up a free sms service with us, simply click here and complete the short form. Your account will come with 10 free text credits so you can test it before spending anything.

Perhaps the least used application for a business sms service is as a way of communicating with members of staff, particularly those that are home based. SMS is a very effective way of getting out an urgent piece of information, with minimum fuss and in the shortest time possible.

Text Marketer customer Amey have used bulk sms as a way of enforcing its ban on the use of mobile phones while driving.

The text service reminds drivers that using a phone while driving is dangerous and not acceptable, even when using hands free. Implementing such a significant change to the way employees work on a day to day basis needed an innovative way of getting the message across in a forceful and memorable way. SMS has a way of cutting through like no other communication can.

If you’re planning on using bulk sms solely  as a way of keeping in touch with staff, then the costs will be very low indeed. Accounts are free to set up and come with 10 free text credits so that you can test the service at no costs. You can buy exactly the number of text message credits that you need for your sms alert, so they’ll be no wastage. If you haven’t already set up a free bulk sms account, you can do so here. The system itself is very easy to use and has been developed with marketers, not IT people in mind.

If you’d like to discuss how bulk sms might benefit your organisation, please feel free to call us on 0117 205 0202.

“Reminder: Career Development Workshop (Networking Skills) at 2.45pm today. Cavendish Room, Hamilton Centre. Entrance behind HSBC Bank. Refreshments provided.”

So by sending students a gentle text reminder it considerably narrows the scope for extravagant excuses about why they didn’t attend. In this example, an additional incentive of free refreshments is offered. Very generous.

We’ve seen a number of universities such as Sunderland, Southampton and Bristol all using bulk sms service in this way. The main reason for this is that it’s so effective. If you’ve received a text reminder about a specific event, ducking out seems harder and even a bit rude.

Cost is also a significant factor. As there are no set up or ongoing costs, sms services can be up and running for just a few pounds. This means that individual departments or courses can start their own bulk sms programme without having to go cap in hand to the finance department.

Text message services have come down significantly in price in the past few years and there is far more scope for colleges and universities to take full advantage and use sms for a range of different applications.  With over 98% of texts sent being actually read, there’s no doubt that by using an sms service the message will get through. Delivery reports for each bulk sms campaign sent will also show preceisely when the message landed on the mobile.

Please call us on 0117 205 0202 if you’d like to find out how sms might work for you. Whether you’re a business, or a government department, it’s likely that there’s a way that it could benefit your organisation.

Using a bulk sms service is an ideal way of getting their message across in a concise and punchy way. The charity sector is very competitive and mobile marketing campaigns cut across the ‘noise’ in a way that no other direct marketing channel can.

“Come on girls! Join the Peterborough Midnight Walk on Sat 30 April to raise money for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice. Entry only £12 til end of Feb. Sign up at www.sueryder.org/walktext or text WALK PET and your name/address to 88802 for entry form. See you there! OPTOUT: Text DTKQ to 88802. “

Notice that the message gives people two ways in which they can respond. They can either enter online or they can simply text a keyword to a 5 digit short code. In this mobile marketing campaign, the message that they wanted to convey couldn’t be got across in less than the standard 160 characters, so they sent a longer message. This lands on the phone as one long text but uses 2 or more text credits.

They’ve also, quite correctly, used a text unsubscribe option, giving people the chance to easily opt out from receiving future bulk sms campaigns.

Text Marketer’s bulk sms platform has been designed for non-technical people to use. Setting up an account is a 1 minute affair and all new accounts come with 10 free text credits, so the system can be trialled before any text credits are purchased.

We often notice that customers will send out a single bulk sms campaign to their entire database. So all customers are treated in exactly the same way despite the wealth of information that they hold on the individual customers.

With other direct marketing channels like email or direct mail, there is a limit on the number of different offers that you can practically implement. Mobile marketing does not share the same limitations. As there are no creative costs, databases can be segemented into much smaller target markets. The more precise and relevant a mobile marketing campaign is, the higher the response rate.

Marketers need to change their mind set when considering a mobile marketing strategy. While mobile marketing is indeed a direct marketing channel, it has different rules and needs a different approach. It is by far the nimblest and cost effective of the disciplines and bulk sms campaigns can be deployed in a matter of minutes at very low cost.

Text Marketer customers are often surprised at how easy it is to get a bulk sms account up and running and how little they have to spend to get their first campaign in the hands of their target market. Customers tend to assume that you’ll need a certain level of IT expertise and that they’ll need to contact their IT support department for support.

Our bullk sms systems have been developed with marketing, not IT people in mind. If you haven’t yet opened an account you can do so here. You’ll get 10 free text credits to test the service before committing any budget. If you’d like to discuss your mobile marketing strategy with us, please call on 0117 2050202.

According to some research compiled by TGI MobiLens and released by the Direct Marketing Association, it seems that the older generations are fast becoming avid users of mobile social networking too.

There’s been an increase of 50% in the number of over 50′s using their phones for social networking purposes. The DMA believes “this market could offer a number of opportunities as they are more likely to have spent more on expensive holidays or on credit or debit card purchases.”

This seems to be more concrete evidence that there’s plenty of buying power in the baby boomer generation and marketers should not underestimate their quick adoption of new technologies.

Mobile marketing using a simple bulk smsmechanic remains by a dramatic margin the most effective direct marketing channel. With its low cost and astonishing open rates of around 97%, companies who ignore it could miss out on an easy way to dramatically increase their sales.

Bulk sms campaigns can be set up in a matter of minutes and the response is almost immediate. If your organisation is new to mobile marketing and you’d like to see how it might work for you, please set up a free account. You’ll receive 10 free text credits which will allow you to test the system at no cost.

Alternatively, please give us a call on 0117 205 0202, we’d be delighted to suggest a bulk sms strategy that might work for you.

A remarkable example of the efficiency and effectiveness of mobile marketing as a communication medium has emerged from one of our customers in the fast food sector.

Grant Wiszniewski, operates the Papa John’s pizza franchise in South Shields and is always looking for new ways to increase business. He used Text Marketer’s mobile marketing system over a period of three weeks and increased his sales by 33%.

SMS Marketing Results

• Approximately 8100 bulk sms messages sent
• 318 redemptions
• Redemption rate of 3.9%
• Average spend per customer £13.56
• £5.30 generated for every £1 spent
• Average weekly takings increased by 33%

The message itself was a simple price based offer.

“Any Pizza, any size, including our massive 16″ – £6.99 collection or £8.99 delivery”

Grant, the owner of the business commented.
‘I am extremely pleased with the outcome of this campaign; I would never have predicted such a high redemption rate. My weekly takings are up and I am now looking for more delivery drivers and this can only be down to the extra customers that we have won through this text marketing. I have already booked to do another marketing campaign in January for both my stores.’

In terms of return on investment, you couldn’t hope for clearer demonstration of how powerful mobile marketing is and the results that can be achieved.

They identified 5 barriers that were responsible for repressing the take up of opt in sms services.

The full research article is available on the IAB web site and is well worth a read.

The 5 barriers to consumer opt-in

1. Awareness. 32% of consumers did not know about this type of service, or the benefits associated. The IAB and DMA recommend promoting the mobile marketing service using existing relationships and touchpoints, and welcoming consumers with an initial message once you have their details.

2. Perceived cost. This remains one of the most significant barriers to getting consumers to opt-in, with many believing that it will cost them money to receive messages from brands – 71% of respondents were wary of any costs that may be associated. It is essential that sms services are exceptionally clear in their communications with consumers of the costs associated with mobile messaging, which are often zero and should consider making responses also free.

3. Relevance. If consumers are to accept brand messages on their mobile devices, they remain adamant that these offers should be relevant and targeted – 71% saw unwanted sms messages from brands as a real barrier to opting-in. Brands have a real responsibility to let consumers know what kinds of messages they will be receiving, with a clear activation and retention programme.

4. Control. As always, consumers are keen to retain control over the mobile messages they receive from brands – 70% of respondents were concerned about having no control over what was sent to their phone, whilst 61% were worried about not be able to opt-out once having opted-in. Whilst reassuring consumers about the frequency of mobile messages is important, brands are required to adhere to the ‘Universal Stop’ policy, which makes unsubscribing easy.

5. Privacy. In line with digital communications in general, consumers are very conscious of sharing personal information – 64% of those surveyed did not want to opt-in to SMS or MMS because they thought they may have to share personal details. From the outset, brands need a clear communication to give consumers confidence that their privacy will be protected, and ask permission before sharing details with any third parties.

Jon Mew, head of mobile for theIAB said: “The research shows that once the mobile audience are opted-in to your communications, they can be one of the most receptive and engaged groups for brands, with many seeing mobile messaging as the best way to keep informed of relevant offers and services. The challenge now is for marketers to work out the best way to get these people on board – respect them, reassure them, and make sure they know there are no costs associated with this type of marketing to maximise your customer acquisition and retention strategy.”

Sports clubs have been hard hit of late, with normally loyal supporters choosing to stay at home and save the cash. This has made it even more important that clubs find new ways to drive people through the turnstiles.

Using an sms service is an obvious choice for achieving this. There’s no communication channel that’s as responsive or instant and the overall cost of an sms campaign is delightfully low.

A good example of this is Preston North End Football Club, who recently sent out an sms campaign aimed at parents with young children.

PNEFC Young North Enders Club special activity v C.Palace this Sat. Children can watch live Premiership footy in 3D, pool, games, fun, food + match ticket for game v Palace all for £13 over 8′s or £10 under 8′s. Children fully supervised throughout the day by YNE staff. Call 0844 856 1964 to book on now!

This is a great idea of how to combine low cost childcare with supporting your local team.

One of the additional benefits with using sms services in sports clubs, is that you can react very quickly to a situation. If you needed to fill seats very quickly, you can set up an sms campaign in minutes with an offer. The results of this can be measured in a matter of hours.

So accounts are free to set up and you can buy as many or as few text credits for your campaign as you need. SMS credits don’t expire either so you don’t lose them if you don’t use them. Please call us on 0117 9249207 if you’d like to discuss any aspect of mobile marketing.

On that note, I think I’ll contact Bristol Rugby Club and see if we can help boost their fast dwindling crowds with a timely sms campaign.

I love this idea, never mind a product offer or discount code, let’s get some people through the door and we can present our special offers while they’re munching a free sandwich.

“DONT FORGET IT’S FREE BUTTY MORNING AT TRAVIS PERKINS RETFORD UNTIL 10.00AM EVERY MONDAY !!!”

Innovative mobile marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple sms alert with an offer of a free sandwich is something we can all be tempted by. We tend to be so wrapped up in our own product or service we forget to see things from our customers’ or prospects’ perspective. This mobile marketing campaign is a great example where the objective of the campaign has been honed down  to one simple objective; i.e. drive as many people to the site as possible. How can we do that? Offer them some free grub. Simple.

The costs for this sms marketing campaign are spectacularly low. There are no set up or running costs for the sms software. Text credits are purchased either by credit card or invoice and there is no minmum order. This sms campaign went out to a few hundred customers and the campaign overall came in at well under £20.00 + VAT.

Open rates for sms campaigns are in a different league to email at over 97%, so when a message is sent you can be pretty certain that it’s been read. Using the delivery reports, you can also clean up your mobile data and remove any dead numbers that are no longer active.

If your business hasn’t yet seen how mobile marketing might generate more profit, feel free to set up a free test account. It comes with 10 free test credits so you can give the service a try. Alternatively please call us on 0117 9249207 and we’ll happily discuss some ideas with you and suggest a strategy for your first mobile marketing campaign.

The club has recently adopted Text Marketer’s web to sms service as a cost efficient way of securing short term warden cover for its huge range of sites.

Using bulk sms is a superb way of getting a message about a job opportunity to a large number of people. Within just a few minutes, an sms alert can be dispatched to any number of potential applicants, who can then respond either by text or by calling.

Compared to email, the open rates for sms are in a totally different league at over 97% and receipients receive the message wherever they happen to be. SMS can also be used as a way of drawing a customer’s attention to an email; so by combining sms and email you achieve a far higher open rate for your campaign overall.

With no minimum order for text credits, organisations can try sms software on a very small scale and on a very low budget. Text Marketer’s commercial director, Richard Hawley said:

“With a budget of just a few pounds, companies can start to explore what mobile marketing can do for their organisation. They can can easily measure the results and then decide upon a future strategy.”

Setting up an account is free and there is no monthly fee or contract. Your account comes with 10 free text credits so you can trial the sms service at no cost. You can also compare our sms prices against other companies with our sms price comarison table.

Text Marketer works with motor manufacturers and franchised car dealerships, helping them to develop their mobile marketing strategies. Many dealers are now achieving impressive cost savings by using sms for service and MOT reminders.

By giving the customer the choice about whether to opt for text reminders instead of a letter, dealers can not only save a great deal in postage and admin costs but also save significant time in doing so.

“The biggest impact for me is that I now have time to concentrate on other elements of my job. We save money on our communications and generate more business.” – Jim Bailey, Lathams Torbay.

Most car dealers initially use bulk sms in Service Reception, as a way of letting customers know that their car is ready for collection. As there is no set up cost or monthly fee, dealers can get started at very cost. When the benefits of a text messaging service become clear then they also use sms across the sales and service departments.

If you’d like to start using sms in your dealership, set up a free account. There’s no set up fee and no minimum order. Compare our bulk sms prices with many of our competitors using our price comparison table. Please call us on 0117 9249207 if you’d like to discuss this further.

One of the main attractions is the low cost; An sms costs just a few pence and with read rates of over 97% it’s no real surprise that marketers are looking to develop their mobile marketing strategies.

Some Text Marketer customers are finding ways of further reducing their sms costs with effective use of the unsubscribe tool. By making it quick and easy for customers to remove themselves from an sms database, the cost for future business sms campaigns can be reduced.

To unsubscribe to an sms list, all a consumer needs to do is reply to the text with a unique unsubscribe keycode. That person’s number is then stored within the Text Marketer account which will not allow further texts to be sent to that mobile. It’s a failsafe system to ensure that if a user has unsubscribed, then he or she can receive no further texts from that organisation.

One Text Marketer customer now has over 55,000 customers on their unsubscribe list. The annual cost saving by not sending messages to people who do not wish to receive them is well over £10,000

Not only is this a sensible way of keeping customers happy but the Mobile Marketing Association guidelines state that you are required by law to include an unsubscribe option in your bulk sms campaigns.

Every Text Marketer account has a free unsubscribe tool so potential costs savings are available to all. If you’d like to find out more about this or any other sms marketing topic, please feel free to call us on 0117 9249207.

The data held on their database includes the postcode of the customer, allowing them to send news alerts to subscribers in specific geographic locations. So sms alerts can be sent out to readers in just one postcode sector which typically containes between 2 and 4 thousand households. (e.g EH13 2)

For example, a recent text informed local residents about a planning decision on a block of flats that would have an impact in the area.

“Fountainbridge flats set to go ahead. Read about controversial plan in today’s News. To stop, txt EXIT to 88802.”

By alerting readers to local stories, The Scotsman is engaging with customers in an innovative way and is proving a successful strategy in driving  newspaper sales. The Scotsman is also making good use of Text Marketer’s unsubscribe tool that allows readers to easily remove themselves from the list. Once a customer has unsubscribed, the sms system will no longer allow messages to be sent to that number. This is a failsafe function that means that a customer cannot accidentally send out a message to someone that has already unsubscribed.

Text Marketer is delighted to be working with The Scotsman and looks forward to helping them further develop their mobile marketing strategy.

The report in its entirety is a little ‘dry’ but the general gist of it, is that sms is likely to continue and evolve over time rather than be taken over by some new form of communication.

This is good news for marketers wishing to capitalise on the success and responsiveness of sms by using an sms gateway to communicate with prospects and customers. Unlike email which has become increasingly frustrating to work with, using an sms gateway is still refreshingly simple, cost effective and responsive.

Low Spam Count

One of the keys to its success is the lack of spam that we all receive on our mobiles. It’s remarkable that sms has been around for over 10 years yet most people receive little if any sms spam. When was the last time you received a Viagra offer by text? According to the Mobile Marketing Association, the open rates for sms is over 98%, the same certainly cannot be said of any other communication method.

Free SMS Gateway Account

So if your business hasn’t yet taken the plunge and started using an sms gateway, now might be a good time to start. With Text Marketer’s account, there are no set up or monthly fees and your account comes with 10 free text credits so that you can test the system at no cost. As well as taking advantage of the lowest sms gateway costs, Text Marketer is the only sms provider that gives you a free unsubscribe tool so that your customers and prospects can easily remove themselves from your list should they wish.

SMS Services beat direct mail for response

Using a bulk sms service to promote a retail business is incredibly cost effective and very responsive. Text credits are the lowest in the mobile marketing  industry nd you can expect response rates of up to 18%. (source – Mobile marketing Association.) In comparison, direct mail generates response rates of up to 2%.

Setting up a bulk sms account is free and you get 10 free text credits so you can test the system before making a text credit purchase.
