SMS/Text Messaging ... It's Not for Everyone

A Different Perspective

Some people prefer email.

Some people prefer a voice call.

Some people prefer to navigate a company’s website.

There’s a legitimate place for all the above methods in your company’s communication strategy. However, there is a large group of people that prefer text messaging (and the specific percentages of people aren’t critical, because it’s significant).

There’s a perception out there that suggests that corporate text messaging is about intrusive and unwanted marketing; certainly, that’s the focus of many SMS service providers. There are a lot of businesses that, in our view, “get it wrong”. They use messaging in a way that turns people off or makes them suspicious.

We think it should be different. We believe that text messaging can be used in a way that is welcomed by your customer. We believe that there’s a place for text messaging within every organization – along with telephone, email, and websites.
