What is Text Message (SMS) Marketing?

Text Message Marketing is a communication service that lets businesses send SMS messages to hundreds or thousands of subscribers’ mobile devices at the same time. Businesses of all kinds are using texts to communicate with their target audience in a quick, easy manner.

How WDM’s SMS Marketing Services Work

By law, you must have your customers opt into text marketing explicitly and in writing. We will help you get started by setting up a phone number and keyword for your text campaigns. Customers will send the keyword to the phone number to sign up for your text message list.

We recommend you have this keyword and phone number printed on business cards, invoices, or other items to hand to customers and encourage them to sign up. We can also place a form on your website for people to opt-in to your text message program.

Each month, you can send text messages to your customers in bulk and receive answers in reply. Our rates are contingent on how many messages you want to send per month and how often you want to send messages. The most basic plan allows for up to 500 text messages a month. Best of all, with our messaging partner, unused credits for messages will roll over to the following month!
