    Mass texting in groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Mass texting in groups is the top feature that works well for text marketing. This feature allows you to send hundreds and even thousands of messages with the click of a button. Moreover, you can manage your database according to the different kinds of audiences. This is especially important for businesses that have multiple strategies for different services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mass texting is not only limited to text marketing. You can use it for sending appointment reminders and as such. Grouping allows you to easily manage this while making segmentations. Click on the image below to know how grouping helps manage the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A service like ExpertTexting has a user-friendly interface that allows you to manage your groups easily. Moreover, you can make several keywords<\/a> that act as a group. This allows better direct marketing with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Send transactional text messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Transactional messages are automatic messages that send out. Unlike promotional messages, these messages are sent out against an action taken by your consumer. These messages include when a subscriber sends the keyword to your numbers, scans the QR code<\/a>, or even uses the signup widget to sign up to your list. Other instances including appointment confirmations<\/a>, bookings, payment approvals, order receiving, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since consumers spend a lot of time on their phones, these messages become an integral part of communication. They are direct, instant, and even seem personal. Transactional messages help send out time-sensitive and other information instantly. Since people read texts more than emails (98% vs 18% only), texts become the best way to transfer instant information.

    Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A keyword is a small word or phrase that your customers can use to subscribe to your list. When this phrase is sent to your numbers, the customer is automatically added to the group of the keyword. They get a short welcome message with all the details and the expected frequency. With a service like ExpertTexting, you can have unlimited keywords<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Keywords are generally only 4-11 characters long without special characters or spaces. These make them easy to remember and send out. However, your job here is to select the best keyword that you can associate with your brands. Moreover, you need to pick a keyword that is easy to remember too.

    QR Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    QR codes are another example of one of the most useful features. Since text marketing allows you to send messages to the people that gave your prior express consent only, you need to build your list. List building tools include QR Codes. These are easier than keywords. With keywords, you rely on the retention and reading skills of your customer. They have to type it in, avoid human error, and send you the message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, QR codes make this much easier. The user has to scan the QR code with their phone and they are good to go. ExpertTexting offers you to create your QR code against the different keywords that you have. QR codes can be placed on flyers, checkout counters, and even virtually.
