We sat down and came up with a few uses for restaurants, estate agents, letting agents, car dealers, marketing campaigns, schools, sales teams, recruitment, bars and clubs, deliveries, personal assistants, field managers, doctors and dentists. If you come up with some other uses let us know and we'll add your ideas to the list, with due credit to your idea of course :-)
• Restaurants
Fill those cancellations or promote special offers by sending one message to many of your regulars at the click a button. This is both timely and more efficient (people always read a text message, as soon as they know they’ve received one) and it’s also cheaper than any other type of communication. You can also use the actual message as a voucher "Hi John, if you bring your mobile phone with this message you will be entitled to your first drink on the house".
• Estate Agents & Letting Agents
Text messaging is an ideal way of informing your clients of a new property that has just come onto the market which matches their chosen criteria. Impress your clients with the speed at which you can inform them when a new property comes on the market. It also has the added benefit that your clients will call you, which saves you chasing them, and in turn saves both time and money. Or the potential buyers can text the estate agent with the unique five-digit code found pasted on the For Sale sign, they can then be sent the property details and internal photographs. Stand out from your competition, by using the latest technologies to help you sell / rent your properties.
• Car Dealerships
Save time and money by sending a text message to all customers who have shown interest in a particular car make, model, colour and price. Why not combine the ability to send text with the impact of picture messaging? Send potentail customers a picture of their ideal motor at a fraction of the cost of calling their mobile. Offer an incentive on production of the message when buying the car such as a 12 month MOT or free service.
• Marketing Campaigns
Why not incorporate a mobile marketing strategy into your advertising and marketing campaigns. This has now become standard for many companies and many Marketing Companies are realising that text messaging is a highly cost effective and highly efficient means to get a message to a targeted audience.
• Schools & Education Authorities
Send instant text messages to parents telling them that their son or daughter is absent and receive a text reply to confirm authorised absences. Remind students when they have exams or visits to attend. Communicate with parents when there is important school news such as the school is closed unexpectedly or there is a parents evening. Easily and quickly contact staff with important reminders or messages.
• Sales Managers
Keep in touch and share information with your sales teams. Rather than making dozens of costly calls to your mobile work force, with the push of one button, you can alert all of your sales force about any leads, competitor activity or even just price changes.
• Recruitment & Staffing Agencies
There are substantial cost and time savings to be made using text messaging to communicate with your candidates. Most temporary staff and job seekers have mobile phones but they may not all have 24/7 email access. Therefore you can end up making several calls, just to speak with one prospective candidate who may not even be available. If you send a text message the available and interested candidates will contact you.
• Bars and Clubs
Why not promote your business special offers direct to your clientele. Deliver critical messages promoting happy hours, special events and special offers. You can also use the actual message as an incentive to attract customers on a certain night "Hi John, if you bring your mobile phone with this message you on New Years Eve, you can have your first drink for free".
• Deliveries
For any business that delivers goods or parcels, to either the domestic market or for businesses, avoid all the hassle of the customers not being there. Simply send the customer a text message to let them know the estimated time of arrival. This will save your delivery man waiting for someone to arrive to sign for the parcel and save your office / drivers from many unnecessary phone calls. As well as saving money on telephone calls it give your customers a better service and saves your drivers from having to make return trips.
• Personal Assistants
Get messages to your managers quickly and reliably, without the problems of their phone being out of range or having to leave a voicemail which then requires your manager to break off from his important meeting to call you back.
• Field Managers
Send your field engineers their latest job details and site address direct to their mobile phone. We currently have a company who uses SMS Sender 8 to allocate jobs and accommodation to 50 engineers out in the field carrying out portable appliance testing.
• GP’s/Dentists/Opticians
Remind your patients of their appointments. Instead of having to chase your patients to remind them of their next appointment simply send them a text. This is cheaper and easier for you, and there is no risk of you calling the patient at an inconvenient time.
