Business texting: the new way of doing business

If you look at businesses in the US, business texting is virtually non-existent here. However, it’s surprising that once businesses get hooked on to business text mode of communication they tend to stick with it for a long time to come. It’s because with business texting you get to connect with all your customers with a single click of a button! 

If customers’ friends are using it – you should too!

It’s funny but most technology is propagated because friends use it! If you look at common communication modes today, they all started with friends using them then propagating them totheir friends and so on. It’s the same with business texting. If you want it to be a roaring success in the market, you need to make it own to the public. That will only happen if your company starts using and propagating it. Start using it yourself, then advise friends and so on. Very soon you will find your customers open to the idea as well. It’s a fantastic way to grow business and revenues.

Text messages on TV

When it comes to business texting, there are loads of ideas that can work potentially to your advantage. If you observe some of the popular TV programs you will find plenty of text messages scrolling through the bottom of the screen. These are all done to encourage users to interact with the brand and make their presence felt. It’s a powerful way of making users feel wanted, important and noticed. When they see their name up on the screen they are bound to feel loyal towards your brand! You could also encourage users to provide their opinions or viewpoints on a particular topic of interest.

Predict sports

In soccer events or cricket action, you can use business texting to your advantage. If you own a sports based goods company that is sponsoring a soccer match, you could encourage users to predict the future happenings of a match and send in their responses via text messaging. The reason this ploy always works is because you get to involve the users, get them to actively participate and also encourage them to remember your brand. You could even have a contest in this scheme where any contestant who predicts the game correctly will get to win exciting gift hampers or prizes from your company! Thus business texting is all about active involvement and enhancing brand recall in the customer’s mind.

Make purchases

If you thought business texting was more about expressing opinions and staying connected, that’s not all. There’s a lot you can do with the help of this ingenuous communication strategy. You could advertise a number on the newspaper stating that customers can place orders for buying your product by SMS-ing to the number. This way you can increase the number of sales your company makes. Text messaging is by far more convenient as compared to going online and buying or buying over the counter. Thus business texting can be used to increase sales, stay connected, make strategic business decisions and much more!
