Frequently Asked Questions About Call and Contact Center SMS

How to implement mass text messaging in your contact center?

Mass text messaging is a powerful marketing, lead generation, and customer service tool that can be used by contact centers to reach large amounts of customers with personalized messages in a short amount of time. Contact centers typically use one of two methods for mass text messaging, either through an SMS gateway or via a bulk SMS service provider.

An SMS gateway is an online platform that enables contact centers to send and receive SMS messages from any device or network. It acts as a bridge between the contact center’s communication system and the customer’s mobile phone. This method allows contact center personnel to quickly send personalized messages to customers on their personal devices, such as special offers or reminders about upcoming appointments.

A bulk SMS service provider is another option for contact centers looking to engage with customers through mass text messaging. Many providers have specialized services tailored for businesses, such as automated scheduling capabilities, analytics tools, and integration with other software systems. Bulk providers allow contact centers to easily create targeted campaigns and track response rates in real-time so they can ensure their message reaches the right people at the right time.

Both methods enable contact centers to reach large groups of customers quickly while maintaining individualized connections with each person they interact with. With mass texting, contact centers are able to significantly increase their outreach capabilities while providing valuable services that will foster long-term relationships with customers.

What’s the difference between Business SMS & MMS?

The difference between business SMS and MMS is that MMS is an enhanced version of mobile messaging that allows rich media like photos, videos, and audio clips to be shared with customers.

Contact Center SMS Best Practices

Some foundational SMS best practices for contact centers include obtaining express consent from contacts, the use of either 10DLC or short code numbers that associate your brand, concise messages with clear calls to action, and clear and conspicuous opt outs. It’s also a best practice to link SMs messaging records with other outreach attempts to track contact attempts and be able to measure channel and campaign performance.

What is Two-Way SMS?

Two-way SMS is a communication channel that allows businesses to have bidirectional conversations with customers via text message. The messages are sent using either short or long codes.

What are Consent and Compliance Concerns for Business SMS?

Business SMS is governed by several compliance regulations including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act which states that a business must obtain “express and written consent” before being able to communicate with customer via text. There are other regulations such as the CFPB debt collection guidelines which specifically restrict contact attempts in a business’s efforts to collect debts.

The Future of Business SMS

Business SMS is a very popular option for all kinds of use cases including sales, marketing, and customer support. As more and more businesses adopt the channel as a preferred method of communication with customers, carriers and regulatory bodies are moving to protect SMS more and more. The future of business SMS will continue to evolve and grow in popularity and we’ll see the use of MMS and rich media messaging continue to grow in interest.
