How does it work ?

Keyword SMS Campaign

It offers a unique and effortless online facility to run campaigns by simply determining basic competition parameters. Our SMS campaign application provides a great way for organisations to interact and build relationships with customers, whilst providing the foundation for building an 'opt-in' database of consumers with whom further marketing interaction can take place.

SMS competitions also compliment existing promotional channels. For example, competitions can be promoted via brochures, poster sites, food or drink packaging, TV and radio, or online media.

This application enables all types of organisations, including those in media and entertainment, fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), retail and the travel sector, to start deploying mobile services.

To enter a competition, the subscriber simply sends a SMS text message containing the answer to the question promoted, to a Premium Rated 5-digit shortcode. Our application has the option to generate an automatic response, which can be returned to the participant to confirm his/her entry.

Within this response, the customer can be encouraged to reply to opt-in to further marketing activity, or can be redirected to a website URL to register interest in receiving further information.
