Keyword Response and Smart Texting Campaigns
Since bulk messaging campaigns may be the most conventional type of text messaging marketing, there are other options for individuals that want to take their campaigns up a level. These campaigns can stand apart from the crowd, and get businesses noticed. When business owners want to board on these types of campaigns, they will look towards a keyword response campaign or a smart texting campaign.
Keyword Response Campaigns
A keyword response campaign works very basically. A customer is given a keyword and a text number. When they text that keyword to the number they've been given, they receive a text back. Sending that keyword through text is the call to action for the customer, so that is already out of the way. The message they receive back tells them what to do subsequently.
It might be an event, a sale, or another promotional piece. It can even be that they will receive a call or an email. When the customer's action prompts you to take any action, such as email or call, it must be done within a certain amount of time. People do not want to enter a campaign only to be kept waiting.
Smart Texting Campaigns
Smart texting is the most complex, and therefore the slightest used, type of text message marketing campaign. It works very similarly to keyword response campaigns but requires a bit more technical expertise. In a smart texting campaign, once the customers have acknowledged a message back, they can take another action, such as calling you, right from their phone.
You can then respond through the same campaign, over and over again until the conversation is completed. That's really what smart texting campaigns are all about - starting a conversation. To use them though, business owners will need either a marketing expert or someone well-versed in how to use servers, databases, and maybe even a little bit of coding.
In the end, it does not matter if you choose the easiest bulk message campaign or the tech-savvy smart texting campaigns. What matters is that you start reaching out to customers these days with one of the easiest, and most useful, forms of marketing campaigns out there.
