SMS Shortcode

If you give people the option, around 50% of them will choose to respond to your advertising by SMS. This applies both to business-to-business and consumer companies.

• "Nearly 50% of the total response was by sms, which was far higher than we expected. Overall response was higher too. Thanks." Marketing Manager, Mortgage Advice Services

Giving your customers more choice results in an uplift in overall response, generating more enquiries for your business

How does it work?

• The responder texts in a unique 'keyword' to a 5 digit short code, e.g. 81686
• Newstel captures their mobile number and the incoming message.
• The responder may also be asked to text in an e-mail or postal address.
• An automated text response is then generated that acknowledges their text and lets them know what will happen next.
• Newstel provides a powerful, web based, ‘campaign manager’ account allowing you to track and manage the incoming response.
