Why is SMS the most effective brand communication channel?

A brand communication strategy supports branding initiatives. It informs, convinces, enlightens, teaches, and reminds customers about the products and services.

Many of a brand's most devoted customers are SMS subscribers, and they are enthusiastic about using SMS to get useful updates from their favorite companies

For a number of reasons, SMS is one of the best marketing tools available

People will read your messages within a few minutes of sending them, according to studies showing that SMS has a 98% open rate. They are, therefore, a very practical and secure method for businesses to contact their leads or customers.

Millions of people worldwide own a mobile phone capable of sending and receiving messages, and customers prefer SMS to receive notifications from their favorite brands. Moreover, customers do not need to depend on Internet connectivity or download any app to access SMS. It saves their time and makes them feel valued by the brands they love when offers and rewards are sent to them directly via text message.

While also enhancing customer satisfaction with your brand's marketing, SMS lowers your risk of being flagged as spam or added to a do-not-call list.

SMS marketing is less expensive than traditional marketing methods. It exposes your brand to thousands of people at once.

Brands can reach consumers right away with SMS marketing. There is a chance of missing out on a promotion or offer if you choose to email your customers about it. Instead, if you text them, they are more likely to see it right away and take the desired action. Text messages are relatively short and easy to read.

SMS notifications can be promotional, transactional, or for authentication and verification.

The business can communicate about its brand to existing and new customers via text message.SMS is the most convenient and cost-effective method of informing people about upcoming promotional sales, new offers, discount coupons, flash sales, customer loyalty programs, and other similar events. The customer is directed to the brand's website by the inclusion of a CTA (Call to Action) link in the text, which increases customer conversion.

Transactional messages are the result of actions taken by customers. This primarily encompasses automated reminders and notifications being sent out to customers. For example, when a customer buys any product from an e-commerce site, they get notifications about order confirmation, product delivery status updates, etc

The business can verify the right customer by sending 2-factor authentication OTP methods. As a result, both customers and suppliers develop a sense of trust. E-commerce businesses can avoid product returns with OTP verification. In transactions with banks and other financial institutions, OTP verification is more important
