SMS contests are a great way to engage your customers, collect mobile numbers and also increase brand loyalty. With SMS contests done during the holidays period,many businesses have been able to increase their customer database and drive repeat sales for years to come.
An example of SMS contests might be: “Text SHOE to 12345 to get a free pair of shoes today”. This SMS is brief and straight to the point. You can then include some other information to the message,like a link to your website or a phone number to call. This drive traffic to your website or your business as a whole, as the case may be. It also help you to get phone numbers of both existing and prospective customers.
So meet up with your marketing team and decide on the SMS contest to run this time of the year that aligns with your businesses goals and objectives. Once that is done, go to your bulk SMS account and compose your SMS. Wait and see the results flying in.
