Why Businesses need bulk sms

Posted by Felix Okoli on Wednesday June 12, 2013 at 16:14:2:

Bulk sms simply refers to short text messages that are sent to a group of contacts or people. It may be relatively easy to send a text message from your phone to another person using the SMS application on your phone but when it comes to sending to a lot of people say 500 contacts, it may take some time, effort and even cost more.

Nowadays with a commercial bulk sms service, you can send text messages quite easily, quicker and also economically.

Think of it, if you have a business with over 1000 customers and have their contacts, you can always send them a single promotional message all at once with a bulk sms account. When it comes to the cost of sending sms using a bulk sms account, it really comes discounted. For instance, traditional sms services could cost as much as N10 per sms while you can get it for maybe N2 per sms with a bulk sms account.

How to send bulk sms
There are many ways to send bulk sms but let me list two
- Using a capable mobile phone
- Using a bulk sms account

When using a mobile phone, you would have to group those contacts that you want to receive that message first and then send a single message to that group.
With a bulk sms account, you can easily organize your contacts in your web account and be able to send them messages at a good discount.
