Interactive SMS is more powerful tool than phone calls and emails
SMS scores over email
- Everybody has a mobile phone but not an email address.
- Everybody has mobile phone with them 24 hours.
- Sending an SMS message is quicker than sending an email.
- SMS is interactive. Customer gets an immediate response to an SMS but email response may not come at all.
SMS scores over phone calls
- You can only receive 2-3 calls at a time. Then you are too busy. You can receive even 1000 SMS messages at the same time.
- When a phone line is busy, customers cannot get through. Incoming SMS messages always get through.
- Phones remain unanswered when work place is closed for the day. But incoming SMS is always open and working.
- Even when a call gets through, the customer often waits for the concerned person to come online. Often the customer drops the call. Not so with SMS.
- It is easier to send an SMS message than to make a phone call.
- If you have voicemail, you will know that majority of people hang up and never leave a voice message.
- SMS is discreet. It is simpler for a customer to send an SMS when he does not want to be overheard.
