Today’s customers are constantly bombarded with messages, emails, and communications they don’t care about. As a result, customers have grown tired of frequent and irrelevant content.
One study even suggests that 52 percent of global consumers would unsubscribe if a company emailed them daily.
However, when used correctly, customer communication tools can be great builders of customer loyalty, especially if they allow companies to respond or initiate a two-way conversation.
Indeed, Harvard Business Review found that 68 percent of companies expect advanced mobile messaging apps to play a significant role in online consumer marketing within five years.
But many companies still rely on one-way communication strategies, like SMS campaigns, to reach out to customers, and inform them of deals, new products, and more. And while it has worked so far, this legacy system is not ready for the next phase of customer experience, especially one driven by younger generations’ obsessions with portable devices.
As such, an opportunity to drive engagement comes to the fore. In fact, Gartner reports that consumers respond to SMS 45 percent of the time, versus six percent if contacted via email.
So, it’s clear that the limitations of one-way communication are starting to grate on consumers. That’s why HORISEN has developed its Inbound SMS service, which allows for seamless two-way communication with customers on a global scale.
