Two-way SMS communication –the key to success

Engaging. Fast. Time and cost-effective.

HORISEN Inbound SMS service helps you build a long-lasting relationship with customers.

Two-way communication is a conversation between two parties – people between themselves or people and chatbots. As simple as that.

It is not a one-way street as both parties need to be involved in the conversation passing on the message or sharing the information. As bilateral communication has always been an integral part of our society, it has also become an integral part of business strategies when experienced professionals realized that building a strong relationship with their customers, rather than having one-way communication with them, is a foundation of a successful business.

Nowadays more than ever, it is important for businesses to maintain continuous contact with their customers in order not to lose opportunities for growth and development. With SMS marketing, companies strive to build a genuine relationship with customers by using two-way communication via SMS, one of the fastest-growing channels for business communication.

Many companies still use one-way SMS broadcasting campaigns to send messages in real-time to multiple customers. They send campaigns and promote their products and services aiming at increasing brand awareness and sales. And it gives quite good results.

However, these companies are unaware of how many relationship-building and engagement opportunities have been missed by not including two-way communication in their strategy. According to research in the field, most one-way SMS messages get responses that stay unanswered due to the lack of the right tool.

Having in mind all the limitations one-way communication brings to businesses, HORISEN has developed SMS Long Number Service for global two-way communication between brands and their clients. This service helps brands get more engagement from their clients, build customer loyalty as well as build up contact database in an easy, user-friendly, time and cost-efficient manner and use them for future marketing campaigns.
