What to do with Your Leftover Bulk SMS Credits

Do you leave your unused bulk SMS credits and forget about them or do you come up with innovative ways to use them and generate more business at the same time?

There are, in fact, a fair number of companies who do not utilise all their SMS credits. There are of course many reasons why this could be. But SMS credits = communication. And even the smallest bit of communication from you to your customers, could lead to bigger and better things. So here are three powerful ways you can engage with your customers using your remaining bulk SMS credits.

Bulk SMS Opinion Polls

What do your customers think about you? Perhaps not a question all companies want answered, but it’s this type of information that could help you with the way forward – how should you be doing things to ensure that your customers are happy and, ultimately, loyal? Here’s an example opinion poll message:

“From XYZ Company: How would you rate our ZYX Promotion that ran during August? Choose between BAD, ACCEPTABLE and GOOD. Reply with your answer.”

Bulk SMS ‘Text to Win’

‘Text to Win’ bulk SMS competitions not only ensure that your customers keep you in mind, but, if the prize you offer is creative and exciting, then your ‘Text to Win’ campaign has the chance to go viral! Here’s an example message:

“Want a sponsored night out on the town? You could win by correctly answering this question: How many awards did XYZ Company win for Service Excellence?”

Yes, it’s that easy – your bulk SMS credits can be put to good use if you put your mind to it.

Bulk SMS ‘Thank You’

Sending ‘Thank You’ messages per bulk SMS can be a bit tricky – when do you do it? After every purchase or at the end of every month? While there are no set rules, it often works when your ‘Thank You’ message is associated with a national or international event. Here’s an example:

“From everyone at XYZ Company, we’d like to thank you for your continued support and wish you & yours a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!”

And that’s all there is to it. Naturally the above are only to serve as bulk SMS examples – do you have any ideas that someone else could use? If so, leave them by commenting below.

And if you think you can make use of any of these message types anyway, regardless of how many credits you have left, go to our bulk SMS page now to see how you can send them.
