How to Use SMS for Business

From communicating with customers to connecting with your employees, there are many ways your business can use SMS:

Communicate With Customers

SMS business services make it easier than ever to communicate with customers. Using two-factor authentication, your company can send codes to users when they try to log into their accounts. The codes provide an extra layer of security and allow you to verify that a customer is really who they claim to be.

Manage Employee Scheduling

Texting can streamline the employee scheduling process, especially for companies that have several shifts during the day or employees who don't always work 9-5 or 40 hours a week. You can send a message to each employee when you have extra shifts to fill or to let people know when their weekly schedules are available.

SMS Business Services Let You

Reach People Where They Are

Think about the last time you went anywhere without your phone. You probably can’t remember. The same is true for your customers and employees. People have their phones by their sides day and night, when they’re at home, at work or out and about.

Business SMS puts your company’s messages and promotions right into people’s hands. They don’t have to log onto a computer or an email client to get the latest news from you. Instead, they get a notification directly on their phone, which they can open instantly.

Beyond reaching people directly, there are several other benefits to using business SMS. Connecting by text lets you:

Reach more people: With bulk messaging, you can send texts to hundreds or thousands of recipients at the same time. Red Oxygen’s bulk SMS feature lets you schedule bulk texts to send at a specific time on a specific date.
Get instant replies: Since people are likely to be near their phones when they get your texts, they can respond right away to confirm an appointment, make changes or accept an offer.
Send personalized messages: Our business SMS platform makes it easy to personalize the texts you send, so people feel like you’re speaking directly to them. Personalizing your texts also helps your business avoid getting flagged as spam by carriers.
