Why Rental Services Companies Should Use SMS

Your rental service depends on people leasing equipment from you and returning it on time. You also need customers to pay for their rentals promptly, especially if there are any issues, such as damage to the equipment. SMS communication puts your messaging directly in people’s pockets, making them more likely to respond and engage with you. You can send text messages to accomplish multiple tasks.

More Advantages of

Connection Icon SMS for Rental Services

Using SMS texts at your rental services company provides multiple ways to connect with customers and increase revenue. Text messages have a high read rate, meaning they are more likely to grab people’s attention than other forms of communication. You can use SMS solutions to:

  • Send promotional offers or special deals: If customers haven’t used your services in a while, lure them back in by sending promotional offers or discounts via text. You can send a unique code to each customer and a link so they can easily visit your site and schedule a rental.
  • Handle concerns quickly: Give customers a quick way to get in touch if they have a problem with their rental, such as a car that breaks down or a faulty piece of equipment. Send SMS texts to customers to let them know help is on the way.
  • Introduce new offerings: Whether an equipment manufacturer just released a new model or you’ve added new gowns and tuxedos to your selection right before prom season, a quick message can alert your clients to brand-new products and help them access those items before they’re gone.
