SMS Text Marketing

SMS text marketing is the best way to boost a brand as it powers a message that can reach a target audience instantly. Companies involved in this innovative form of text marketing can much more easily penetrate multiple industry verticals and different locations all over the world.

Recently Textapedia, which is known as the text messaging pocket guide featuring over one thousand acronyms and smileys, revealed it is launching its services within the Canadian market.  

Textapedia’s service will completely revolutionize the way Canadians leverage SMS text marketing for brand promotions. According to the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association (News - Alert), Canadians send more than 150 million text messages a day—which will allow the company to see continuous success. 

Textapedia’s texting pocket guide is a quick reference brochure with over 1,200 acronyms covering sports (MLB (News - Alert) Baseball, NFL Football, NBA Basketball, NHL Hockey, MLS Soccer), fantasy players, business and banking, 10 languages to text “I LOVE YOU” (French, Spanish, Polish, Italian, German and Chinese to mention a few), love and fun, medical, texting etiquette, hundreds of smiley faces and more.

Coming in four new exiting colors including pink, blue, tie-dye and green, the handy guide contains specific information for wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile (News - Alert), Cricket, US Cellular, colleges and businesses, as well as fundraisers.

In another related development in the SMS text marketing arena, CallFire, a California-based company that provides a reliable, enterprise-grade VoIP platform that powers voice broadcasts, call centers, call tracking, and SMS text marketing campaigns, has unveiled the next evolution of the office business phone number with the launch of its “textable” local phone numbers.

CallFire’s ten digit SMS long codes offer both call forwarding for voice and the power to send and receive SMS text messages. And the business applications of "textable" long codes are nearly limitless.

With customizable auto responses, companies can respond to support issues without ever speaking to the client. Hence, companies plagued with long customer support queues, for example, have new ways to expedite support responses by leveraging quick text message responses.
