Text messages
offer an alternative way to direct mail to ensure your
clients are kept up to date with the latest
offers or news from your business at a fraction
of the cost. Text messages are
sent in real time at a time you choose ensuring
that your clients receive the information at an
optimum time.
| |
|
Using our SMS tools, a single text message can
be sent to not just one, but to many thousands
of clients at the same time. This is known as
"bulk texting" or "bulk text messaging".
Our interface is simple to use and
requires just a few clicks before your
message is ready to be sent. Configure
the send time, a sender ID, the expiry
of message and much more easily.

Upload your own numbers.
We provide an easy to use feature to upload
numbers into your account.
 |
This can be done from just simple text
lists right through to much more
complicated databases such as excel
spreadsheets where you may need to
extract numbers from multiple columns or
even import names. |
Our upload feature has many advanced features...
-
Automatic replacement of missing zeros
(which can be a common Microsoft Excel
problem).
-
Automatic search and removal of duplicate
numbers.
-
Automatic validation of each number grabbing
only valid mobile numbers and converting
each to the correct international MSISDN (eg
071234.. to +4471234..)
-
Automatic removal of numbers that already
exist in your database.
-
Automatic removal of numbers that have text
STOP.
-
When uploading numbers to a particular group
any client that already exists has the group
simply added to them.
-
Upload CSV files from company databases and
specify the columns to search for names and
numbers.
How do I get my own numbers in order to send
messages?
Don't worry if you do not already have a
database of mobile numbers to upload straight
away.
 |
What makes us unique is that we provide every
account with a free "virtual mobile number" or if
required a "shortcode number" which your
clients can simply text to and then join
your database automatically.
You
simply choose a "keyword" when registering and
when your clients text the keyword, they
register. It's that simple! |
The number of clients you can capture using a
"text in" number is
unlimited.
Numbers are automatically captured when they
text your keyword and if you set up sub keywords
your clients can subscribe into the correct
category of your database automatically.
Bulk messaging online... or from your mobile!
To make the service truly mobile, we offer
Remote Mobile Messaging.
With this unique feature, you don't even need to go online
to send a bulk message. By simply texting the word MOBILE followed by
the message
you want to send to 82055, our system will send
the message to your clients on your behalf just
as if you were sat at a PC. What's more, the
text messages are deducted from your
Textvertising account not from your mobile. What
could be easier?
612 character messages.
With Textvertising you are not just limited to
the standard 160 characters. You can send up to
612 characters just as easily, enabling you to
send almost four times as much
information in a text message.
How
do I buy messages?
Just like topping up a phone, you can buy text messages
in quantities of between 50 and 50,0000 online
or by telephoning us if you require more. Once
purchased, they remain in your account and never
expire. Simply use them when you need to.
Not all text messaging providers are the same.
Many other providers can confuse you, like
showing a cost per "credit" not per message.
An actual message may use 2 or 3 "credits", costing
you twice or three times as much as you may have
first thought.
Some providers also set an expiry on messages
purchased. If you haven't
used what you have bought within a given time,
they are simply expire and are removed from your
account.
Did you also know that not all SMS routes are
the same? Some providers use poor quality routes
which do not provide delivery reports and
experience
delivery failures - especially to numbers that
have been ported to another network. This is
common place with providers that are not UK
based as they try to avoid the internetworking
fees that apply in the UK.
What makes us different?
Textvertising connect directly to the UK's largest
messaging network. This means super-quick delivery
times and a complete handset delivery report for every message you send. As we do
not rely on other third party messaging companies, reliability is
exceptional and we can provide support at the highest
level - not just online, but by telephone 24 hours a day
if you need it.
We only route through the highest quality ported
routes inside the UK and comply with the UK
standard internetworking policy. This ensures
delivery even to cross network ported numbers.
Included in the starter package is a host of
innovative features, but you can upgrade your account
at any time to take advantage of as many extras
as you need to run any SMS or marketing campaign.
