How Does SMS Blast Texting Work?

Build Your List

Build your contact list by getting people to subscribe to your text message campaigns. You can collect phone numbers by creating an SMS keyword that your audience can text to your short code. If you already have a list of numbers, you can import it into the text blast platform via a CSV or Excel file.

Craft Your Message

Compose the blast SMS message you want to send to your contacts. Make sure to start with a compelling opener to grab the reader’s attention. You’ll also want to avoid using complex terms and industry jargon that can confuse your customers. Adding a clear call-to-action lets recipients know what to do next.

Send or Schedule

Click the send button to get your blast message out to your audience. You can choose to send your mass texts on the spot or schedule them for later. Dexatel’s campaign scheduling feature allows you to deliver your text whenever you prefer. This way, you can reach your customers at the right time.

Group Texting Vs Blast Texting

Recipient Limitations

Group texting only allows for 10 to 15 recipients, limiting your ability to connect with a wider audience. On the other hand, a text blast system has no limits as to how many customers you can reach with one message.

Response Mechanism

An SMS group text is exactly what it sounds like: a group conversation. This means that when a recipient replies, everyone else in the group can see it. With text blasting software, only you can see responses and text back.

Opt-Out Ability

Recipients of an SMS group text don’t have the option to leave the group. This makes it an obstacle to compliance with privacy regulations, whereas SMS blast marketing requires an option for recipients to opt out.

How Industries Benefit From SMS Blast Messaging

eCommerce

eCommerce retailers use SMS blast software to send special offers, exclusive discounts, new product arrivals, and abandoned cart reminders.

Food and Beverage

Restaurants and coffee shops make use of SMS text blasting to reach customers with combo deals, special offers, and new menu item alerts.

Real Estate

Real estate agencies launch SMS blast campaigns to let potential buyers know about open house events, new property listings, and price reductions.

Education

Schools and universities use SMS blasting to inform students, parents, and professors about campus events, exam dates, and class cancellations.

What Businesses Use Text Blast Services for

Promotional Campaigns

Considering the 98% open rate of SMS, texting blasts are the go-to choice for promoting your products and services. Be it driving conversions or boosting traffic to your website, you can get thousands to engage with a single compelling message.

Internal Communications

With emails often being ignored, employees can sometimes miss important alerts or updates. This is where SMS blasting comes in handy, helping you reach team members with surveys, meeting reminders, and more directly on their mobile devices.

Emergency Alerts

Prompt communication is key when it comes to emergency situations. When the need arises, companies and organizations can alert the masses with just a few clicks and potentially save lives by planning a text blasting strategy ahead of time.

Event Reminders

The effectiveness and immediacy of text messaging make it ideal for planning events and increasing attendance. With the same message, you can remind participants, volunteers, and others about upcoming events and relay important details.

What You Get With Our SMS Blasting Service

Automation

Minimize the effort you need to communicate with your customers. SMS blasting software like Dexatel lets you automate updates, event reminders, and more. You can set up certain messages to be delivered later and put others on a recurring schedule. This way, your texts go out at the right time without delay or further intervention.

Personalization

Sending blast text messages en masse doesn’t mean you can’t connect with your audience on a personal level. With personalization features, you can tailor the plain text messages you send to your customers. This means addressing each recipient by their name and making sure the content is relevant to where they live or what they’ve previously bought

Segmentation

Send out SMS blast messages to a certain part of your audience. Sorting your contact list manually can be inconvenient, error-prone, and time-consuming. Instead, you can benefit from audience segmentation tools and use customer data to categorize your recipients and tailor your SMS communications. You’ll see higher conversion rates in no time.

Analytics

Track and analyze your mass communications after sending out the text blast. This includes monitoring key performance indicators like open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates. You can use the information from the SMS analytics to define areas for improvement and optimize your mass messaging strategy accordingly.

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

Is it legal to send blast text messages?

Sending a text message blast is completely legal as long as you follow certain guidelines. Avoid buying a list of phone numbers, and always make sure to get permission from customers before texting them. And once they opt in, send a text blast confirmation message with clear opt-out instructions. Besides ensuring compliance, you’ll have a receptive audience interested in receiving future messages from you.

What should I look for in a blast text message service?

When choosing a text message blast service, make sure to account for factors like ease of use, reliability, pricing, and compliance with regulations. The service should offer SMS API integration, campaign scheduling, and two-way messaging as part of its features. Excelling in all these departments makes Dexatel a leading choice for businesses to drive sales, improve customer satisfaction, and raise brand awareness.

How much does it cost to send text blasts?

The cost of sending SMS text blasts depends on several factors, including how many messages you're sending and where you’re sending them. For example, targeted messages beyond borders cost more than local SMS text messages. With Dexatel, text message blasts cost depending on what you send. Our pay-as-you-go pricing model allows you to scale your mass text messaging as your business grows.

Can I schedule an SMS blast?

You can schedule blast text messages to go out whenever you prefer. Dexatel’s campaign scheduling feature lets you choose the date and time when you want to send SMS and MMS messages.

How to text blast using a mobile phone?

Sending a text blast from your mobile device is unfortunately not possible, especially with default messaging apps that are meant for one-on-one conversations. Although group SMS messaging is possible, there’s a limit to the number of people you can reach.

What number can I use for sending text message blasts?

Your SMS text blast service provider sets up your account with a 10-digit local phone number. If you already have a business number, the platform can text-enable it for you. Another option is to apply for a dedicated short code, which you can pair with a text keyword for collecting phone numbers and delivering updates.

Can I send messages in blast to previous customers?

As long as you obtain explicit written consent from your previous customers, you can reach them with text blast messages while staying compliant with SMS marketing laws like the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Customers who opt in are much more likely to engage with your marketing messages which they'll be willing to receive. There are many ways you can gather opt-ins, including keywords, web forms, and QR codes.
