The way that technology continues to advance, makes it easier than ever for consumers to research, communicate and buy with companies wherever and whenever they want. Is your business using text to communicate? If not, it’s time to expand your communication strategy and begin to reach more customers through business texting solutions.

Nearly the entire American population has access to a mobile device which is capable of both receiving and sending a text message. Research has shown that 93% of people keep their mobile devices within reach at all times. The U.S. edition of Deloitte’s global mobile consumer survey, which assesses and analyzes attitudes about mobile technology, shows that:

  • Americans are viewing their smartphones more often than ever before, on average 52 times per day
  • The top communication service is texting, with 93% of consumers using it.
  • 84% of working adults use their personal phones during working hours.

It’s no surprise that business texting solutions have become the preferred and most effective way to reach more customers. 

Let’s talk about effectiveness. Is there any other channel of communication that is as effective at ensuring the actual message gets across to the customer and not filtered out? No, there isn’t. According to CTIA.org (Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association), the spam rate of texting is 2.8% where email is an estimated 53%. What does your current communication plan look like? Is it heavily reliant on phone and email? If so, it’s time to evaluate business texting solutions.

Business Texting Solutions

 

Business texting solutions support customer preferences 

Business texting solutions are not just one of the most convenient and effective ways to engage with customers today, it’s also preferred. Yes, that’s right. Customers prefer to send and receive texts from your business.

There is something to text messages that are preferred; typing short replies to short message rather than, than long replies to lengthy emails is much more appealing. The fact is, texts are short and are intended to the point across faster than in an email. They’re not all that involved, unlike emails, or phone calls which can take a lot of time. Business texting solutions provides options for customers as they can quickly read and respond from virtually anywhere. During the commute, over lunch, a baseball practice and during the day at work.    

Customer expectations align with business texting solutions

In today’s fast-paced modern society, it’s important for business owners to keep up with new trends, technology and customer expectations. According to the 3rd annual State of the Connected Customer Report from Salesforce, 75% of customers expect companies to use new technologies to improve their experiences, while 67% say the way a company uses technology reflects how it operates in general. Your customers expect that you’re providing a great customer experience and are a technological forward-thinking company.
