Any successful SMS marketing campaign will have 2 stages using the following basic structure.

1. Data Gathering - collection & validation of mobile numbers.

There are several methods of effective number gathering, largely dependant on the type of business being promoted (retail / hospitality / corporate etc).

Example

A retail outlet wishes to build a list for SMS marketing purposes. Posters displayed in the store invite customers to text 'SPECIAL' to your shortcode number to join a club being sent details of special offers / promotions etc.. The system will then respond with a short Welcome / Thank You message and the customer's mobile number is stored for later broadcasts.

2. Broadcast - sending relevant and targeted messages to subscribers from gathered data.

The keys here are targeting your audience correctly and making the message relevant to the receiver. When these simple rules are followed, SMS marketing offers far and away the best ROI for your marketing budget.

The broadcasting of messages to previously gathered lists is achieved in a very straightforward manner with the FASTMMS system.

All mobile numbers of those who have responded to advertisements are AUTOMATICALLY stored for later use.

When you want to inform people of your latest offers and promotions, simply select your list, compose your message and hit go - your message will be delivered to recipients in an instant.

At FASTMMS we can help compose a message that hits home and offer advice about timing your campaigns correctly - another crucial factor in a successful campaign.

“In late 2007 Sustrans used FASTMMS to communicate with its supporters for the first time. During the lead up to the vital public vote stage in our bid to win The People’s £50 Million Lottery Giveaway we chose SMS as the way to send information quickly and in a way that enabled the recipients to take action immediately. FASTMMS gave us a great price for collecting text opt ins over a short period of time and the staff were always really helpful and knowledgeable. The online control centre was really easy to use and we became confident very quickly that we were in good hands. Sustrans thanks FASTMMS for all its support during the vote for The People’s £50 Million and for your part in our success.”

PLEASE NOTE: FASTMMS and FASTSMS do NOT supply mobile number lists. Whilst it is possible to purchase such lists this is generally extremely unwise as you can never be sure of the quality of the list, who else has used it and how many times or whether the list is even a legally "opted-in" list.

The rules for running SMS campaigns are very clear and very well enforced.

FASTMMS and FASTSMS only operate campaigns that fully adhere to the ICSTIS regulations concerning the broadcasting of SMS messages to mobile handsets. Please contact us for a full copy of the latest regulations.
