Want to enhance communications, improve brand perception, and maximize sales and revenue?
Then business text messaging might be right for you.
An SMS messaging service for business lets you use a regular 10-digit or toll-free phone number to send and receive company communications via text.
Whether you want to text enable an existing landline, VoIP line, or register a brand-new number, SimpleTexting can get you up and running fast with SMS for businesses.
According to Market Strategies International 1, today’s consumers want brands to have a simple mobile messaging option for customer support.
66% of consumers either prefer mobile messaging or consider it their second choice for communications when compared to phone and email.
70% of consumers want to use mobile messaging for troubleshooting, and nearly two-thirds want to use it for purchases or reservations.
85% of Millennials and 54% of non-Millennials would pay more for a product/service that has mobile messaging support.
With the rising popularity of mobile apps and extensions like click-to-text, there’s a good chance your customers are already trying to text your business, and you just don’t realize it. All of their questions, comments, feedback, and sales inquiries are going… nowhere. Kinda makes you think, doesn’t it?
Business texting is a great way to let people skip the headaches and simply text customer service.
With a business SMS number, there's no need for anyone to install an app on their phone—as far as your customers are concerned, it works just like regular text messaging.
You can also use business text messaging to streamline internal communications. Keep your managers, employees, contractors, and other stakeholders up to date on corporate news and events by sending texts instead of—or in addition to—sending emails.

SMS messaging for businesses is primarily used for 1-on-1, non-marketing purposes such as customer service or informational messaging. A text message service for business is generally a more personalized form of communication than other forms of marketing tools.
Mass texting, on the other hand, involves high-volume marketing campaigns sent over a short code.
| Business texting | Mass texting | |
| Number | 10-digit phone number | 5- or 6-digit short code |
| Campaign | 1-on-1 texts | Mass texts |
| Opt-ins | None | Keywords, web forms |
