What Is SMS for Customer Service?
SMS for customer service, also referred to as customer texting, is a service in which a business or organization uses SMS marketing software to respond directly to messages from customers or constituents. Text messaging for customer service can allow for faster response rates and more personalized service.
Customer service texting is a form of business texting, which is the practice of conducting text message communications, especially for customer service purposes, over a text-to-landline enabled phone number. Businesses can use a text marketing service provider like SimpleTexting to configure an SMS customer service solution that lets their customers instantly get in touch with questions about an order, special requests, or inquiries about whether a product is in stock.
Unlike mass texting, which involves large-scale campaigns and abbreviated phone numbers, business texting uses regular 10-digit phone numbers and lends itself perfectly to 1-on-1 communications such as customer service text messaging and support interactions.
