What is an SMS Blast?
What is an SMS Blast?
An SMS blast, or broadcast, is like using BCC in an email. You can send the same single text message to a group of contacts. Each person receives your text but doesn't see any of the group details. And, if you use a dedicated number, your contacts can reply.
Text broadcasting (or blasting) is great for businesses sending one-off offers and promotional campaigns. It’s a type of bulk SMS messaging.
Why Use an SMS Broadcast Service?
SMS is a simple and very effective tool for businesses to reach their customers. With unmatched open rates of 98%, you know that your message will be seen.
