Text Messaging Online
Online text messaging
is probably the most underused web enabling technology and yet
one of the most powerful. From your website you can instantly
contact your customer or visa-versa your customer can instantly
contact you.
- Send driving directions to
your business. How convenient! The customer doesn't need to
take out paper & pencil or print a web page. While driving
they can refresh their memory with a quick look at the phone.
They won't lose the directions unless they lose their phone.
When they tell their friends about your business it is like; "You've
got to try this coffee shop I went to last night, the bread pudding
is to die for! It's a bit hard to find though - Oh wait, let
me send you the directions via text message!"
- From your website, send a digital coupon.
Even if your clientele would never be caught using a paper coupon,
they may use a digital one! You'll also know which customers
found you via the web.
- For workshops, seminars or lectures, automate event RSVP.
Send a message like "You are now registered! please present this code when you arrive: WX4589. Harris Building on Lake Street, 3rd floor, 7:00pm"
- Set up
a text message mailing list. Have
a lot of people working in the field who you need to get a message
to? "Important meeting tomorrow at 8:00". Send to
everyone with one click. Sure you could run the list
directly from your phone but when it is on the web the
vice-president or branch manager can also use it.
- Custom
integration of
text messaging into your existing online application. If you
run a job recruiting site, you can have a text message sent to
your phone whenever a new resume is submitted.
Prices vary depending on how many
messages you purchase and whether you want to buy your own shortcode
or use WildWebWidget's shortcode (the shortcode is way to identify
the sender for combating text message spam, contact us for more
details).
