Mobile Text Marketing
The way businesses and organizations communicate with their customers or members has evolved. Postal mails, newsletters, and printed ads are being replaced by emails, but the speed and convenience of email communications has created breeding grounds for unsolicited messages and overabundance of volume. Mobile text messaging has emerged as a new way of contacting customers with speed, relevance and effective response.
ZipcodeText's Mobile Text offers key advantages that email and postal mail cannot deliver:
- High-impact and timely delivery
- Personal attention
- Geo targeting
- Over 90% of messages are opened
- Short messages are read in full
- Extremely high purchase rate
- Capable of creating various fun, interactive, and engaging campaigns
A key foundation of mobile marketing campaign is mobile keyword, upon which you can create various mobile campaigns such as voting, survey, 2-way texting, or text-to-screen display.
Voice Broadcast
Voice messaging combines the personal touch of a human voice with advanced technology that allows you to communicate with hundreds or thousands of people with a single telephone call. Simply put, it's a pre-recorded message people can hear when they pick up their landline or mobile phones.
Voice marketing has been an integral component of top businesses' marketing mix and strategy to consumers for years. It provides your business with a platform to execute voice marketing campaigns that drive traffic to your store, website or event, while increasing customer loyalty, retention and satisfaction. Announce special sales, cross-sell complimentary products or services, and generate incremental sales.
Instant Message Marketing
Instant Message Marketing is rapidly becoming accepted in the business community as a viable communications tool and process. It's faster than e-mail, free on the client side, and even a novice user can easily grasp the interface in just a few minutes. It enables remote workers and business partners to "talk" and send information effortlessly via the internet.
How does it work?
Now you can easily send instant messages to individual customers or a group. You can even choose to setup an automated or recurring message to send to your customers at a pre-selected time. With ZipcodeText's platform you can incorporate text messaging marketing – a strong marketing channel for your business.
ZipcodeText can help further target the deliverability of your messages as well. Our unique feature called SmartBlast allows you to send a single message across multiple modes of communication. It will detect if a person has read the instant message and stop the same message from being delivered to the remaining modes of communication. For example, if the recipients are not online to receive the IM, the message will go directly to their mobile phones (skipping IM delivery).

Mobile Keyword
A Mobile Keyword is a one-word phrase that identifies a product, service, action, or business. People text a mobile keyword to a pre-publicized 4, 5 or 6-digit short code number to receive additional information and to join your mobile distribution list. For example, if a customer texts "SNEAKER or ZIPCODETEXT" to 96362, the customer will immediately receive an automated text response (that you can setup and change at anytime). The text response can be more information about your product or service tied to that specific keyword. You can also setup a different automated response with each mobile keyword that you setup. Anybody who creates an account with ZipcodeText can immediately create a mobile keyword as long as it's not already taken by another ZipcodeText user (much like owning an Internet URL).
Short Code: 96362
Short Codes are special telephone numbers that are typically 4 to 6 digits long. Unlike regular 10-digit phone numbers, you cannot call a short code number. They are used for texting purposes only. Short codes act just like any other regular 10-digit phone numbers that you can send text messages to. Typically they are used for business purposes for consumers to purchase products or to request additional information about a product, service, or business. They are often used to tally votes for a contest or sweepstake. You've seen mobile keyword and short code technology on TV shows, radio commercials, billboards, print advertising, and websites.
