With Pocket-Promo you can maintain a single integrated database that combines the power of SMS Mobile Text, Instant Message, Email, Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter!
Businesses and organizations utilize Pocket-Promo’s web-based software for its Mobile Keyword technology and Bulk Texting Services. They utilize the Mobile Keywords to get people to opt-in to their mobile distribution list, and then using Pocket-Promo they send out Bulk SMS Text Messages once they’ve accumulated a list of numbers to text. You can click here to see how restaurants (just as an example) are using Mobile Keywords and Bulk SMS Texting.
Here are just some of the powerful tools and easy to use features that Pocket-Promo offers businesses and organizations…
MOBILE KEYWORDS
Setup as many Mobile Keywords as you’d like in minutes. When people text your keyword it automatically opts their mobile number into your Pocket-Promo database. Automatic replies are texted back to people that text your Mobile Keyword, and you can customize and change this auto-responder text at any time.
 |
- Send the auto response message once per mobile number, every time the keyword is texted, or once per time frame (day, hour, week, or month). You can also send an Alternate Auto Response text message if someone has already texted your keyword before.
- People can text your Mobile Keyword followed by a message they want to send you. All of their messages will be captured in your Pocket-Promo Inbox or you can have them forwarded to an email or mobile phone of your choice.
- Automated and recurring messages can be sent to any new keyword signups. So if someone texts your Mobile Keyword you can setup an automatic text to be sent to them on day 1, day 5, day 30, day 100, etc.
- Have a notification texted to your mobile phone or emailed to you when somebody texts your keyword so you can follow up right away.
