  • Fast to send out – if time is limited, a simple text message is a powerful way of communication.
  • Short and sharp – focus on key points to get your message across.
  • Quick responses – SMS works well when a quick direct response is needed: “Call us if you can’t make tomorrow’s appointment”.
  • Last minute – for cancellations, alerts or changes to an event, flight or service appointment, SMS messages are ideal for getting a quick informational message across to your customers.

  • If the customer prefers SMS as a form of business communication.
  • Set up respond forward SMS rule when the customer doesn’t respond to an email.
  • The business needs the customer to see the message quickly.
