Why SMS Is Still the Best Way to Contact Customers

Written by Raquel A. | Jan 10, 2025 3:18:40 PM

SMS continues to be one of the most effective communication channels, with 90% of messages opened within just 3 minutes. This incredible engagement rate makes SMS a powerful tool for businesses looking to connect with their customers.

However, successful SMS campaigns depend on key factors such as high delivery rates, minimal spam, and a well-targeted audience. While analyzing your customer base is vital (and something USMatrix can’t help you with), we can guide you on what to look for when choosing an SMS provider.

Here are three steps to choose the right SMS Provider:

1. Technology

The right provider must meet the core IT requirements of speed, security, and stability to ensure a seamless SMS operation.

  • Ease of Integration: Choose a provider that offers APIs or SMPP connections that integrate effortlessly with your existing systems. Confirm whether you’ll need IT support to set up the integration.
  • Efficient Routes: Ensure the provider uses direct routes that comply with local regulations, guaranteeing reliability and compliance.
  • Analytics Access: Look for tools that provide detailed reports on delivery success rates and error tracking. This data helps optimize future campaigns.

2. Experience in the Telecommunications Sector

The success of your SMS campaigns depends on the provider’s ability to ensure message delivery. Factors such as cybersecurity, compliance with personal data protection laws, and privacy policies are critical for protecting your business and customers.
