Text messaging has become one of the most effective marketing channels. Let me show you how to send automated text messages with RoboTalker.
Start in the main dashboard and select 'New Text Campaign'. You'll need to compose your message first. SMS messages are limited to 160 characters, so be concise and clear.
Your message should include: your business name, the purpose, and a clear call to action. For example: 'Hi from Acme Shop! Your order #1234 has shipped. Track it here: bit.ly/track1234'
Next, select your recipient list. You can choose an existing contact group or upload a new list. Make sure all recipients have opted in to receive texts from you - this is required by law.
RoboTalker automatically filters out landlines and invalid numbers to save you money and ensure delivery.
You can send immediately or schedule for later. Consider your audience's timezone and when they're most likely to engage with texts.
For promotional texts, include an opt-out option like 'Reply STOP to unsubscribe'. RoboTalker handles opt-outs automatically.
After sending, check your campaign analytics. You'll see delivery rates, click-through rates if you included links, and response metrics.
Pro tip: Personalize messages with merge fields like first name or account number. Personalized texts get much higher engagement rates.
