SMS subscription at your website
Imagine that you have a shop and you wish to inform your regular customers on the new offer or discount. The phone calls are difficult and time-consuming, the e-mails are annoying and ineffective... Yes, you decide to send bulk SMS to them, that is, to start a small SMS marketing campaign. You are connecting the mobile phone to the computer, install the necessary software and... you need the list of customers' phone numbers.
If your shop is located in the hypermarket, then a possible way to fulfill the subscription list is the distribution of discount cards. The customer fills the form, gives his mobile phone number and claims his agreement to receive promotional SMS.
What can you do if your shop is located in the web? The best way to collect the phone numbers is to place a small form at the website. The customer types the mobile phone number in the form and submits it - he is ready to receive SMS about new offers.
Our company has developed the SMS engine which will help you to install this service. You will need a Windows-based SMS distribution server, a web server (possibly hosted elsewhere), a GSM modem and Headwind GSM Modem Driver. The service will work as follows:
- The visitor of your website enters his mobile phone number in the form, sets the checkbox "I confirm that this is my mobile phone number and I agree to receive SMS" and submits the form;
- The mobile phone is saved on the web server in the database as a part of the subscription list;
- When you are ready to promote a new offer, your manager retrieves the subscription list from the database and sends bulk SMS over this list through Headwind GSM Modem Driver;
- The subscriber receives a promotional SMS on his handset; he can send a reply via SMS or make a voice call to the same mobile phone number (this feature is possible only in a GSM modem-based servers).
