Why Add Outbound SMS?

SMS is fast and everywhere
SMS is Fast and Everywhere

SMS is fast, efficient, and ubiquitous. Most consumers have access to a mobile device with text messaging. For many (like a majority of millennials) texting is the communication channel of choice. So why not interact with your customers where they are most comfortable?

Texts Get Noticed
Texts Get Noticed

Inbound SMS is a must today, but if you're not using outbound SMS in your customer support, loyalty and promotional efforts you're missing out. Recent statistics show that 98% of texts are opened and 90% are acted upon within three minutes. Imagine what that could mean for how you reach your customers and prospects.

SMS Proactive Alerts

Ensure the “Important Stuff” is Noticed via Proactive Alerts

You can’t count on customers seeing an email or answering a call, but they do read and interact with texts. Send outbound SMS notifications on a scheduled basis (like a pending renewal) or by a triggered event such as unusual account activity. Clients can respond to text alerts when it's most convenient and interact with a chatbot powered by Glia's AI Management, or with one of your operators to quickly process transactions or resolve issues.

Energize Your Marketing Campaigns with SMS

Prospects and customers often shy away from unsolicited calls. Intrusive forms that are acted upon AFTER the visitor has forgotten you aren’t any better. These channels can limit your campaign effectiveness. Sending a promotional text to a valued customer, or inviting pay-per-click prospects to text you while the offer is still relevant, can make the difference between mediocrity and success.

Alternative to please hold

Give Callers a Better Alternative to “Please Hold”

Nobody likes being stuck waiting to speak to a representative, but callbacks aren't always a practical solution. Phone-to-Text allows you to reduce friction and enhance the customer experience by giving callers the choice to opt-out in the IVR and seamlessly switch to SMS. Engagement can be automated by an intelligent Virtual Assistant or handled by your operators for the customized experience your clients desire.

Gateway to a Seamless Digital First Experience

Like every interaction within the Glia Digital First platform, your end-users can seamlessly switch from SMS to other channels like voice, video chat, and co-browsing without losing connection or context. Plus all interactions are securely tracked in the interaction database to ensure quality control and compliance.
