SMS marketing in New CaledoniaAn offer with their name on it, and a reason to drop by.
Since 2016, we have been sending campaigns for New Caledonian businesses: under your name, at the right moment, with clicks you can watch come in.
An adviser in Nouméa calls you back and walks you through a campaign built on your own case: your contacts, your offer, your calendar.

Your name, their name
Every customer reads a message that speaks to them, signed with the name of your business.
Two versions, the best one wins
Test two messages on part of the group: the winner goes out to everyone else.
On your business hours
The campaign is spread over the days and hours you choose.
Clicks in plain sight
By day, by hour, by device: you can see whether the offer landed.
160characters to make them want it.
Your business name up front, the customer's first name, a link to the offer and your opt-out link. The counter measures the message exactly as it will go out, longest first name included. Characters that would make it longer are simplified before sending.

Two messages on the starting line. The winner goes to everyone else.
Write two versions of the same offer: each one goes to part of your group, then the better one goes out to the rest. Change one thing at a time, and you will know exactly what made the difference.
Pick what you want to test, and watch the race.
Just one difference: the customer's first name.
Illustration, fictitious figures.
A campaign that breathes, within your opening hours.
Spread sending over several days, within a time window, skipping a public holiday or a stocktake. Your team welcomes customers as they come, not all on the same morning. Pause, resume or cancel from the sends in progress screen.
By the next morning, you know whether the offer hit the mark.
Each short link counts its clicks by day and by hour, the devices and the unique visitors. Link preview bots are left out of the count. You get numbers, never names.
To follow through to the sale, a pixel on your page or a webhook from your online store measures conversions.
On their birthday, the SMS sends itself.
A date in your contacts triggers the message: a birthday, a due date, a loyalty card to renew. To grow your list, a QR code at the till lets customers sign up themselves, confirmed by SMS.

What a marketing SMS needs.
People should know who is writing, be able to stop receiving, and have said yes in the first place.
Your name first
It removes any doubt from the very first word. Nobody can reply to a name, so give a number or a link.
A simple STOP
Your opt-out link at the end of the message, confirmed by a code. See how STOP opt-out works.
Consent comes first
For a promotion sent to an individual, getting their consent first is the safest practice.

Your questions, answered.
Do customers need to agree before I send them a promotion?
For a promotion sent to an individual, getting their consent first is the safest practice. Sign-up by QR code, confirmed by SMS, lets customers give that consent themselves. A service message with no promotion, such as an order being ready, is not marketing.
How do my customers unsubscribe?
Through your organisation's opt-out link, which you add to your marketing SMS. The customer enters their number and confirms with a code sent by SMS. Their number is then excluded from every send by your organisation, including a campaign that is already scheduled or being spread out.
Can I see how many people clicked?
Yes. Each short link counts its clicks by day and by hour, the devices used and the number of unique visitors. These are numbers: SMS PRO tells you how many people clicked, not who they are.
Can a campaign go out over several days?
Yes. Spread sending distributes the campaign over the period you choose, within a daily time window, on the days you pick, leaving out any dates you exclude. You can pause, resume or cancel it from the sends in progress screen.
Are clicks from bots counted?
No. The bots that build link previews in messaging apps are left out of the count: a preview generated automatically is not counted as a click.
