In today’s fast-paced business world, reaching customers at the right time and place is crucial for success. Timing and precision are what truly make the difference. While there are many tools for distributing surveys to your target audience, the real challenge lies in choosing the most suitable channel for each audience segment, one that ensures the highest response rates to support fast, informed decisions.
This is where the SMS feature in BSure shines. It acts as a smart and powerful distribution tool that bridges the gap between you and your customer’s voice, allowing you to send surveys with speed, accuracy, and high engagement.
SMS: The Fastest Way to Gather Accurate Responses
SMS is an optional service from BSure, activated upon request as part of the Corporate Plan. It is one of the most successful methods of survey distribution due to its high open rate. Survey links are sent directly to customers after specific interactions; such as a purchase or an appointment, ensuring quick and effective responses compared to other channels like email.
Although electronic surveys hold rich insights, their true value only emerges once they are completed. That’s where the power of SMS comes in. According to SimpleTexting:
· 98% of SMS messages are opened.
· 90% are opened within the first 3 minutes.
· 42% is the average response rate to SMS surveys across industries.
These statistics make SMS the most powerful tool for fast and direct customer feedback, providing valuable data that drives accurate business decisions.
