How to text banking and loan SMS messages

It’s easy to get started with sending SMS loan & banking messages. Here’s how:

1.

Sign up for a text marketing platform

The average person receives 121 emails per day. It’s no wonder that your email marketing campaigns can get lost amongst the masses. Unlike emails, though, people don't receive as many texts in a day and are much more likely to view your content. In fact, 82% of text messages are read within five minutes.

2.

Upload a current list of contacts

Once you have your chosen platform and your plan is in place, you will need to upload your current contacts list to start sending out your targeted messages right away.

3.

Compile text templates

Begin creating text templates that will act as a generic message that you can edit as needed. For example, you can set up welcome text templates to send to any new prospect you receive and customize it with their name before sending each time.

4.

Set up a campaign keyword

Next, you'll need to choose a campaign keyword to get started with your SMS marketing efforts. A campaign keyword is the word or phrase your prospects use to opt-in to your SMS marketing list. Keep it short and sweet. You don’t want anyone misspelling or getting frustrated over intricate details.

5.

Promote your keyword

Now that you have established your campaign keyword, it’s time to start promoting across any communication channels you currently have set up.

6.

Send loan & banking texts

As you begin building your texting list, it’s time to start sending out your loan & banking texts.
