This is an ideal broadcasting technology to communicate via mobile phones since it is one of the fastest growing means of global wireless information exchange. Nowadays, mobile phones (or cell phones) have become an inseparable thing, particular for young people.

Bulk SMS Messaging volumes – When is Bulk SMS actually Bulk SMS?
November 16th, 2009Bulk SMS messaging enquiries from companies large and small are a regular thing here at Esendex. After checking they don’t want to send spam (!) and confirming which service they want to use to send SMS – Web, Email etc, the question then comes round to SMS volume.
“How many SMS messages do you expect to send?”, “About 5000” is the reply. “ 5000 a day?” “No per month” is the answer. Ah, so it isn’t Bulk SMS after all…..
This is a regular scenario, and understandably so. After all, customers want to send SMS as cheaply as possible, and Bulk SMS users get the lowest prices as they benefit from economies of scale. But at what monthly SMS volume does Bulk SMS start?
Well our Bulk SMS pricing starts at the 50,000 SMS mark (whether that’s as a one off, or regularly) which is in line with the industry. It’s interesting that the customer perception of what volumes constitute Bulk SMS can be so different from what the industry is saying. This could be down to a customer feeling that sending 200 SMS messages in one go is a lot for them – when actually there are other companies out there sending thousands every day.
Bulk SMS messaging users do have different needs from their SMS provider compared to lower volume users. Bulk SMS customers need to ensure their SMS provider’s gateway is up to it, and can deliver high volumes quickly in one go. Multiple direct network connections will ensure SMS messages are delivered fast, and if there is a problem with one network, the SMS provider can switch over to an alternative network easily without any loss of service.
If a Web interface is chosen to send Bulk SMS, the application needs to be intuitive enough to handle a bulk upload of addresses and potentially multiple messages easily, without fuss. Here at Esendex, I’m happy to say, we meet these requirements!
Is Bulk SMS the new Bulk Email?
November 16th, 2009The time has come for bulk SMS to take its place as the new mass communication medium of choice. Bulk email was once the most cost-effective and convenient electronic media for asynchronous communication with customers and interest groups. But email has become a victim of its own success – largely because it’s free to send and receive and non-invasive, inbox clutter and spam are rendering it increasingly ineffective.
In the early days, email open rates in the double-digits were expected because email messages were text only, which meant that the quality of the message was crucial to driving a response. However, with up to 85% of all of today’s email comprising flashy, unsolicited spam (including the more recent and dangerous phishing scams), it’s becoming very difficult for the small business owner or marketing professional to use email as a reliable way to get a relevant message through to a customer or opt-in list subscriber.
Bulk SMS is arguably now where bulk email was in the late 1980s, and is on a very steep trajectory to becoming THE non-voice, one-to-one electronic communication channel. It has become the de facto inter-carrier non-voice mobile messaging standard for GSM and CDMA networks all over the world. Characterized by high message open rates, it self-regulates ‘list fatigue’ through a message sending cost, and limits spam as stringent WASP rules are applied by networks in order to maintain a good user experience on the destination network.
It’s understandable that it took so long for bulk SMS to stand up and be counted amongst the new new media increasingly dominated by social networking. Bulk SMS carries the unfortunate connotations of a technology used in an unintended way (it was originally supposed to be used for messages from the networks to the subscribers), and made popular by an unlikely customer segment, the tweens.
The biggest concerns with bulk SMS as a real alternative to bulk email are: first, the belief that SMS is still text only, whereas email clients and the SMTP protocol are already fully richer HTML-compliant, and second, that the 160 character limit in an SMS reduces messaging space.
Fortunately, an increasing number of handsets are enabling SMS to make this move from a simple text messaging service to a next generation communication medium, which enables a richer experience through of the ability to insert clickable links into an SMS message, using SMS gateway WAP Push features. Enabling these click-throughs means that a more powerful HTML experience can be created on a WAP page with little deterioration in the user experience. This is a consequence of current generation ‘light’ mobile XHTML and faster 3G wireless broadband data transfer speeds.
With hindsight, the SMS character limit is also not a constraint. The Twitter craze has taught us that everyone’s ready for messaging with a little more zing and a little less zang. I had another read through a recent promotional email and although the message was to the point, I realized that the reason that we used more than 140 characters for the message in that email, was not that we had to, it was that we could. What we need to say, we should be able to say in less than 140 characters, or else we probably shouldn’t be saying it in the first place. The times have changed; we should move on.
Notwithstanding the various ways above in which bulk SMS and bulk email could trade blows, bulk SMS really stands head and shoulders above its counterpart when it comes to time sensitive and location-specific messaging. Sending a time-sensitive email when you’re not expecting it or not at your computer is pointless, whereas as cellular phones have the ability to reach anyone, anywhere and at anytime.
Most exciting though are the next generation applications of bulk SMS that will use handset location-aware capabilities gained from network triangulation and GPS, so that contextually relevant SMS messages can be sent at a time when they are most pertinent and most likely to encourage further interaction. Email cannot even dream of that capability.
We’ve hardly scratched the surface of what bulk SMS is capable of and there’s never been a better time than now for a business to be amongst the early adopters that make the transition from bulk email to bulk SMS as its opt-in list communication medium of choice.

Bulk SMS: The New Age Marketing Mantra
July 9th, 2009Looking for a new way to market your business? Want to reach your customers in a flash? Then, why don’t you send bulk sms to them. Bulk sms are the sms which are sent with the help of a computer. These are also known as the internet sms as they are sent via internet instead of a cell phone. These sms are sent to a large number of people at once.
Many companies are using this technology to improve their customer base and provide better customer care services to their clients and customers. Many companies in telecom, banking, insurance, food, textile, retail etc. are using bulk sms to inform their customers about their company.
The popularity of bulk sms in India is the result of a huge growth in its mobile telecom sector. As the rates of cell-phone handsets go down along with the tariff rates of telecoms companies, a large part of the population can afford to own mobile phones in the country. Thus, reaching the customers through their mobile phones is nothing but an obvious choice.
The best part about bulk sms is that it reaches directly to the customers and companies can be sure that their message will be read by their customers as and when they want. Advertisements in newspapers, television and other types of media don’t guarantee this. Companies can send sms to communicate some important information about their existing customer base. These sms can include a bill payment reminder, information about new offers, new product and services launched and many other things. Companies also use these sms to build better relationship with their customers. They send holiday greeting and birthday wishes through such sms.
Apart from the existing customers, companies also use bulk sms to market their products and services to prospective customers. This helps them reach out to a whole new range of customers. Companies can send promotional messages to a large number of people through this service.
Bulk sms has become extremely popular in the last few years as it has made the job of entrepreneurs very easy. Before this technology, even the thought of sending sms to a large number of people was impossible. Sending mobile sms to huge number of people at once is not only extremely time consuming but extremely expensive also.
Sending bulk sms is quite easy as all you have to do is to purchase the subscription of this service from a reputed bulk sms provider. Most providers sell subscriptions for a particular number of bulk sms that you can send in certain amount of time. This technology doesn’t require you to buy any new hardware or software. You don’t even need a SIM card or handset to send these messages. All you need is a computer and internet connection.
