Using Replies in your Bulk Text Marketing

You have a number of options when it comes to using replies in your bulk text marketing with Sendmode.  We know it can sometimes be a little confusing, so this short blog should explain all your options.

When sending your bulk text you may choose to send it as a ‘Repliable’ message. This means your bulk text will be allocated a random mobile number which facilitates the replies. The message will appear on customer’s phone as from this random mobile number. Unfortunately you cannot use the repliable AND a sender ID at the same time because of network restrictions. You can only choose one.

Using ‘Repliable’ does mean that your customers can quickly hit the ‘reply’ button on their mobile phone and send information back to you very easily. Their replies can then be viewed in the ‘Manage my Customer Replies’ section of your Sendmode account.

Keywords are short words that must be entered at the start of a reply to a message, followed by the required information and then sent to a specific shortcode. For example you could send out the following…
