SMS Marketing

With just 160 characters, you can grab the attention of your customers or employees, right when you need them. While WhatsApp, email, and the telephone will always be effective media for communicating with customers and partners, SMS is still very relevant.

SMS messages allow you to convey targetted, timely, compelling, and easy to understand information to your customers, employees, and partners.

Need convincing? Here are some impressive stats about the power of SMS:

• 83% of consumers open SMS messages within 90 seconds of receipt.
• 75% of consumers prefer SMS communications for deliveries, promotions, and surveys.
• In-store and on-demand coupons see a redemption rate of 70% to 80%.
• SMS messages produce engagement rates 6 to 8 times higher than email marketing.

Kalahari provides a custom solution (KdMessaging) for SMS Marketing. With our solution, you can upload all your SMS-enabled telephone numbers, create messages, and broadcast the messages to recipients on your list. You can embed a link in your message that would allow you to measure the response or success rate of your SMS campaign. KdMessaging leverages AWS SNS in the back-end, allowing it to send SMS messages worldwide and at super-fast delivery rates. Subscribers can opt-out by simply replying to messages from your company, allowing you to respect your customer's privacy.

To use KdMessaging, we'd set up an account for you on our hosted platform, and charge you a monthly fee based on the size of your SMS contact list (see options below). You'd also be billed for SMS charges according to AWS' current global rate schedule.
