Sending an Opt-In SMS
Often businesses re consider their targeting to a precise set of audience who are interested in their products and services, familiarly called as “Subscribers”. Remarketing to subscribers is a top-notch priority to the new age businesses. Through our messaging platform, you can exclusively target the subscriber list through Opt in SMS.
Once your Opt-in Keyword and Opt-in group are created, you can send Opt-in SMS to the numbers in your group. You can access the Opt-in SMS panel by clicking on the Send SMS dropdown and choosing Opt-in SMS.
