How mobile short codes works
Mobile short codes are easy to use. Businesses can lease a shared short code and choose a unique keyword for their campaign.
To connect with a business, customers just text the keyword to the short code. For example, if a clothing store offers updates on sales, a customer might text “SALE” to the store’s short code (51444). The business then automatically replies with the latest promotions or information.
Measuring the success of mobile short code campaigns
Measuring the success of your mobile short code campaigns is essential for optimising your marketing efforts and achieving your goals. Here are some key metrics to consider:
Response rate
Monitor percentage of customers who respond to your mobile short code campaigns. A high response rate indicates strong customer engagement and interest in your offers or information. Combine this with A/B testing to optimise your marketing efforts.
conversion rates
Track the percentage of customers who take the desired action after engaging with your mobile short code campaigns. This could be making a purchase, signing up for a newsletter, or visiting your website.
return on investment
Calculate the ROI of your mobile short code campaigns by comparing the cost of implementing the campaigns to the revenue generated as a result. This will help you assess the profitability and effectiveness of your campaigns.
customer satisfaction
Gather feedback from customers who have interacted with your mobile short code campaigns. Conduct surveys or monitor online reviews to gauge customer satisfaction and identify areas for improvement.
By regularly analysing these metrics, you can gain valuable insights into the performance of your mobile short code campaigns in Ireland and make data-driven decisions to improve your future campaigns.
Understanding the Different Types of Mobile Short Codes
Standard Rate
With standard rate short codes, the person sending the text is charged the normal texting fee based on their mobile plan. There are no extra charges—just the regular cost they already pay to their mobile provider for sending a text.
Free to Text
Free rate short codes allow people to text your short code without paying anything. The sender isn’t charged, no matter what mobile provider they use—making it easy and risk-free for customers to engage with your business.
Premium Rate
Premium rate short codes charge the sender a higher fee per text, often used for things like TV voting, contests, or paid content. The cost varies by campaign and is billed to the sender’s mobile account.
Please Note: We no longer offer premium rate short codes as part of our services.
