An underrated advantage of SMS in business communication is having info on demand. This means people can request real-time information about the business through text. The information can be about anything regarding your products, services, etc. Both staff and customers can use this feature to get the info they need. And because this is text, they get their info quickly. In a fast-paced world, people’s demand for receiving information quickly needs to be sated. Text is an ideal tool for these times.
This feature can work like an auto-responder, which saves time and effort. The sender just needs to text the assigned keywords to get instant feedback. SMS platforms like ZERIX Text empowers clients to automate messages and replies. This is achieved by auto retrieving dynamic info from your database.
