Typical use case can be someone's running an existing campaign (ads, billboard, referrals) and we add a dedicated texting number as the 24/7/multilingual layer on top. No new spend, just coverage after hours or in Spanish etc. Can also serve as the primary feature of a new campaign, admittedly a novel approach but I see there being potential to provide a new channel to reach users where they already are (sms) in extremely saturated markets.
I work mainly with law firms, there are some potential examples on my website if you're curious: https://fractional-engineer.com/sms-intake https://fractional-engineer.com/sms-intake.
Happy to chat more.
- jasondigitized 2mo agoThe trickest part of this, and maybe you have solved this is procuring phone numbers for clients. Twilio has put up a TON of friction on getting SMS numbers. I know this because we are doing this on behalf of some very large institutions. Love the idea though!
- elpakal 2mo agoThanks! Curious what kind of friction you’ve encountered. In my experience buying phone numbers is not hard, finding vanity phone numbers (especially in certain area codes) is because it requires keeping an eye on their rolling availability. I’ve set up a few 10DLC campaigns as well, it’s a little finicky and takes time but something I can do pretty predictably.
- agentifysh 2mo agodo you have any tips on getting 10DLC when you dont live in America? seems like using any virtual office is impossible they require an actual physical address /office
- elpakal 2mo agoAh, I do not unfortunately, except maybe exploring a partnership with someone based in the US (not sure though).
