SMS services excel at streamlining that communication—audiences take an average of 90 seconds to respond to a text message versus 90 minutes for an email.

Implement the

Connection Icon Best SaaS SMS Solution

The SaaS industry faces unique marketing challenges and rewards. Common hurdles include needing to convert free users into premium customers, maximize customer retention and fine-tune your sales funnel to target one-time users as well as potential subscribers. SMS messaging can offer several specific benefits:

  • Retention:Texts have a 98% message open rate—and the user’s trusting your software to meet their needs increases the likelihood they’ll open your messages. It’s the perfect way to remind free users of the premium features available with your software.
  • Customer support:One of the pillars of pleasing SaaS customers is establishing your company as a one-stop technical solution. You can text customers to regularly remind them that your support team can be their first stop for troubleshooting.
  • Peak times:Your research has likely revealed the peak times for users to interact with your software. These days and times are the perfect opportunities to target users with texts asking them to convert to premium features when it’s easy, accessible and inviting.
