SMS reaches any mobile phone, with no internet or apps, and shows up on the screen straight away. With the SMS Center, you write the text once and every customer reads their own name.
Pick a sector to see a sample campaign. The SMS Center Library has over 100 templates like these, ready to adapt.
Announce offers, new products and holiday opening hours to customers who have bought from you.
Tip: Send it on Thursday or Friday, before weekend shopping.
Promote health campaigns, free screening days and opening hours.
Tip: Messages that help customers stay healthy are the best received.
Introduce new classes, remind members when fees are due and win back those who stopped coming.
Tip: Create a group of members who haven't come in for a month and send them an exclusive offer.
Share the dish of the day, theme nights and birthday offers.
Tip: Schedule it for late morning, when customers think about lunch.
Write the message once, with a tag where the name goes. When it is sent, the SMS Center replaces each tag with the contact's details. Try it here.

The most frequent questions about SMS campaigns
Each list holds up to 5,000 numbers. To reach more people, split your contacts into groups and send a campaign to each group. Before you confirm, the page shows how many credits the campaign will use.
Type {$contact_first_name} for the first name, {$contact_name} for the full name or {$contact_company} for the company. When the message is sent, each tag is replaced with the details of the contact who receives it.
No. Named senders, including NETMSG, cannot receive replies. Include a phone number, an email or your website address in the message so customers can get in touch.
Every account can send with the free NETMSG sender. For customers to see your company name, request a Sender ID: it costs ₦75.000,00 per name and per country, and the review takes up to 48 business hours. See how to request one on the Business SMS page.
In the SMS Center, import a CSV file with the number and, optionally, the name and company of each contact. You can also paste numbers by hand and organise contacts into groups. The list can be exported as CSV whenever you need it.
Yes. Prepare the campaign and choose the day and time the messages should go out. That way you can get everything ready at night and send during business hours.
Put the number on the account's opt-out list, through the SMS API or by asking our support team, and it is left out of every send. In the message, always say how customers can ask to stop receiving messages.
Each SMS part uses one credit, from ₦13,75. A message of up to 160 characters is one part; with letters such as ã or ç, one part holds up to 70 (67 each when split). Credits are not sold in bundles: the price goes down with the quantity you buy.
