What’s a conversation with a customer without giving them an opportunity to respond? Engage in a meaningful conversation with your customers by embracing the power of 2 Way SMS with GoFax.
2 Way SMS allows you to not only send messages out to your customers but also receive responses. It’s a powerful way to communicate and engage your audience where the information that is returned via SMS can help to automate responses across your entire business. Customer feedback and communication is the key to your success program, especially when you can reach them where they are most receptive to engage with personalized content that is useful, personal, and relevant. It’s no doubt that the biggest organizations in the world are thinking mobile first. It’s a computer, a phone, a bank card, a TV, a back scratcher, this miracle device is man’s best friend (for now) and if you want to reach your customers – mobile first needs to be the approach.
Transform business communication
Time and time again, businesses of all shapes and sizes are losing money down the drain by allowing opportunities to communicate with their audience by the wayside. Consider the scenario of healthcare providers struggling with appointment attendance and patient satisfaction. Often, the issue stems from impersonal communication and missed follow-ups. But with 2 Way SMS, the game changes. People need to be kept in the loop as well as needing an option to respond by making it a frictionless process. That being said, GoFax’s SMS service has 2 Way SMS capabilities allowing healthcare clients to send personalised appointment reminders allowing patients to reply with (Y) for yes, (N) for No, (R) for request call back.
Send 2 Way SMS reminders
You’d be surprised what a difference a reminder makes not only to attendance rates but also decreased loss of revenue. It may not seem like much, but when healthcare clients are losing potentially hundreds in missed appointments, it adds up pretty quickly. The SMS appointment reminder experience improved client reputation as patients felt their experience was much more personalised. From an organisational standpoint, it allowed the client to improve efficiencies in staff time and labour costs following up with patients in rescheduling and following-up.
