SMS Reminders
An SMS appointment reminder system helps you to set text reminders hours or days in advance, gently nudging your customers in the right direction. With a 98% open rate, customers appreciate text reminders for appointments, as they can quickly confirm, cancel, or reschedule if necessary.
With the number of distractions in today's age, it is easy for customers to forget about their appointments. Missed appointments lead to a loss of productivity and revenue, and it can be frustrating for you and your customers. SMS reminders help solve that problem.
The Value of SMS Reminder Messaging
SMS reminders are a cost-efficient, reliable way to ensure your communications get read. For only a few cents per message, you can make use of an automated system with high deliverability and read rates. Your clients and customers can be easily kept informed about order deliveries, appointments, reservations, and more.
With SMS, you have a low-pressure means of communication that doesn't require an immediate response like a phone call, and it has a much higher open rate than email. With 90% of SMS messages read three minutes after being sent, they are the best way to deliver reminders.
Automating SMS reminder messages is easy with our online SMS service. Use one of our existing direct or Zapier SMS integrations to connect Burst SMS with your other apps. Or, build your own with our flexible SMS API. Set up your automated reminder messages once and let our SMS software do the rest.
