Choosing URLs for Easy Payments and Case Reduction

The purpose of sending text messages varies as per the use cases. It could be marketing, educating customers, or serving them. So, the character limit of a text message can be a roadblock if an agent intends to send detailed information on a particular topic. This is because agents can embed detailed information in a single text, and agents have to use several SMS segments to send one long text message. This further leads to high SMS bills as the bill is calculated based on SMS segments used. So, this is where the use of URLs can turn to be a game-changer for your business.

Importance of URLs

Prudent use of URLs can help businesses to redefine marketing strategies and customer experiences. More importantly, users can steer clear of high SMS bills by limiting the SMS segments and convey desired information in just one or two text messages.

On the flipside, URLs are a robust tool to strengthen the brand presence and improve brand recall. Users can opt for custom branded links or branded domains to win the audience’s trust and make their brand recognizable. Thus, every time an individual sees a branded URL, the person can identify it immediately.
