What Bulk Texting in Salesforce & 360 SMS does for Industry
Those of you familiar with texting’s early days will tell you how text has taken over completely compared to its humble beginnings. This alone should indicate the appetite for text-based communication across the world. With the least barriers to audience outreach, SMSes project themselves as an effective, efficient tool for business operations.
Texting has since, successfully managed to gain the trust of business personnel with a reputation for serving customer needs accurately. This is also owed to the fact that customers find more comfort and convenience in connecting through texting, than over a call.

Here a look at how bulk messaging helps some key verticals
Real Estate
- Handpick Recipients Faster,
- Gauge Interest early,
- Reduce Site-visits
Most often, businesses require bulk messaging to kick-off initial outreach to prospects.
While handling prospects, realtors may come to liaise with parties on all sides of a property deal, with differing concerns like selling, renting, or purchasing.
So, when you’re looking to send messages to prospects to inform them about properties available in their desired area (city or county), you need to filter your lists, weeding out those interested in selling or renting out their properties. To accommodate your need to send out bulk messages to specific target audiences, you can customize your list using filters and logics, and send texts through ListViews within minutes.
Education & Higher-ed
- Onboard,
- Circulate Urgent Announcements
Educational institutions are known for constantly communicating with students, parents, and staff. They’ll often need to connect with students of a specific class to circulate time-sensitive information like urgent meetings, class tests, etc. This is where bulk SMS through ListViews can help out with a customized list of students.
Apart from this, events and ceremonies have always been an integral part of the higher education experience. Venues, dates, and itineraries for these may also be pushed out to students & parents by the institution. Invitations are one place where you could reach audiences at scale with so much ease through SMS from Reports in 360 SMS.
E-commerce & Retail
- Introduce new Product Line-ups through Picture,
