technology has been around us for a long time,
isnt it? You know how effective it is when it
comes to targeting your possible customers.
While there are billions of internet users around
the world, you cant deny the fact that you have
a myriad of opportunities to acquire quality
leads through online platforms. Even many
businesses use this platform to its maximum
potential to look for their prospective customers
and connect. However an easy way to get them is
to first bring traffic to your site, get them to
fill your opt-in forms, and then reach out to
them through SMS messages. This way you can
build a long-lasting relationship with your
customers ending up at converting them. But the
point here to focus is how you can send the text
messages using your WordPress website. Through
our research what we have found is that
SendinBlue is the best application to send
multiple messages to multiple customers quickly.
Being one of the popular email marketing service
providers, this is software you can use to get in
touch with your possible customers and get them

We will know how to send messages through
SendinBlue in the next section of this blog.
Prior to that lets understand the real potential
of SMS messaging.
What Is SMS Messaging?
SMS is the short for Short Message Service that
people generally use to communicate with each
other in a quick manner. You can use this
technology to connect with your potential clients
and convince them to be your customer. This
messaging service is not only good for generating
more sales but making a good image of your brand
in the customer's mind that you care and value
them.
What made me a huge fan of the SMS messaging is
the fact that you can put your words before your
customers without even calling them. You can
simply use your device like a computer or laptop
to send a well-crafted text to your prospects
without feeling compelled to give them a ring.
Lets go deeper into the matter and see what
benefits does this SMS messaging service offers
Practically Useful
Nearly 85 of business owners have accepted that
they use SMS service to communicate with their
customers because its so easy to use.
Impacts Pretty Fast
Since the messages sent through this service are
short and concise, its more likely to be viewed
by the receiver as compared to emails or other
communication formats. This means once someone
receives a SMS hardly

they would want to wait for the free time to go
through the text, knowing that it will take just
a couple of seconds to read it.
Convenient To Read
The best thing about this messaging technology is
that it doesnt require receivers to divert
their attention from what they are doing. They
can easily check out the message while they are
doing something without feeling disturbed. This
is the reason that most people open their
messages within first five minutes.
Highly Effective
Businesses across the world using SMS messaging
service have reported that they have seen 6 to 8
times growth in user engagement after they used
this medium for communicating with their
customers. Let me tell you that their statistics
were way higher than what email marketing and
other communication mediums produce.
There is another way as well to encourage your
subscribers to keep coming back to your website.
All you need to do is provide them discounts on
next purchases when they buy something from your
site. To implement this idea on your site for
your new and current customers, contact with the
representative of our reputed Wordpress website
design company.
With that covered, lets come to the next topic
in this post
How SMS Messaging Can Benefit Online Businesses?
Here we have listed out some of the usage of SMS
messaging if you run an online business

Immediate confirmation when customers sign up on
your site
Remind them about the events that is about to
organize
Send notifications when you put out new content
on your site
Collect feedback from customers about your
product or service
Send alerts for any action they take on your site
such as purchase, or password change
And a fair few activities
So you can clearly make out from the above
information that SMS messaging is quite
advantageous if you constantly want to be in
touch with your customers.
Apart from this, if you want to generate more
sales you can also add social sharing buttons on
your product page so that your users can share
items with their friends and relatives. You
might not know how a simple act of promotion can
boost your sales and bring repeat customers on
your site. To deploy effective social sharing
buttons on your site, you can give a call to the
executive of our Los Angeles web design company.
Moving to the last topic in this content, lets
see how to use SendinBlue to send SMS messages
to the subscribers of your WordPress website.
How To Send SMS Through SendinBlue To Your
WordPress Subscribers
Step 1 Activate The SMS Messaging Feature
Before you do anything, first of all create a
SendinBlue account. Once you are done, you can
easily proceed ahead since it offers a free plan
to use the service. After you have entered the
application, go to your accounts dashboard and
then click on the () icon at the top of the page.

Just after that you need to look for SMS
Campaigns feature and turn it on. Step 2 Type
In The Mobile Number of Your Subscribers And
Purchase SMS Credits Next, add the mobile
numbers of your subscribers to your contact list.
Once its completed, you need to purchase SMS
credits to send messages in your network. Note
that when you will start sending the SMS messages
to your subscribers, your SMS credits will start
reducing by one for every message you
send. Further, you need to ensure that every
mobile number you entered has been successfully
added to your contact list by hitting the
Contacts tab in your SendinBlue account. Once
you are on the Contacts page, see if those
numbers are there under the SMS column. Take
note that you can obtain the mobile numbers of
your users through opt-in form on your site. To
create it, you can use the best WordPress opt-in
form plugin out there named Thrive Leads. Besides
this you also need to make sure that the person
you are planning to send an SMS message has
agreed to receive such messages. Once you are
done with the above tasks, you need to click on
the Get more credits link on the left sidebar to
buy SMS credits for sending messages. Here you
have to simply choose the number of credits that
you need and purchase it for the use. The point
here to take note of is that the SMS credits you
purchase arent activated instantly and it could
take up to 48 hours to get credited in your
account. That means you will have to keep a
little patience until you are able to send
messages to your subscribers.

Step 3 Create Your SMS Campaign To Connect With
Your Subscribers To do that you will need to,
hit that big and bold Create my first SMS
campaign button. Post this action, you will be
taken to a new page where you have to fill
several information such as Campaign name, SMS
message, SMS sender and lastly the time when you
want to send it. Here, a good thing is that you
can send someone a test message before the
actual message just to check everything is
functioning properly and looks the same as you
expected. Once you have done that, now you are
ready to send the actual message to the
subscribers you have added in your contact
list. Next, click on the Next Step and select
the contact list that contains the mobile
numbers of your subscribers. These are the people
who will be getting your SMS messages once you
send it from your SendinBlue application. One
feature that you can leverage here is include or
exclude the contacts to whom you want to send or
not send your SMS messages. This will save you
from wasting money on the subscribers who are
unlikely to open your message given that they
are not part of your email campaigns. Finally,
you have to review everything and then click on
the Schedule to send your SMS message instantly
or after a few moments. In case you want to send
your message now, scan the details once again
and just hit the continue button. Finally, your
messages will be sent to the
8
subscribers you want or queued for the delivery
depending on your scheduling. If you want to
know other inexpensive methods to connect to your
users, subscribers, or customers, simply have a
word with the accomplished marketers of our Los
Angeles web design company. They will guide you
through the whole process of quick customer
acquisition and help you grow your
company. Summary Up to this point, you have
learned how to send SMS messages to your
WordPress subscribers in a quite easy manner. It
is very important to stay in touch with your
subscribers who once visited your site, filled
your opt-in form and left. Doing this will help
you build a good relationship with them and
finally encourage them to be your customer.
Though email marketing plays a big role in
growing your traffic, conversions, and sales, SMS
messages are somewhat more effective than that.
This is because SMS messages are short, exact to
the point and often read by people in the first
few seconds after receiving. Do you have any
