Mass Texting: Scale Up Your Messages

Texting is great for connecting with customers and you’re ready to ramp up those efforts. But it’s important you get these three things right before you do.

1. Register Your Number

10DLC stands for 10-digit long code number.

It's a standard phone number, like (423) 218-0111. Register that number with mobile carriers, so they:

Know your business is legit
Give you higher delivery rates

That’s good for both you and your customers.

We’ve made it super simple to register. Just have your account Admin go to the 10DLC menu to start the process.

2. Only Text Opt-ins

Opt-ins are contacts who give you their phone number.

Text people who want to be texted by you. That’s how you get the best ROI and play nice with carriers.

Everyone wins this way!

3. Pace Your Ramp Up

Focus on quality over quantity starting out.

Staggering your messages when you first start text messaging not only helps you learn what does and doesn’t work on a small scale—it also keeps you from standing out to carriers.

Figure out what contacts are engaging with, and prove to carriers that you’re sending quality messages before going big.
