Bulk SMS services allow your business to reallocate resources, focusing less on the mechanics of sending the messages and more on the essential parts, like how to best connect with your customers.
What is Bulk SMS?
Bulk SMS refers to sending text messages in groups instead of individually. These groups contain thousands of text messages, each with a specific recipient. The recipients are all subscribers who have agreed to receive messages from businesses.
This is a critical component of any SMS messaging, including bulk SMS. Businesses must receive consent from consumers before adding them to contact lists and sending out messages. Failure to do so will result in fines from regulatory agencies and a potential suspension with your bulk SMS service provider.

How to Send Bulk SMS Messages
The specific way your business can send bulk messages will depend on your service provider. Each provider’s software or service may differ slightly. However, each will follow the same basic steps outlined below:
1. Integrate your new SMS API with the help of a developer or programmer. Typically, this takes only a few hours; you can begin sending bulk SMS campaigns within the same day.
2. Upload your contact lists with subscribers who have given your business permission to send them messages. Split the contact lists according to demographics or other campaign groupings.
3. Craft your bulk SMS message according to the needs of your business and the group to which you plan to send the message. The message should be short but have an actionable command.
4. Select the specific users you want your latest campaign to send to. This should be a targeted audience so that the message is as effective as possible, with the highest return on investment.
5. Schedule your campaign to send either immediately or at a future date and time. Like the audience, the time should be targeted to elicit as much response as possible.
6. Review your reports in real-time, along with campaign analytics, to see how your messages are performing. This will help you create even more effective campaigns in the future.
To see how this process might work before signing up with a bulk SMS provider, ask providers to see a demo. You could also sign up for a free trial or ask about testing credits if offered.
