Overview
Our client runs a marketing agency that helps companies strengthen their marketing tactics and reach their targeted audience. The company majorly focuses on SMS as a marketing channel, considering its high open rates. However, the company was facing cost issues as they opted for SMS credits; they were not able to employ them totally. This process impacted the company’s overall cost and profitability.
Challenges
Managing the high cost of SMS service has become a cumbersome task for the marketing agency. Here we have listed a few notable challenges; take a quick look:
- High Upfront Costs for SMS Credits: The necessity to acquire SMS credits in bulk resulted in considerable initial costs. The variable nature of campaign requirements resulted in incomplete utilization of these credits, causing budgetary waste and diminishing cost efficiency.
- Outbound Messaging Limits: Every third-party vendor that offers SMS services sets a limit on outbound messaging. Due to this issue, it requires additional handling and run-time execution by agents.
- Inefficiency in Scaling Campaigns: The client's efforts to reach more people were limited by the limits of the standard prepaid method, which made it harder for campaigns to be scaled up and down quickly. The need for big original investments made it harder to be flexible, which made it harder to meet the changing needs of their growing audience.
- Limited Visibility into SMS Expenses: The lack of visibility into SMS expenses made the process difficult for the client to manage their budget effectively. Without transparency into expenses, it was hard to align SMS usage with real-time campaign demands, leading to overspending or wasted resources.
