Win More Leads and Improve Customer Care With SOCi SmartBot for SMS

 

Efficient and effective communication is something every consumer would appreciate about companies they do business with. In today’s digital-first world, consumers expect communication to be faster than ever before. This is where chatbots come in. Empowered by artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots initiate personalized conversations, build brand trust, acquire more leads, close more deals, and get more precise customer feedback. 

 

While chatbots are a great way to connect with consumers, wouldn’t it be great to be able to connect with consumers with a device they have with them 24/7? Consumers always have their phones and never leave the house without them. A chatbot that can communicate through SMS is the newest way to communicate with customers more efficiently than ever before.    

 

Introducing SOCi SmartBot for SMS 

 

Last year, SOCi released SOCi SmartBot, the first chatbot built specifically for multi-location marketers for  Facebook messages, Google My Business messages, and websites, but that was just the beginning! 

 

We’re excited to announce that SOCi SmartBot now supports SMS.  The SOCi SmartBot SMS feature will empower consumers to text businesses through an auto-generated SMS number and receive 24/7 customer support. The new feature will also be an additional way for businesses to use the tool to capture leads. If consumers aren’t leveraging Facebook or GMB today, your business can still conveniently connect with them any time and any place via text messaging directly on their mobile phones. If multi-location businesses aren’t already convinced that SOCi SmartBot is the best chatbot option for multi-location marketers, this new feature changes the game. 

 

Benefits of the SOCi SmartBot With SMS

 

SOCi SmartBot SMS texting changes the game by  allowing you to reach your target audiences more conveniently and in more places, but there are additional value-added benefits For instance, SOCi SmartBot with SMS allows your multi-location business to: 

  • Reduce the amount of time consumers spend looking for answers to questions they may have about your business. Instead of emailing and waiting for a response, they can get their answer almost instantly through SMS. 
  • Never miss a lead. Even when your multi-location business is closed, texting through SOCi SmartBot SMS is always open, ensuring that your business won’t miss a potential customer. 
  • Personalize your interactions with prospects and customers. With SOCi SmartBot SMS texting, customers have your business at their fingertips. This allows you to be more personal in your communications and interact with them, so your business stays top of mind and ultimately wins more sales.
