Interactive Messaging

If you wanted to send out an SMS campaign or to compile a list of contacts for marketing purposes you could use our free textback service.

This textback service operates on a keyword basis via our shared memorable number. This means that the client must begin their message to you with a pre chosen 'keyword' - a memorable word they provide so we can identify and route the message to you.

Although the textback service is free, you would need to have an aql® account, and the SMS Credits required to perform any sends you do.

An example...

If you wanted to start a marketing campaign and manage responses via SMS:
You could include a line in your advertisement (or in your text message if you were marketing by SMS) "For more information on our services, please text 01138 59 06 90 with the keyword 'info', we will then add you to our database"

How does it work?

You would log on to your aql® account (if you haven't got one, you would need to sign up). Once you've logged on/signed up, you would click on "textback". Under this heading you can then reserve your keywords (subject to availability). Once you have your keyword(s), you can start your campaign. Any text message sent to 01138 59 06 90 with your keyword at the start of the message will be forwarded to you by email and also stored on our database so you can download them at a later date.

Custom Text-back service (a chargeable service)

We have always been flexible and responsive in our approach to web development, as such we can offer individual solutions. For high volume marketing and interactive services, we can develop your own text-back gateway, allowing your clients to text back to your own number. We can then either archive this information via a database or perform realtime processing of the data such as filling in applications or booking tickets.
