You have sent an email to a customer. But, there has been no response. You wait. You send another email. Still, you get no response. You have no idea if this person has seen the email or not. You don’t want to call for a number of reasons. One important reason is you have sent critical information as a link in the email. The customer must click on the link to see the information. So, what do you do next?
Solution to No Response From Email
Use SMS to send the email. You will be able to get your message immediate attention without being sent to a SPAM email folder or lost in the myriad of unimportant emails that this person gets every day. But, how do you do that?
Use Link In SMS. You send formatted information just like you would use email, but you are using SMS.
Link In SMS can send links, rich content, and everything that can be sent using email. All you have to do is just make TO field of the email use the person’s phone number. An example would be something like this: 5551231234@linkinsms.message-service.org.
