What is A Keyword?
Keywords are your unique SMS identity. They are the words that your customers will use to identify the service you are offering. The scope of keywords is limitless. When choosing a keyword remember that when customers require a service, be it subscribing to your information offering or trying their hand at competitions you are running, they would prefer sending as short an SMS as possible. So, plan your keywords with this information in mind

Why use a keyword in your marketing?

• More memorable than general long phone numbers and website names
• Provide great brand experience
• Raise or maintain brand awareness

The response from your Long code number is almost immediate. Your marketing budget benefits around the clock, engaging directly with the consumer - not missing the moment!
