Difference Between Group Texting Software & Apps

Many differences between group messaging software and group messaging applications (“apps”) make the software the ideal choice for businesses. These include faster text speeds, the lack of text limitations, and the ability to send to all phone types.

The best group text software providers utilize a Tier 1 SMS network, which provides a more secure connection. They should be willing to back this connection with an uptime guarantee in the service level agreement (SLA), preferably no less than 99.9%.

Group text software should also be free of text limitations, meaning that your business can send and receive an unlimited number of text messages each day. Building on this, there should also be no time-based limitations or lagging so your users can reach out anytime.

Another difference (and benefit) of group texting software versus an app is that you can connect to all phone users, regardless of whether they have a cell phone or smartphone. If they have a smartphone, it also won’t matter if they have an android or apple device.

Benefits of Sending Group Text Messages to Segmented Groups

The most effective communication campaigns send group texts to segmented users. These texts are tailored to each segmented group so users can derive as much value from the content as possible.

Imbuing your group message with value is key to forming long-term, sustainable, and profitable relationships with users. The issue is that value is subjective; content one user may appreciate might be useless to a different user. To mitigate this issue, businesses can split users into segmented groups according to their needs.

This allows businesses to cater to each group’s needs without alienating or annoying other groups. For example, consider a district school board. This board deals with local school administrators, parents of elementary-age children, and city employees. These are three distinct groups with very different communication needs. Information that is important for parents to know may not be relevant to city employees or vice versa.

Uses for SMS Group Texting

Business group text messaging is valid for (as the name implies) every type of business, including those in the educational, religious, political, profit, and non-profit sectors. Examples of potential group messages for each of the different sectors could be as follows:

  1. Schools - “Weather alert: flash flood warning issued for Chesapeake and Norfolk, effective 3:00 PM EST today; after-school activities are postponed for the remainder of the week.”
  2. Churches – “Worship is going virtual! Join us for our first-ever tele-worship event this Sunday at 1:00 PM, following our regularly scheduled in-person gathering at 9:00 AM.”
  3. Political Organizations – “Your Vote Matters! Studies show that younger voters are less likely to hear their voices at the polls. Don’t be a statistic! Register to vote today.”
  4. Retailers – “Savings trend: Beat the heat and save up to 50% on summer items like beach towels and coolers when you buy during December and January.”
  5. Non-profits – “We’re thankful for your support! This Thanksgiving, consider donating your gently-used coats and other outerwear to the women’s shelter. Find the nearest donation station by clicking here: https://donationstations.com.”

Of course, the list above certainly isn’t exhaustive and only covers five potential business case uses for group messaging. More sectors greatly benefit from group text messages, including hospitals, medical organizations, banks, other financial institutions, restaurants, grocery chains, and more.

Group messaging is an effective communication tool regardless of business size, socioeconomic status, geographic location, or target audience.
