illustration: DALL-ECompanies implementing SMS and MMS message automation gain one of the most effective tools for direct customer contact. As noted by authors of the analysis from the mProfi platform, SMS messages have very high open rates and prompt responses. They work well for informing customers about promotions, updates, order status, or offer changes.
With automation, companies can:
- segment their audience and personalize content,
- plan campaigns in advance,
- integrate messages with the CRM database,
- analyze campaign performance almost in real time.
Compared to emails, SMS messages are faster and more effective. They help maintain contact with the customer at exactly the right moment – without needing to check a mailbox. This tool is especially valuable in industries like retail, food service, logistics, or local services.
It’s important that content is not random. As emphasized in the mProfi guide, messages must fit the context, the customer’s situation, and their past interactions with the company. Only then do they bring measurable results.
Customer feedback? Best right after purchase
Another key aspect of effective mobile communication is the ability to instantly collect customer feedback. The mProfi analysis highlights that SMS messages and mobile apps allow companies to run surveys and satisfaction checks right after a purchase or service.
This approach has several benefits:
- enables quick problem identification,
- helps better understand customer expectations,
- boosts audience engagement,
- provides data for business decision-making.
Collecting “hot” feedback significantly improves customer service quality. A company`s response to dissatisfaction can happen almost immediately – thanks to automatic routing of reports to the right department. For example, restaurant chains send short surveys to customers after a visit, asking about service quality and food taste. This lets managers know what’s happening on the floor, even if they’re not behind the bar.
As the authors note, more and more companies are adopting ready-made solutions for handling such surveys, which greatly simplifies the process and allows real-time performance tracking.
Systems must work together
One often overlooked but crucial challenge is integrating mobile communication with other business systems. CRM, e-commerce, ERP – all of these tools should work with platforms for messages, surveys, or notifications. Only full integration allows:
| Process | Benefit for the company |
|---|---|
| Automated SMS campaigns | Time savings and message accuracy |
| Customer data from CRM | Personalization and better content matching |
| ERP integration | Notifications on availability and order status |
| Synchronization with e-commerce | Fast updates on promotions or discounts |
Without integration, companies risk data duplication, information chaos, and low marketing effectiveness. A unified platform allows analysis of the entire customer journey – from first contact, through purchase, to satisfaction review.
Experts from mProfi emphasize that data gathered at different customer touchpoints is what enables good decisions. But without integration, this data stays scattered and hard to use.
Law, privacy, and personalization
Are there risks in mobile communication? Yes. Especially in terms of personal data protection and compliance with regulations like GDPR. For a company, this means full transparency – the customer must know who, when, and why is sending them a message.
The main challenges outlined in the mProfi guide include:
- ensuring legal compliance,
- creating clear, audience-appropriate messages,
- making consent management easy,
- securing data against breaches.
Content personalization for different audience groups is also important. It’s not just about using someone’s name. It’s mainly about relevance – tailoring offers to the customer’s age, lifestyle, purchase history, or location. Investing in data analysis and dynamic audience segmentation leads to noticeable increases in engagement and campaign success.
