Enhance Your SMS Campaign with Custom Sender IDs

Sending bulk SMS with a Custom Sender ID is an effective way in which to develop and enhance your brand identity with your SMS Marketing. Not only that, but it further increases your SMS open rates and reduces the time that it takes for your audience to engage with your SMS and take the desired action.

What is a Custom Sender ID?

A custom sender ID is the personalised name or number that turns your SMS into a powerful brand tool. It is displayed as the sender of the SMS when a user opens their inbox and is much more successful at driving engagement compared to a random number.

When users see a message sent by a brand from which they want to hear from, they are more likely to open the SMS and start engaging with the message. This means that it is the perfect solution if you are looking to increase engagement with your audience.

They are used by brands for instant recognition and are a powerful tool to use as part of your SMS Marketing strategy.

Use Letters & Numbers

Sender IDs provide flexibility in terms of choosing how you display the sender of the message but there are certain criteria that you need to follow:

A sender ID has a character limit of 11.
It is possible to use a combination of both letters (A-Z) and numbers (0-9); it is also possible to use upper and lowercase character too
The character must be part of the GSM Basic Character Set.
