TextP2P allows you insert personalized fields like the person’s first name or other custom fields to make each person feel like you are sending a text message only to them.

How Do We Do Mass Text Marketing?
With TextP2P your text messages are sent from a local area code 7 digit number, and not a 5 digit short code which people immediately know it’s a mass text. Also more and more carriers now block 5 digit short codes.
TextP2P also supports MMS messages, so you can send pictures, videos, audio files, etc. along with up to 1600 characters in a single text message! This is the best way to get your message to your customers so you are not limited to only 160 characters as you are with SMS messages.
Mass Texting Results
Mass texting gets a 98% open rate and when you compare that to the traditional mass emailing which only gets about a 10-20% open rate, you can see this is by far the best way to reach your customers.
Your text can includes links which can be tracked, or you can ask your customers to respond via text if they are interested. Once they reply to a text message, you can setup automated response messages based on keywords, or you can log into your shared inbox and carry on a 2-way conversation with your customer.
Since most people respond to text messages within 30 seconds, you will be amazed at your response rate and conversions. Many of TextP2P users claim they are seeing a 10X improvement in sales just from using text marketing.
