What Is Two-Way SMS Texting?
Two-way texting is the ability to receive and respond to inbound text messages and have one-to-one text conversations with contacts. It sounds simple, but can greatly improve your customer experience and internal communications.
Also called “1-to-1 messaging,” two-way texting allows your customers to reach your business via text any time, which reduces time playing phone tag and helps ensure you’re not missing out on new sales or bookings.
You can also combine two-way texting with personalization, automation, and integrations to create the foundation for a powerful conversational texting strategy, which puts the customer first and thrives on the precise kind of one-on-one interactions two-way texting provides.
