Cutting Down Office Expenses Via Bulk SMS

posted by Catt Mallen
Sunday, September 25, 2011

Most office management personnel would think that bulk SMS is just an added expense, since this requires a monthly payment for the subscription fee to use the service. But in contrast, this can actually significantly cut down the office operational expenses.
 
Many educational facilities, business organizations, and companies are using SMS services today. This is due to the numerous benefits that such services provide. One of the benefits is fast distribution of urgent updates to all concerned people. Aside from that, this is more convenient than sending letters inside the envelopes to different people, just to keep them properly updated. This can also save a lot of time. But most all, huge savings can be obtained from using the service.
 
There are various ways that companies can obtain significant savings from this service. The common method of communication in the past under the corporate setting is to print the information on company papers and place them inside the envelope prior to mailing the memo to all workers. The whole process requires a lot of papers every month, just to keep the workers fully updated about the latest developments in the company. The massive quantity of paper, when equated to financial value, is equivalent to a big amount.
 
Fortunately today, companies don’t have to use papers anymore just to keep their workers abreast with the most recent company developments. All they need to do is simply compose the message on their computer and send the message to all concerned channels with just one click of a button. Interestingly, the urgent information is instantly distributed and immediately received by the members of the group. This is a far cry from the past that takes days for the information to be received.
 
Aside from lesser use of papers, companies can also reduce the use of inks for their printers. Moreover, postal expenses and the costs of the use of freight services are significantly lowered down. Additionally, expensive cellular phone calls and long-distance calls are further minimized.
 
Bulk SMS is, therefore, the cost-effective method in solving issues on high operational costs in many companies today.  This can also make the organization environment-friendly, by minimizing the consumption of materials made of paper like office memo and envelopes.

SMS Messaging and its Importance in the Modern World.

Sunday, September 27, 2009

We all use our mobiles daily to send free sms messages to and receive text messages from family, friends and work related contacts. On average each cell phone in the world sends 36 messages per month, this reinforces the importance of SMS or text messaging in our lives today.

But how did SMS become such a large part of our daily lives and where did it originate from?

No company or individual can claim the right that they developed the Short Message Service. It was the co-operation of many different people around the world that led to this achievement.

France and Germany first made the proposal of SMS at the GSM meeting in 1985. This prompted the initial development of the modern SMS service on the GSM network. The first SMS or text message was sent by the Vodafone GSM network on the 3 December 1992 in the United Kingdom using a computer. The first SMS or text message sent by a mobile phone, is claimed by an engineer working for Nokia in 1993.

Initial growth of the short message service was slow with an average of 0.5 messages sent per GSM handset per month in 1995. This figure in 2000 had risen to 35 text messages per GSM handset per month. That’s a whopping 70 fold increase in 5 years.

70 Billion messages were sent in the USA alone in 2008, proving how widely used SMS messaging has become. The reasons for this SMS service becoming so popular are numerous.

Rather than calling a person one can save money by sending a quick SMS instead. The youth of today have adopted sending SMS as the popular new way of communicating with their friends. Commercial sending of bulk SMS messages using a PC that connects to a bulk SMS gateway has become a very popular and effective marketing tool.

The increase in use of the short message service is rather simple. It provides people with an easy to use two way communication channel that costs very little versus making a phone call. Ones cell phone is always on a person so a message can be sent at any time, removing the need to be in front of a PC to send or receive an email. Commercially it works out almost 80% cheaper than traditional telecommunication methods.

Big corporations dramatically increase their customer service ratings by using SMS for notifications. SMS messaging, or texting, has become part of our daily lives and is sure to be with us for a long time.

The short message service industry is now worth over 81 billion US dollars a year and is showing no signs of slowing down. With nearly a 90% profit margin it is no wonder that the SMS industry is booming.
