Send text messages from your company name by using an alphanumeric sender ID (alpha tag) to increase brand recognition and build trust.
Alphanumeric sender IDs support one-way text messaging, so you can efficiently keep your contacts informed of updates, alerts, and promotions.
Sending messages from an alpha tag to a mobile phone is akin to placing a pamphlet in a letterbox. It gets your brand name out there, builds recognition, and makes you top of mind.
Rather than have a random number appear when you send SMS messages, become familiar by showcasing your brand identity in the ‘From’ field.
