How SMS marketing works in Dubai and the UAE

Short answer: SMS works best for a clear, time-sensitive message sent to people who have permission to receive it. We help with audience selection, sender ID approval, scheduling and delivery reporting. Start with a smaller batch, use a trackable phone number or URL, then compare response before sending more.

You can use bulk SMS for offers, event invitations, appointment reminders and customer updates. The message must identify the sender, stay within the approved format and provide the required opt-out route. Results depend on the audience, offer, timing and follow-up, so we do not promise a fixed number of calls or sales.

What to watch for

Why SMS marketing may not work for you

  • If you do not include your company phone number, email address or link for a call to action in your SMS you will never know the result.
  • Many people are traveling, so the SMS report may so undelivered. However in most cases, this undelivered doesn't crosses more than 5%
  • Sometimes, you may get fewer calls or clicks to the website or response. The reason may be that the timing was not good, the offer was not good, the database needs to be rechecked.
  • Try sending SMS to the right database and creative messages or offers. Make sure to comply with DED or relevant ministries if you are promoting any offer.
  • Testing multiple times can help you narrow down on what works. As the optimization is limited here. Unlike our digital marketing campaigns.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is SMS marketing done ?

You can share your marketing messages you want to send to a particular audience. We have the database and the tools to send out the sms. If you want to send the sms yourself, we give you the sms panel where you can upload your database and also send sms to your list. This way you can sms when you want and see reports too.

Do you have a database?

Audience availability depends on the consent and permitted use attached to each source. We do not sell a contact list. Before a campaign, confirm the audience criteria, consent basis, opt-out process and current deliverable count.

What kind of database do you have?.

Use customer language, service area, interests or purchase history only when that information was collected properly and the consent covers the campaign. Any third-party segment needs the same checks before use.

How accurate is the database?

No list stays perfectly current. Review when and how consent was collected, suppress opt-outs and invalid numbers, then use delivery and response data to assess quality. Do not describe a database as qualified without evidence.

What is SMS sender ID

SMS Sender ID is an 11 digit character which can be used to send sms. Usually its your brand or company name. We need to get approval for this sender ID from the telecom operators and it takes 3 - 5 working days. You will be required to submit your company trade license and submit an application form.

Will I get results from the SMS marketing?

We do not guarantee results. It depends on what you mean by a result. When you send your sms, you are broadcasting your message to thousands of people. Now these users may or may not see your message. We don't have any analytics available. If they see your message and they like the message, they may react by either calling your business, visiting your website or any other activity you want them to do in your sms marketing messages. Understand your risk and rewards before engaging in the SMS Campaign. We advise to start with smaller sms quantities to see results and often change the sms message for better performance.

What are the SMS marketing best practices

Always send sms using your Sender ID, it gives people reason to open and read your sms. Most important is the offer you are trying to send, Try to give the best offer to which the user is likely to react. Have a separate phone number to track calls or website traffic so you can measure the success. Database quality also plays an important role. Sometimes wrong people may call you, but this is due to the database accuracy which is around 50 - 70%. Check out the best timing when your customers may react and send messages around that time.

What kind of SMS report i get

The report is system generated and the report that you get shares data like the number of sms sent, delivered and non delivered. You can also check on your end on how many calls you received or the website visitors as a result from the sms campaign.

What are the limitations of SMS marketing

You can send 149 characters in English ( 11 digit for opt out ) and 70 characters in Arabic. We can send your sms in UAE and other GCC countries. This is text based sms only. Reporting gives you data on sent and delivered / non delivered.

What is the cost of SMS marketing

SMS Marketing cost starts from 6 fils per sms for higher quantities and can be between 7 - 10 fils per sms for lower quantities of 50,000 sms or under. These costs are subject to change.

What is the duration of an SMS marketing campaign?

Timing depends on sender approval, audience checks, volume, schedule and provider capacity. A campaign may be sent in smaller batches so response and delivery quality can be reviewed before the remaining messages are released.

How much does SMS marketing cost?

The cost of SMS marketing varies depending on the service provider and the number of messages sent. Typically, the cost ranges from 6 to 10 fils per SMS, with potential bulk discounts for larger volumes of messages. Additionally, some providers may charge setup fees or monthly subscriptions for accessing their SMS marketing platforms.

Is SMS marketing still effective?

SMS can work well for appointment reminders, urgent updates, event invitations and time-limited offers. It is most useful when recipients have agreed to hear from the sender, the message is specific and the response can be tracked through a dedicated number or tagged URL.
