How Does SMS Marketing work?


The primary objective of any SMS marketing involves a campaign that involves a keyword and a shortcode. For instance, the text- “FLAVORS” to 123456 for our flavor of the day!

Here the word “Flavor” is the keyword which users type in the body of the text message and on the other hand the digits “123456 “ is considered to be the shortcode which the users will send in their text message.
