SMS banking, a powerful tool for customer care services
SMS or text marketing has become the favorite tool of marketers. Not only private companies are opting this strategy for mass communication but the public sector has also started indulging in the same because of a highly receptive audience and the success rate of promotional activities. Customers carry their mobile phones everywhere and that makes it the best communication channel. In a recent study, it has been found that 80% of messages are opened and read, the figure is good enough to involve the same in the marketing strategy.
A step to move forward
However, the public sector has gone one step ahead and has introduced this service as a tool to serve customers. SMS may be a simple and short word but it is a powerful tool for one point communication. Various public sector institutions like EPFO, Banks have made SMS a platform through which a customer can avail the details of his account balance within minutes of sending a message. This service has made it easier for customers to know their account balance without even going to the bank.
Beneficial for both customers as well as employees
In this fast-paced life, no one has time to stand in long queues just to get passbook updated, with these services not only banks, have helped customers but this step has also helped bankers to take a sigh of relief. Earlier, one person was specifically designated to do this job for worthy customers, not only it was a wastage of manpower but also there was no skill required to do this job, hence banker doing this job used to feel monotonous and non-worthy. But now with fewer walk-ins to know the balance, the same manpower can use their skills to perform a better job which is productive for both banks as well as the employee performing this job.
