SMS for Excel
Sending bulk SMS just got easier. It is as simple as click, highlight and send. The touchSMS Excel add-in lives in the ribbon, reads your spreadsheet data, and sends personalised SMS to a few or thousands of contacts in minutes.
How to send SMS from Excel
Sending SMS to 10 contacts or 10,000 contacts takes less than a minute with touchSMS' SMS for Excel. Contact your whole client base right away and personalise each message. Once everything is set up, open your spreadsheet in Excel, select and highlight the cells or columns containing your data, and then click Load. Using merge fields, you can blend data from each selected column into your SMS to personalise every message in an instant. Compose your SMS, preview the campaign and send.
Why SMS is so effective
With almost as many handsets in circulation as there are people on earth, SMS is perhaps the most widely accepted form of communication available. 98% of text messages are read by their intended recipient within 3 minutes of delivery, which is why a spreadsheet full of numbers plus an Excel add-in is one of the highest-leverage marketing setups a small team can run.
